What's "COM" ?? I'm in NASA but they do not have NHMS in the rotation. Short drive for me so would like to try it out.

~ 7 hour drive (with stops) to Watkins Glen but worth it

Sorry COMSCC, see COMSCC.org. NHMS is their home track so they run about 4-5 events there a year and only about 2-3 away events. They run HPDE on Day 1 and time trial on Day 2 for most events. $100 rebate for your first event with them.

Very nice mount, you should start selling these.

My cheat sheet for Go Pro Settings (word & PDF)

I always use these same settings- the only changes
1. when I do exterior car shots R2 & Cnt
2. interior car shots R5 & Spt
3 IF I invert camera - Upd
---------------------
I never use auto power off so leave setting Off
I do turn off the LCD just to save a little battery LCF

Quick Laps was mounted on Tow Hook. If you look at Paddock shot in "Lime Rock Go Pro 720" you can see the camera mount on the car (this mount shown was not used in the "720" vid I must have inserted this intro from the Quick laps run

Generally I shoot 720 and post 720 as very good quality and reasonable memory size. On interior shots will do 1080p but post to Utube in 720 only to keep file size down

cheat sheet on my typical settings above

Thought I would add this. Just did a little research since I got mine and I had a lot of wind noise!



Next test I do will be the bottle mod and another good thing to do is to place tape over the mic holes. Might look weird, but you can't argue with no wind noise!

Yep! The old SVTOA courses were the best, I remember hitting near the top of 3rd gear in the G35 on plain old tires, who knows how fast the race tire guys were going. My buddy in his Lightning did a 360 at 80 mph and stayed on course! SVTOA is now NE-SVT but we still build some pretty good courses, just not quite as fast anymore, LOL. Now we try to build the courses so that they have a good flow at a speed that will be in the power band for most cars. You might get into 3rd gear in a couple of places but it's not like the old days.

It was so fun man, guy took me out in an Ariel Atom 2 SC at that event and I wouldve crapped my pants if it hadnt been for the G forces.

How do you guys know when the camera is level? Do you all have the little backpack ldc thing?

Too expensive at $79, picked up a portable 7" lcd portable monitor from local giant electronics chain for $59. Will be testing it out this Sat on my Feather River Run.

The BacPac is worth the cost because it makes the camera so much easier to use and provides a playback screen which is attached to the camera.

Too small of a screen IMO for the price.
