Looking for suggestions on a way to mount my camcorder in my car for when I'm racing..... it needs to be secure enough to pass tech, out here tech is a pain in the @$$


I also want it to be removeable..... I was thinking at one point of getting an OBX rear strut bar and useing the holes in it to fab up a removeable mounting system... but I got lazy and cheep and decided not to go that route.

I'd like the camera to be able to see the driver (so I can review shifting and other fun driving things) but also see out the window well enough to see how the race went when I feel like showing other people the video.


Any suggestions? I'd prefer not to have to remove a lot of stuff to secure it in, at the same time though I want something that isn't going to flop around when I launch -- AWD has proven to be rather hard on things (I've forgotten to take the radar detector off a few times... damned thing hit me durring the launches).
 
I saw that thread.......... but I don't wanna do the harness mount thing.

My goal right now is to keep the car as stock looking as possible.
 
I am not sure how the 95 seats are, but if you have removable headrests, then get another head rest and cut the fabric off of it so you just have the bars that go into the holes of the seat. Mount your camera to that. It will pass tech inspection, and you will be able to view driver and road. I have done this in my hondas when I used to Auto-X them. It works perfectly.
