This reminds me of a question I have, How much is to be gained from the in
car camera? I know it would be really cool to see myself drive, make sure I
am looking ahead, foot and hand positions, etc. I would like to make the
investment I the camera and such but right now that $ would pay for a couple
Evolution schools, a couple of tires, sway bars, you get the picture. If
there is a lot to be gained then I would be willing to make the investment.
For those that have the in car camera, is it a good learning tool or more
for fun?
FWIW, I did see a lot of competitors at Natls this year that had them.

>What is the best way to mount a camera in a car?
Mini-camera taped to the side of your helmet. Autocross has
smaller corners
than road-racing (at least, it's supposed to). The problem
with putting a camera
on the car is that you get a shot of the car going straight,
then a lateral
blur, then the car car going straight again. Not very
instructive.
Camera on helmet follows your head at you look ahead (you DO
look ahead, don't
you?) and captures the autocross experience much better
than a camera which
is nailed to a car.
