Where do you suggest mounting a GoPro on a helmet for kart racing? Top of helmet- high enough to clear the visor when the visor is open, chin mount, or left or right side?

I like the side of the helmet personally. It gives the video a better sense of speed. Anyhow, here are couple vids from my local karting place...

Offset to one side (think a 45 degree angle, or about the 10 or 2 o'clock position).

Top of the helmet (to clear flipped up shield) gives a freakish perspective, at least it does when riding my motorcycle. I've been tempted to try it on the chin bar, though.
