Just signed up for a buddy, hoping to stay within the same run group. Thanks.

People won't be shuffled without being asked, so he'll be good!

Beginners will have coaches with them until they're safe to be on their own, so passengers in that group might have to wait a couple sessions before a ride along.

On a related note, registration is now closed! We filled up way faster than expected and hit the cap. It literally JUST closed, so if you registered earlier today you're fine.

See everyone on the 12th!

Too bad I'm going to miss this day

Hopefully I'll have the car ready for the next one!

For those with action cams, how are you guys mounting/securing them?

I picked one of these guys up recently, just looking if there's another angle that I could consider.

I pieced together a simple tow-hook mount: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35635:

Sweet. I have the Grimmspeed license plate locate kit there, I could easily tap onto it

wparsons · 07-03-2015, 01:23 PM

I use a suction cup mount to put my gopro at the middle top of the rear window (on the inside), with medium FOV.

I felt that with the setup @wparsons described you need to get a slightly tighter FOV (no idea the GoPro had that option, I cheaped out and got a Sony).

I just want to minimize the mount of work in post

mabviper · 07-03-2015, 02:03 PM

I have a sony too. Turn on steady shot. It makes fov tighter. Only complaint I have with this position is that since sony doesn't have spot metering, you can barely see the track since it'll be overexposed.

I do the same setup as @wparsons, gopro suction mount middle top of rear window. Medium setting on GoPro.

wparsons · 07-03-2015, 02:12 PM

This is what it looks like, with the gopro on spot metering mode for better lighting:

Wparsons, is there a Link to registered users for the 12th?

What time is this track event end? I know it's a full day event but I cannot find out what time it ends. Thanks in advance.

Nevermind... I think it's full already.

What's the next lapping day at the MOSPORT?
