Several of us have camera mounts for our cars. I can show you how I have mine if you want. Bolts to the deck when the rear center seat truck access is removed.

on the menu.....
Friday night is is grilled braut night with the fixins. Even if you don't stay at the track with us you are more than welcome to come by for grub and stuff. Gates are open til 10:00.
Saturday night after the awards ceremony and INFAMOUS Raffle (don't fill up on too much pizza) I have procured 10lbs of BBQ and my very own homegrown sauce.
I'm not a big beer drinker so if that's your thing, it's BYOBeer. I have a huge cooler and will have ice.
Of course the blender will be going both nights......
more to come.....

Did some owrk on the camera mount today. It is a hybrid of Nabil's and lego's. It uses the 3/4" square aluminum tubing mounted to the rear deck, but I disassembled my suction mount, and have attached the extended arm with camera mount to the tubing. Should work. I will find out tomorrow.

I will also have sandwich stuff and bottled water. NASA supplies bottled water as well to the crew.
List of things we'll still need...
*Buns - for brauts and BBQ
*Slaw
* Anything you can think of for breakfast (i'll have pop tarts and cooked sausage)
*snacks (chips, dips, etc)
I have cups, plates, etc.....
We have a refrig, oven, stove, grill, and microwave (okay, so it's not really camping......)
For those sleeping over....I have pillows, but if you want to bring your favorite, I understand. I have blankets and such also. We'll have to use the showers at the track (there is no water connection at the sites) so bring your rubber ducky and stuff if you so please. I have soap and shampoo.

Another question,
what about rain? Do they cancel everything if it rains, or is it play on, but in the wet?
Just a few days now, I can't wait.
