Default Inside mount for gopro seeing through windshield (autox and HPDE application)

Hi guy,
where are you mounting your GoPro for your racing and autox (from inside of the car to looking out only)? I am autoxing a c5 vette this year (Bstreet) and wanted a drivers eye POV very similar to this video (though I wouldn't mind camera pushed back a little to get even the shifter)


How can I do similar mount for gopro in c5? haven't see anything inside other than rear glass?

I was thinking, maybe buy this extension arm (http://goo.gl/5YLvo1) and just extend the GoPro suction mount from rear glass to front?

Help appreciated

Some of the guys put a bar across the back section near where the rear speakers are placed. Then they mount the 5 or 6 point seat belts to that and mount the Gopro on the bar in the middle. One of the vendors sells the bar and I don't know which one does that. Also the typical place to mount your fire extinguisher is on the floor in front of the passenger seat. Personally, I like the halo system but hear it's only legal on pure race cars and not legal for cars that are driven on the street. I would go to Summit for that.

Good luck with your racing season.

I would think that long of an extention would cause a lot of wobble and you won't get a smooth video like you posted. I saw a post a while back on a bar a guy made and mounted it to his hatch struts. Looked like it's pretty solid. I'll see if I can find it and post the link here for you.
