You guys do know that if you hardwire the PDR unit that the ChaseCam system can automatically turn on when you turn the car on, automatically start recording when you start moving, pause when you stop and shut off when you turn the car off all without pushing any button right? So really the unit can be mounted anywhere.

I didn't use the carpet bolt holes, but it's a good idea (although the holes are far apart). Drilled into the sides of the aluminum extrusion in front of the seat.

My Chase Cam is hardwired and I am aware that it can be set up to start/stop automatically. Used it that way for a while, but changed back to a remote button as I wanted to get video while waiting on the grid, not just on the track (for editing purposes).

Knowing that I was going to get a Traqmate and that it should be mounted as close to the center on the car as possible as well as facing forward as level as possible (although you can change the setup via software) and that the connection cable from the Traqmate to the Chasecam was not very long.....pretty much dicated location for both devices.

I am also using a Sony HXR-MC1 digital HD video camera for recording in high defination and 16X9 widescreen as the resolution from the Chase Cam is poor. I know Randy is working on an HD version. Waiting for it to come out.
