Nice vid....As always doing your best. Good job

 

good vid...I felt myself ducking to try to look out the windshield

 

That's hilarious. I caught myself doing the same thing here at my computer.

 

I watched the vid again and you are right, you can definately see the speed if you look at the road. The first time I watched it, it looked slow because I was paying more attention to the movements inside the car (what the driver was doing), than to the road flying by; and also like ries said: "Trying to duck" to see if I could get a better view, hahaha!!!

Most of the view is the rear view mirror and the roof.

Can you mount the camera on the side of your helmet?

 

Might I suggest putting the mic in the trunk to avoid wind noise... the exhaust would be much more prevalent and probably sound bad-***.

 

Yeah, that's the plan for next time. It's already on the side of my helmet, but it's above the earhole area. I'm going to try putting it on the side of my jaw next time to see if I can avoid the sun visor and rearview. I had never done it before, so this was a first run. I think the vantage point is awesome, but the obstructions kinda suck.

Talon, the mini-mic is at the end of a short wire that branches off the same wire that goes to the bullet cam, and it's only a foot or two, so I can't relocate it anywhere. You're right that it would sound badass if it were isolated near the exhaust or engine. Just the way it is now is way better sound than when I mount the cam on my back deck, which is nothing but wind noise.

 

Update:

Here's a vid of the only car that had a faster lap, the Whitis Noble M400 who ran the 2006 Tire Rack Cannonball One Lap:

The full version is worth downloading so that you get a better look and see him shoot flames on the shift:

Wow, your BOV makes a cool sound! How can I get mine to sound like that? joke

Mounting the camera anywhere below your eye line on the helmet with a slight downward angle (just like your eyes looking out and down at the track) will probably give the best view.

Yeah, I'll be experimenting with putting it on my jawline next time. I can't do it at eye level due to there being no material to attach it to, but the jawline might work.
