I just went for a Bitchin ride in your backseat!
Car sounds awesome, doesn't take much pedal to catch traffic either.
Can't wait to see what it looks like at the track.

For my first try I mounted it in the quarter glass inside. For track use I will mount outside. Didn't want to loose it on the street.

Might want to check with your local track on rules for camera mounts. Some tracks are more strict than others with regards to the type of mount used.

I bought the same stuff all the guys at the track have been using for years. Our local tracks are pretty relaxed. They will let little things go as long as you are not oblivious to it. I also plan on making a tether as a fail safe. Just a small air craft wire locked on to if for the blast down the track. I dont fully trust the suction cup.

Looks like a good time. Nice quality, especially for night.

I was impressed by how well it worked at night. The sound was not bad its loud inside my car so it distorts the sound a bit. You can usually hear me coming from 3 blocks away if im on it.

Got to use it again at the track over the weekend at the BOP race @ great lakes dragway. I took runner up. This was a video of my best pass that day In some heavy humidity and well in the 80's ran a 12.77. Still figuring out how the wifi feature works. We can turn it on from the stands but i guess afterwards is an issue. You will see why if you watch it lol.

Thanks. We are messing with the camera still figuring it out but it's a cool gadget.
