I've been using a Tachyon XC with a generic GPS unit suction cup mount on the roofline. Seems to work pretty decent. I do wish the FOV was wider by about 20*.
Here's some clips from the TNT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZvDDUfjkQM

If you guys are interested, I could put a good deal together on the Go-Pro cameras. Let me know & I can get some prices put together depending on # of folks interested.

I picked up my GoPro Hero Wide Motorsports kit for $155.00 with free shipping. You can pretty much put this camera anywhere you want.
Here's some of my GoPro footage from the Afton event.

Or you can bite the bullet and pick up an HD camera.

Here's my setup this year...
Kodak Zi6 with a 8GB SD card
Good for 720p recording at 60FPS

Found that for about $130... the video we've shot around the office is gorgeous.
as for the mount, murph and i had a bit of a deal... but that fell through when he began to think about changing his seats. So i just ordered this:

looks identical to the panavice model... and at $9 bux... screw it, i'll give it a try.
even if it is a hong kong knock off, i'll stick to using it inside the car until i determine it's strength.
