I think the best way to answer your question is to do a search for modified rear suspension video. There are a few of them out there. Then you can see some examples of what they can show you. This is one example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF68oAFcBiA&feature=related

I have a pro HD camera and it has saved us hours of time seeing what was going on and not guessing. Best money spent.

I have a Go Pro Hero and it is well worth the cost. Learned a ton of information about how far our suspension was actually traveling and how decieving the rubber indicators on the shocks can be.

I used a fog light like you buy at walmart that goes on a car. Wired it on a switch and turned it on when they let us on the track. A LED of some sort would draw less juice and be plenty of light but are more expensive. I have seen people use flashlights taped on that worked ok too.

I bought a cheap LED light at Harbor Freight and mounted it on the bar ( or the fuel cell) facing forward toward the rear suspension . It seems to give off enough light.
