I doubt most of the homemade rigs would be allowed, although maybe they'll be more lenient (sp) since it's just an open track session. The main thing you should consider when making your own camera mount is "will it come loose in a crash?". Getting hit with a camcorder may not kill ya, but getting a 2x4 in the neck sure would.

I ordered a camcorder mount, and it's supposed to arrive TODAY. It BETTER be here in time for SZ2002. Made of extruded aluminum and steel, and mounts to the passenger headrest posts. The model that mounts to both headrests would not allow my racing harness to fit. $69 + S&H.

Hopefully it will work well. Our seats are not the most sturdy items in the world. I'll likely strap down the SEAT in order to keep it from wobbling in it's tracks. Have any of you ever felt how loose our seats are in the SVT?

TWO MORE DAYS!!

If that seat belt with the baby seat clip can hold my 250# bod in place during an autoX, I'm pretty sure the camera will stay put.

I will check it out in the parking lot near my house before going crazy with it.

EDIT, I know it is hard to tell from the photos, but all of my tripod legs are on the floor, not the seat.

Most guys who make in car footage just "happen" to have a rollbar which they attach the camera to.

Sounds nice. smile I've got a remote mount camera semi-permanently in the front grille, and another that I plan to move around the car.
