And whats with the windscreen, looks like you used some cat fur for it lol
It is well known that cat fur blocks out tons of noise, just imagine a cat without fur and it wouldn't be a 'purr' it would sound much louder

As for the pics of us rolling I just never got around to processing them. Took almost 200 pics from both GoPros as we were heading down. I will say that the remote wifi works great!

Another mounting place to consider is a company called Proto just came out with a license plate mount that would work well on the front or rear IF you have a front license plate location.

^^^ Its easy to achieve those same angles without buying that mount with just the suction cup. I've used that rear facing shot many times with the cam mounted next to the plate. Plus it doesn't interfere with the plate which doesn't interfere with the cops for when you're not on the track.

Here's a cool vid just to see some extra GoPro angles (since we are the angle topic) and watch Baldwin destroy an M3 and jump a GTR! One of my fav vids circulating right now.

I have the Contour camera as apposed to most of u who have the GoPro.

The difficulty I find is getting a good mounting location from the interior of the car (for those night time cruises), I've found the ISF to be difficult to find a location.

The best I've found is using the suction mount mounted to the sunroof.

Here's a quick tester of the video quality of the contour mounted to the drivers side window

The damn pillar is taking up half the space which sucks and I've since realised its not a good camera location.
