pics attached. Sorry so crappy, another late night for me so I had to take the pics in my garage
The camera mount is fully adjustable and locks into place with my custom wing nut haha. Basicallly it's a bolt with a square piece of steel welded to it.

I used it again this weekend in Fortwayne. I also took their trophies as wel LoL 
. I was going to sell it because I figured someone didn't have the time to make one or the interest so I would just sell mine... I hit a few cones that day it was one of the first times I have done so poor. the fortwayne event I did awesome until i started getting anxious to push the car so I hit two cones. If you want the camera to be out side the car turn the camera around and flip the bar to hang out side the window.

Works like a champ.

^^ i already made him one and mailed it to him....today actually.
if anyone wants one made, let me know....I have a garage full of tools and its my nature to build/make things...lol..
I have already had a bunch of PM's requesting this and i dont mind - seems to be quite a few members that do not own tools or are pressed for time which i understand..... this was not my intention in making a "DIY" hence "do it yourself" thread....
but i dont mind helping out, so long as you are patient with me in build and ship time...etc..lol...wife gets mad if i spend too much time in the garage...
