Video camera mount

You do not want ANY wind noise. Put the remote mic in the glove box, or on the floor of the passenger side. You should try different places because you want to hear the sweet engine noise!

I bought a Sticky Pod mount for my digital camera that takes OK movies. You can get by with one suction cup (about $10) and mount it to the dash next to the rear view mirror.

One of these days I'll spring for a camcorder, but for now the $250 Nikon will do OK.

Warren,

Make sure to get a really good camera that takes wide angle pictures so when you are telling the police that some car ran you off the road they will have a picture of the car. Also make sure that it doesn't include your speedometer in the picture.

With the backwards operating Smith speedo, the faster I go, it looks like I'm going slower to someone that does not know its backwards!

Its about time, but my ship finally came in.

Nice ship. Does it have any Cobra kits in all of those containers? Maybe in you area of the country Snowmobiles would be more practical. However with Global warming now becoming a major problem, maybe containers of ice would be more useful.

I'm forming an opinion that Ron has personal experiences to relate to on the subject matter...

The identical video mount from I/O Port Racing Supplies, with the same price, and some options. Be aware the SCCA and other track organizations require a safety strap:
