Hey guys. Looking to head to the dragon some time this spring, and I wanted to get a bullet cam. Does anyone have experience with setting these up? I'm fairly technologically and mechanically knowledgeable, I'm just looking for some feedback on different systems. I've found several hits on the internet for the topic, but most of them are from retailers, and I would like to get an unbiased opinion. Bench testing and theory-craft are two of my favorite past times.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to Ghost Rider it up out there, just get some good footage of some nice leans.

That was years ago, and it was a crude system. The shit out now's way better, and cheaper... and I'm not up to date on the state of the art.

Too bad Westview Blvd is the closest thing to curves in GC. They just need to up the speed limit to 55 and maybe it would be better.
