Video from my GoPro mounted on the dash of 1 lap around Watkins Glen with Trackmasters. Just thought I would share if anyone wanted to check out the track. -Chris |

WGI is an awesome track, if you ever get the chance I recommend running it. As far as "excursions" there are some decent run-off areas, but there are also some places that you probably would prefer to stay on the track (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
The goPro was mounted on the dash with an adhesive clip. I have other videos with it mounted on the roll cage - both inside the car and over my left shoulder (sticking outside the car slightly). I migth post some of the other views but it just takes a little time (and PC processing power) since the original videos are in 1080P resolution. A 20min video ends up being like 2-2.5Gig. -Chris |

Makes it like you're going 40 MPH around the track. I mounted mine on the chin of my helmet, which really gives the sense of speed, but it's a little low. I never thought I'd like it mounted on the dash, but your video changed my mind. Looks great! I'll definitely try to get to WGI someday. Thanks for the video. |
