Rear/ground-facing camera. Kind of interesting, IMO.

some advice...next time angle it more flat so you can see more than just the concrete

Yeah, it could have been angled up a bit.

It's not very useful as is, but I like it visually. I'm a little artsy that way.

I loved hearing that blow off valve vent right at the finish.

Less informative than Muddy's, but more fun.
Muddy needs better audio. Surround would be nice.

Yeah, I'll get right on that. :lol:

I do like the sound on that video, as well. However, it would be nice to see more than concrete rushing by. How about posting more video?

If I had it to post, I would.

I do not have a good place to mount my camera in-car yet.

I saw the camera mounted on your car. I have always been nervous about the idea of mounting a couple hundred dollar piece of equipment with suction cups, despite reassurances from others. :lol:

Didn't you also mount your camera to the side window?

Have you tried mounting it right on the nose? Might try it, see if it blocks your view.
Your rooftop mounting you tried before should work fine also, just need to get the angle right.

For 1 run, yeah. It helps when you turn the camera on.

The triple suction cup works perfectly well for any small camera. You can stick them to the car and tug HARD on the whole assembly... and can't pull it off.

I will spend more time before the next event to get a good position.

I'll give it a shot.

And I agree.
