In car video cameras...
I have a Aiptek HD+ and a Contour HD that are mounted together facing fore/aft opposite each other. Both take excellent video of which I haven't uploaded any yet, but you can find videos of them everywhere. I bought the Aiptek + 8gb SD card for about $130 and I bought the Contour HD with a 16GB micro SD card for $250. I also bought an IO Port mount of a friend a few years back for change.
Here is my setup.

If you are interested in video and data, check out www.Race-Keeper.com. Installs in 15-30 minutes, no holes, up to 4 cameras, plus data.
I use a Kodak Playsport which has worked great and shoots up to 1080p HD and it's in expensive. The Go Pro is a nice unit also.
Here is a clip from Infineon shot with the Kodak Playsport from my Audi. I've heard some people say NASA doesn't allow suction cup window mounts but I've used mine on 3 NASA events last year without any issue's.

I've been using the GoPro HD Cam for a couple of years now. The latest version has been a significant enhancement from the previous model and has been very reliable and creates great videos.
I also have a ChaseCam but the video quality is much less than the GoPro. I just purchased a Sony HD Handycam that links to the new HD Traqmate system and will be trying it for the first time this weekend at a track event.
Here are some of my videos that were taken with either the ChaseCam or GoPro: http://www.youtube.com/user/speedncontrol

That's Mike Skeen in front of my in the Corvette...
I would go this route if your looking for something basic and have a iphone 4 already. You can couple it with the tomtom mount and harrys lap timer app for about $100 and have HD video with overlays of every other lap. I used the lap timer at nelson ledges a few weeks ago and it worked great, havent shot video yet since I did not have a proper mount for my car.
I really like the GoPro's versatility and size. I mount mine inverted on the rear window. I'm still in the learning phases at the track, so this gives me the best vantage point for a lot of things I'm doing (incorrectly lol) in the car, on the track. I didn't see any vids mounted this way. Take a look:

Yeah I use my gopro mounted on my rollcage, basically the same location. I was going to use the back window inverted before I got my rollcage mount but didnt like the vantage point it was giving me plus it is nearly impossible to get to the camera with a cage in the car. Its even hard for me to access my camera when its mounted on my cage to turn it on and off so I dont kill the battery.

Here is why you shouldn't mount your camera to your helmet haha..Just installed a roll bar (cab.) so next time out I'll try a few different areas like roll bar or windshield

Quick car, too! Matter of fact, the interior looks an aweful lot like the interior of an SN-95 Mustang.
Btw I had some trouble trying to embed the vid obviously, copied the YouTube embed link and got nothing. What's the trick to embed?
