@SeriouslyOut88 The camera used for this position was a GoPro, which includes a mount within the standard kit that you can use for this camera angle. If you're not familiar with the GoPro line, the system uses adhesive submounts that can be stuck anywhere on the bike, and the main camera mount slides and then staps into these submounts. I've placed the submounts all over the bike in just about any spot I think I might ever want to place a camera. Then, I can move the camera around as desired.
Looking at photographs taken from various angles I noticed that it's not as pronounced as the video makes it seem---the video seems to exaggerate the angle a bit because of the extremely wide angle lens---but it's definitely something I needed to see.
@SeriouslyOut88 I'm not going to tell you that you can use a camera for any event at any track, but I can tell you that I've never had a problem using a camera on any track that I've been on, and that includes Jennings GP, Gingerman, Road Atlanta, Barber, Nashville Superspeedway, Daytona, VIR, CMT, and several others. As long as it's mounted firmly to the bike and doesn't appear to be unstable or project dangerously, it won't be an issue at Jennings and probably anywhere else.
I like the shots, I'll try them this next weekend. Now, IMHO, and ONLY as a suggestion, I'd recommend you revise your body positioning, I see you are not "Aiming" your shoulders to the turn, try that, I could help you out.
@philthethrillohio Yep, as previously stated to a poster, this is something that was apparently to me after I started recording video from the tail. SOME of this is due to the camera angle---for some strange reason it makes the effect much more dramatic---but overall I wasn't getting my upper body off the bike as much as needed.
I should note that another factor is something I've been dealing with the last few sessions at various tracks. Had to use street tires last few sessions, and suspension is a way off. Net effect is in an effort to keep lean angle much less than normal, I've been hanging off WAY more than normal. Result is that the body position looks "forced" into an awkward body angle. Should have both of these issues fixed by mid-Oct, and I'll shoot some more video (possibly at Daytona CCS)
@philthethrillohio Oh, no offense taken! :-) It's good constructive criticism, and it's surprising that I've been club racing for years without anyone mentioning it until recently.
