i am putting together a video which will be a compilation of my racing footage (on and off the track) with friends.

i have begun to take some footage of some of our local antics, and i have found it extremely hard to capture the true perception of speed on the camera. i ordered a stickypod so that i will be able to mount the cam in various places outside and inside the car, but i want to get some advice on how to best capture speed. i raced a friend up to 155 mph last night and from the video, it looked as though we may have been doing 30 mph.

does putting the camera closer to the ground make a difference in the translation of speed perception on a camera? would trailing shots (shot from the back of the car pointing back) pick up relative speed better than chase shots (shot from the front facing the front). i need some help here. what's the point of making a racing video if you cant capture the speed?

thanks in advance!!!
