How can I add a camera mount to my Turbo?

Just finished killer track night yesterday & have more coming up. Anyone know what the options are to adding an in-car video camera?

1. Add a techequipment rollbar and buy camera mount that attaches to it.
2. Buy small camera and suction mount and attach it to the passenger side window. (Might be a temporary option)

Is that a full rollbar or just a stiffening brace?

Or, how bout a stickypod, and get some footage from OUTSIDE the car? will they allow that at the track? Probably not. Lame. Nevermind.

Anyone use this? Looks cool, I assume it plugs into your regular video camera.

Manfrotto makes an special tripod to be mounted inside and outside the cars, they make the best tripods for the pros.
I don't have the link but it's easy to find it on the web.

I have tried them all. This is by far the easiest and the strongest suction.

I use the exact same mount. However, I would purchase a separate bullet cam to plug into your camcorder (used as a recorder). Have the recorder in your glovebox or some place secure, while the light bullet cam is all that's is being supported by the mount.

If you have a sunroof, you can mount it upside down to get a really nice angle: [media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=n1Akl-sMQ9I[/media]

You can also, create an aluminum support bar that zipties to your seats (I even tried this on my fixed buckets) and mount the bullet cam on that using a part of the chasecam mount as a swivel/adjust.
