Definitely a track with visiting, but most track days at Laguna are now 90 dB. If you have stock exhaust, you should be fine. If you do make the trip out here, theres some other great tracks in Northern California like Thunderhill and Sonoma/Infineon/Sears point etc.

I ask because I'm doing the 2-day M school in Thermal, CA soon, and was hoping to get some video and track data, but don't own a gopro (or any action camera)... this appears to be an inexpensive option where I can use my phone as the camera for now, but have the option of using it with an action camera if I every upgrade to one in the future.

One thing I will say about the 2-Day M School in Thermal. I've done this as well as the 1 day and the M Track Day. You will not really have time to setup the GoPro and your phone to run Racechrono for each car you hop into. All timed events will be timed by the school anyway, and at this point, knowing how fast you were going at a certain point on the track won't really help you. You might get some good info looking at your throttle modulation, but you need an OBDII adapter connected to the car to get that data. With how often you switch cars and how little time you have to do it, you stand the chance of missing instruction and not getting the most out of the school. Just drive, live in the moment, take in as much as you can. If this is your first time driving like this, then don't worry about recording it. There will be plenty of chances to do that once you get better and you can actually use the videos to improve.

It's a simple setup to get the gopro itself mounted. I can post a pic when I get home tonight.

You're using the adhesive mounts that come with the GoPro right?

You also have to go to your export queue and start the export, then you have to transfer to your photos app.

Sorry, didn't get to mount it again until tonight. Here it is all mounted and ready for a track day tomorrow:
GoPro Helmet Mount by JMG, on Flickr I have a chin mount setup but IMHO it's too low and I can't see enough of the track itself. Half the screen is steering wheel and dash. This is at least eye-level.
