Easy camera and mount for track days?

That looks great! Are you running the Lightspeed event on 12/6?

I was inspired by this thread and @johnny.silva7 posts

and came up with my own version - we'll see if it works well in a few weeks at Laguna Seca

I am! Are you? if you are, see you there!

I wasn't planning on it, but I will see if I can make it work!

OT: what kind of laptimes you guys running there? and what mods?

Mine is still bone stock and I want to benchmark a stock car with pads/fluids before trying to beat my E90M3 1:40laptime.

My car is stock except for Castrol SRF, Counterspace C1XB/C1X pads, Nankang CRS tires, Honda OEM forged wheels, and pulled pins, and I'm running 1:44s.

I just bought some adjustable front ball joints that should give -3 camber and I'm thinking that will stop the front tires from rolling over and deliver a couple of seconds, and I'm leaving a couple of seconds on the table in turns 2, 6 and 9.

A 1:40 should be doable for me, at 73 years old, and I'm sure that a younger, better driver can take seconds off of that.

Thought I'd share an update for those who come across these photos later...
I cannot recommend this. I have stock suspension with H&R springs and the seat back shakes/vibrates like crazy just driving around town let alone doing anything at speed. Watching the video made me feel like my eye balls were spasming in my head.
The only way to make this work is to have image stabilization on, and if you've ever had image stabilization on in a car before, the panning effect is the other issue you'll be dealing with.

I'm going to stick with my helmet POV cam and windshield mount.
