SpeedyCam Drivers

Viewer-submitted road movies and photos.

tl;dr

It's great to see people send in their own road movies and car pictures. Meet the SpeedyCam drivers: Kent Erickson filming his Houston commute, Rex Racer cruising a Corvette at 150 mph through Montana, and motorsport photographer Frank Lehnert.

It's great to see that people send in their own road movies and car pictures. All those submissions are included in this area — please give a big round of applause to our drivers!

These movies are early-2000s originals in vintage QuickTime formats; each movie page offers the original file as a download.

Kent Erickson — Houston, Texas

Watch Kent driving around Houston, Texas as he goes to work and back home again. If you are from Europe and would like to see the American highways, then check out these movies — commutes by daylight and by night, filmed in December 2001. Thanks Kent for sending in these great shots!

Rex Racer — Detroit, Michigan

Hailing from Detroit, Rex is an avid automotive enthusiast, a graduate of several racing programs, owner of a marketing company, freelance writer and photographer, and a creative director and officer of an international advertising agency.

His video was shot in June 1996 while developing a story for Corvette Quarterly magazine, shortly after the United States repealed its national 55 mph speed limit. Montana's speed law had reverted to what was on the state books back in 1971 — a nonnumeric "reasonable and prudent" limit for daylight hours. The whole point of this impromptu video was to document how fast that particular Corvette could go, and the unexpected things that come with that wonderful thing called speed: 150 mph, as seen on the speedometer.

Frank Lehnert — racing photos

Frank is a motorsport enthusiast from Germany. He has been a passenger in many different touring cars and is always hanging around European race tracks and motorsport events to shoot great action photos — including the Toyota Formula One presentation in Cologne. I met him for the first time at the Michelin Driving Experience, where we were teammates in the "yellow" group.
