open track videcam mount in 996 C4S question

crosvs · #1 04-05-2006, 03:26 AM

ok ok i know isn't quite the right forum for such a question, but i can't seem to find any good porsche forums (strangely) ......

my father and i are going to hit up Thunderhill Raceway up in NorCal on May 10 (anyone else here going?!) and i wanted to get a vidcam mount for inside his new porsche since we'll be taking turns pushing it to its limits

i'm also probably taking my mustang again, and the vidcam mount i've got in that has been great (www.ioportracing.com) but i don't want to install anything in my dad's porsche that will in anyway alter/modify the interior trim.

suction camera mounts are not allowed by NASA. any ideas what i could use?

oh it's a 996 C4S.

thanks

I forget who, but somewhere on here is a member of 6speedonline.com. I know WagnerX5 has a 996 and there may be a couple of other forum members...

No Porsche talk on Roadflea? :p

unless you got a harness bar or roll cage, there is no place to safely mount a camera. and NASA is correct in its stance against suction cup mounts.

You could fabricate up an alumium bar and place a camera mount on it and bolt that bar down to the child seat restraint bolts on the rear shelf area. Under the carpet is 2 hooks for child seats to latch onto. Just unbolt those and bolt your bar onto that.

i plan on being at thunderhill dec 2-3 for the 25hr enduro race with NASA. we'll see how the sponsorship thing works out tho...

Hey, can we see some pics of Ketchep. I'm curious how she's looking these days, all transformed from the ultra-clean street car to all-out race car. I'll always remember the day your engine started it's decent (clack, clack, clack) and got you on the way to building a race car.

patience grasshopper.. the unveiling will come soon... here's a tidbit to whet your appetite: the car is 3 secs behind a gt3cup car... and if we do go to the 25hr enduro in december, we plan on taking 1-2 overall with our 2 cars like we did in 2003... not just in class but win the whole shabang...

got some graphic artist friends that work for disney (and designed the nascar schemes) working on a scheme for my ketchep right now
