My non-harness bar in-car camera mount (pics)
People asked for pics, so here's a few. This worked great for drag vids, but not so good for auto-x - it makes you dizzy from that angle with the cam zoomed to just past the dash. For road racing, this should work great until I get a harness bar.
And a bonus pic of my garage, haha:
I've already posted it, but this is the only vid I've uploaded so far:

Nice video there guy. At first I thought maybe it would be to rearward in the car but it shows what it needs to show.
Not to mention that is some hefty shifting! I have yet to do that to my baby.

Did you have to buy any thing else to make your current mount work.

No, I didn't have to buy anything besides the clamp mount itself. I clamped it right to the latch in the center of the rear deck.

OMG, I knew what a harness bar was, "brain fart"
Thanks for the info, I just ordered the clamp for my camera, I hope they allow it at the New England Drag Way.

I would run a tether on the camera too. I run mine from the camera strap to the passenger side tether. I use an old camera shoulder strap as a tether. You could also get a wide angle lens from Best Buy (about $40) that will widen the view in your car. They come with several adaptors to fit different lens sizes.
My camera mount (Home Depot custom spec) is in the same place as yours, but sits under the child tether bracket so I can leave the mount in when putting my son in the car.

Would the suction cup deal pass NASA tech-spec?
They made me take my radar detector out of my car even though it was velcroed to the dash... but they let me keep my G-Tech in the car.
