Mount for OFT on the track?

Wondering if any one has ideas for a mount to monitor vitals on the track.

Most of the track events I know are fairly restrictive when it comes to items mounted on the car while on track.

I know the iMagnet mount is fairly popular but I'm not sure of the strength of it at the track.

I already plan on getting a right angle OBD II adapter and taping it securely.

I'm using the iMagnet mount and it's very sturdy. I can't imagine it coming loose from driving on the road course.

That's oil temp, not oil pressure

Also, we are working on the next round of updates for the you guys. We are actually developing it on the GT86 OFT so you guys will get it first. I think you'll love it!

How long have you had your imagnet? I've read reviews that it doesnt work quite as well after a few weeks or a couple months.

I've had my iMagnet for more than half a year...i can't imagine you'll have any issues at all at the track with the OFT given its weight.
