I saw exactly the mount you talked about when I was at HMS on Saturday.
Admittedly I didn't take a close look at it, and you have, so I'll take your
word for how well it sticks. I was thinking of those radar detector mounts
that never stick. However, you may want to check with officials at events
you run to see if they'll let you run with the camera hooked up.
Technically, it's not bolted down, and I'd hate to see you get DQed for
getting some excellent footage!

Thanks for the tip!

Actually a friend of mine probably has all this. He has everything. :)
