I did some research and came across a corvette forum praising the Audio Technica Pro24CM mic for the gopro. I will be ordering one before my next track day. If you google it I'm sure you could find it, but the differences are amazing.

 

From some reading I've done I commonly hear an external mic in the transmission tunnel area is good for picking up the sound you want and none of the wind noise.

 

Even the cheapest external mic in the world mounted somewhere out of the wind would be a good upgrade. I used to mount a cheapo mic in my foot well for autox and the difference compared to being up near the wind deflector with the camera was night and day.

Wind noise is probably a lot more problematic at track speeds though, so I might be comparing apples to oranges.

 

Thanks Rob. It's actually an ls1, which is about $10k and about 100 wheel hp/dry sump difference.

David, have you seen the size of that microphone? It's as large or larger than the gopro itself.

 

Nothing like V8 Torque up the hills.

From the little I watched from the video, you need to track out more. Looked very good overall though.

 

Nice, your line out of 4 into 5 needs a bit of work, and 4 needs much more speed

According to my Instructor I wouldn't have passed you on Saturday if you had a Ford V8 lol

Yes, but I figure if it will be mounted anywhere it's not a big deal. Here is the link to that other forum.

Somebody with the screen name CDaniel has a few good videos in it.

 

anyone going down to road atlanta with nasa south east in december (12/01-12/02)?

 

Haha I don't think a Ford over chevy v8 would've made any difference. First track event in over a year with a new torquey car = me being a little more cautious.

Next event I'm going back to asking for s2000 instructors. This one didn't have a headset and did some weird things. It was difficult but I still tried to do some things he suggested even though I didn't think it was the fastest way around the track. For example, turn 9 he told me to hug the inside of the turn and stay right side all the way down the track. Overall I did pick up a few new things from him though.

 

This is the one I use and recommend for Gopros... http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica.../dp/B002HJ9PTO

It's small and can be zip-tied to anything. Long cable means it can go anywhere. Batteries are 25 cents each when bought in bulk and last for days each. And if you break or lose one, you're out all of $20. These were all recorded with it:
