Nicely done! Really like the swing arm mount POV. I've put a mount on my swing arm to get the same shot (same mount -- the rotating Contour one). I safetied the mount to the arm, and will do the same with my camera. Have yet to try it. We'll see how well it works.

Reading this, it seems the biggest lesson learned is to leave enough time to be ready (REALLY ready) before you leave for the track. That bit about getting to the fuses all by itself would have saved you a hell of a lot of angst.

I'm as guilty as anyone of procrastinating, of course....

As a pilot, I'm a big believer in checklists. So I made one for track days. Repeatable, easy to follow, and once a step is complete it's done. It includes bike prep, transport prep, and a thorough packing list.

Two years into track riding, I encounter stuff I would have forgotten without it, every single time.
