Just got a digital video cam and an in car mount.
The mount has a large suction cup to mount to any window surface. The picture on the box actually shows an option with it attached to the outside of the car on the door, a la Dukes of Hazard. I'll mount it to the inside of the rear window for easy operation.

Here's the scenario: record the first run. Watch the video on grid before the next run!

Then I hand off the cam to my wife to record footage of me and my 914 friends.

The camera comes with video editing software and frame by frame advancing for individual still capturing.

It's awesome! JVC GR-D72 $399 at Costco. Had a $50 off coupon to boot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Having video to watch and show keeps me all hopped up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I'm in need of a new video camera. I've looked at that model. $350 is a very good deal. Where did you get the coupon?

Dunno if you will be allowed to run at the autox with the camera suction mounted like that. Generally I think they would prefer to see a more secure mount.

The coupon came in the mail. May be available at the store or online ( costco.com? )

The mount was purcahsed a Wine Country Motorsports at Infineon ( Sears Point ) Raceway.
It should be very high quality ( German made ) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The suction cup is very powerful and is controlled by a lever, not just lick and stick.
Also has a safety strap.

Tried the mount on the vineyard lap today.

Really nice. No vibration at all. Looks just like you're sitting next to me. Easy operation from the driver's seat.
The sound comes through quite well also, so the whole MOOD and JOY is captured. Ahhhh.

Look for a wide angle lense. It makes all the difference.

Mr. T.

Why don't you rent the camera and mount by the run! I'd love to see how it works in the silver car, before I buy the complete setup.
