Outboard, suction cup camera mounts. Does anyone sell them, or is it a DIY thing?
I remember someone (Jyoteen maybe?) fabbing one up a few years ago, and I think it would lead to some sweet footage if positioned low and behind the front wheel, off the rear corner, etc. Anyway, is something like that crazy expensive, is it DIY only, etc.? Basically, if anyone has thoughts on this, I'd appreciate hearing them. I think it would be a fun thing to do for the 2006 track season. In-car footage is nice, but outboard seems to much cooler.

Hey Matt, check these videos out and tell me if these are the types of shots
you're looking for...
If so I can talk to my friend who made them and see how he built the cups...

Love it! Can't be beat for the price, flexibility of mounting, etc
did you check out the video on my website? That was just after I bought it. I honestly haven't used it much since, but only because I haven't driven my car much. I'll be sure to put it to use again one of these days - maybe when the Golf gets a turbo and I compare to an S4 on a highway pull

Just be aware, the heavier the gear you strap to it, the more you'll spend for
something that can stabilize the weight of the camera gear. For P&S cams and mini-DV camcorders, that mount looks great. A dSLR might present a challenge for it though.
