Thats what I'm doing next month. I need to quiet my car down some before then. thats #3 on the to do before I go up there list.

In reply to this thread - I made a Rear external camera mount that will look down the side of the car. It will show the rear wheel/suspension doing its job, and steering input. It sits pretty low to the ground and should be an awesome shot with how close my rear tire is to my fender. I really want too see how much my suspension compresses/rebounds through corners.

Thats pretty much exactly it will look. I also still have an inside camera mount and I want to come up with something that sits on the roof looking forwards or back wards. Then I'll edit everything and splice all the pieces together for a decent vid.
