Which In-Car Video Camcorder To Get?

[ninjabones]

George, it's all about the $$$$.  How much do you want to spend?  Best bang-for-the-buck appears to be Gopro (designed to do exactly what you intend); Steve M. just bought one.  Check it out at Pocono next week and see what you think. 

However, my bet is that you'll have a full DAS onboard within the next year and probably a private data coach.    You may want to just suck it up now and get the Traqcam complete system ($1,999)  That way you'll have ensured compatibility between data and video, as well as customer support for the entire setup from Traqmate.

FWIW, I bought a JVC Everio hard drive camera two years ago to shoot pics of the li'l ones.  It works fine in the car in SD Card mode (but the hard drive cameras are pricier than the SD card ones like Brian Minkin's). I'm a gadget freak... can't wait until I no longer need an hourglass to measure lap times; then I'll probably buy a laptimer or data acquisition system.
