We've used our Motorsports Hero Wide unit on a number of occasions, and it's flat-out awesome. To check out our adventures, be sure to drop by our website, chevyhiperformance.com. You can see video clips of a '71 drag-radial Nova and a stock-suspension '68 Camaro in action at the dragstrip, including a few road-course clips from our most recent outings.

Each system comes with three flat and two curved adhesive mounts with quick-release buckles for fixated mounts, which can be used to mount the camera onto your helmet or anywhere on your vehicle. You also get a suction-cup mount with a three-way pivoting side arm assembly. Simply press the button to flatten the suction cup, and lift the lever to secure it. We've used this thing on everything from body panels to glass and Lexan windows, with no failure whatsoever.
