A little test video
Just got through mounting the in-car camera for Laguna Seca this week. This is the view (8mb file)...Right click and d/l.

I'm going to experiment with the michrophone setup. I'm getting a lot of "drone" from the rear storage area. I may move it up to just behind the seats in the center. I think the view looks "faster" than what's really going on. I mount this on my roll bar in the Cobra and it has a different "feel" to the video. In any case, it's going to be fun!

weeddoggy, camera setup looks great. I wish I could see it in person Tuesday, I'd been planning on it, but unfortunately the Z is not back together yet after Sears Point a few weeks ago. NASA puts on a real nice HPDE and looks like the weather is going to cooperate.

bluesteak63,
The lift is a Double Park by Cytech. I've had it for four years. It's been great. The Cobra is on top right now, but the Z06 has been there too! Makes working much easier.
The camera is from www.vrworld.com I've used it for four years on the Cobra and it's been great. Video can be seen here: www.weendoggy.com/video.htm
The mount for the Z06 is a temporary one. I made it from anodized right angle aluminum (OSH) and mounted to the visor clip screws. The camera feeds into my digital Sony cam/corder mounted behind the passenger seat.
I'd like to get the speedo/tach in as well, but time was short and that'll take some planning because the angle the camera has. It will see everything in focus from close to far, but moving the camera back will have more interior views and less windshield/track views.
Here are some pics:
