I just thought I would share some video of my weekend at Road Atlanta.

Mixing it up with the race cars:

I always enjoy watching your videos.

I gotta ask. What kind of camera and mounting system are you using. The vids look great. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to do a DE.

Man that looks like fun I've wanted to drive on road atlanta and mini taladaga for a long time

Thanks everyone. Road Atlanta is unique in its elevation changes. That's what really makes it fun, but also gives a bit of a pucker factor. That's what makes it exciting though, and especially when you realize how much speed you can really carry through some of those turns.

I am using a JVC PV-GS320 camera with a filmtools.com windshield camera mount. I am not sure how much I like the mount, but it works. It seems to get the shakes at certain points (doesn't help that I am redlining the car). It works though, and I will probably use it a few more times. What I have been impressed with though is the Go Pro HD. I might eventually upgrade to it.

How much does a windshield mount like that run? I am sure that most of them (except for the really expensive ones) get the shakes sometimes. I mean it is sitting practically right on top of the motor.

Here is the link to the exact mount I have.

They have others too, and I am wondering if a bigger suction cup would help. The website has a lot of different options for mounting a camera. You can get quite creative on how you want to get video.

Thanks for the link. I have actually been on their site before looking for grips and such for photographic purposes. Their prices seem a lot more reasonable that a lot of other companies I have looked at.
