    I recommend the go pro hero as well. I race dirt bikes as well as drag cars. I can't tell you how impressed I am with the product. The camera comes with all the hardware needed to install in your car. I recommend the 8 gig storage card, purchased separately.

    Check out my on board footage.

    I am not too sure. I never had the chance to try it. Guess it depends how well your track is lit. The video of myn was shot in an overcast sky.

    I bouhgt 10 of them at the PRI Show and now I am a dealer. They need 10 candle power or more. But because they are High Def the passing lights do not bother the quaility of the video. I have sold out and have 10 more coming in a day or so. PM for a price in you need one.

    Sorry I have been out.

    Here is the info on the camera.

    Record up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 hours total on a 32GB SD card (not included).
    The camera can also shoot automatic 5MP photos at 2/5/10/30 and 60 second intervals during your drive or ride, hands free. Press the shutter button once and record up to 2.5 hours of poster-print quality photos.

    •1 HD HERO Camera (5 megapixel)
    •1 Rechargable 1100 mAh Lithium-Ion Battery
    •1 Waterproof Quick-Release Housing (180’/60 m)
    •3 Flat, 3M™ Adhesive Mounts
    •2 Curved, 3M™ Adhesive Mounts
    •2 Quick-Release Buckles
    •1 Vertical Surface “J-Hook” Buckle
    •1 Suction Cup Mount
    •1 Three-Way Pivoting Side Arm Assembly
    •1 USB Cable
    •1 Component Video (HDTV) Cable
    •1 Composite Video + Audio Out Cable
    •Warranty: One Year

    Professional Quality, Full HD Video
    1080p, 960p, and 720p in 30 and 60 fps (720p). The HD HERO line of cameras offers three different HD resolutions, giving you three filming modes to capture the best angles for any given activity:

    •1080p: 1920x1080 True HD featuring a 127º angle of view, 30 fps, and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio
    •960p: 1280x960 Ultra Wide and Tall HD featuring a 170º angle of view, 30 fps, and 4:3 aspect ratio. See more of the action above and below than widescreen16:9 resolutions can show.
    •720p: 1280x720 Ultra Wide HD featuring a 170º angle of view, both 30 and 60 fps, and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio

    5MP Photos, Automatically

    HD HERO cameras can shoot hands-free, 5 megapixel photos automatically at 2 / 5 / 10 / 30 / and 60 second intervals until the batteries die or the SD card is full (2.5 hours). Or set it to single shot, triple shot, or self timer for more traditional photo taking.

    Audio Excellence

    We’ve invested more in the HD HERO camera's sound system than most companies spend on their entire camera development. You’ll only be hearing the sounds of your sport, not the howl of the wind. How? Obsessive audio engineering and an understanding that good sound is as important as good video.

    Retail Price is $299.00
    Rollbar mounts $25.00 (will need bar size)
    PM for ITA special pricing

    camera

    just got the lower level camera Motorsports HERO Wide pn gmhw5170 for 149.00 at pep boys, just to try it and see if its worth it. this is the non hd, but a wide lens type. im not impressed with the low level light permormance in the house. but am going to try it this weekend at barona on the car to see how it works. let u know. super small and comes with a ton of accessories. the only thing they dont tell you, is this one will work with windows xp. the hd type cameras need vista or windows 7. something to think about. the low level uses aaa batteries, the hd uses a battery pack. this one appears to be a basic starter level camera without a ton of options, which makes sense the hd are about 2x the price. we will have our niver stickers also at the race. thanks for doing those .

    I got my Hero at a cartoys in Greeley Colorado. Sorry if yours never carried them. I have a few in-car shots with my camera come in low light and some in the middle of the day. I AM happy with the results of my camera. It was fairly cheap and i can switch it from my funny car to my motocross helmet with no problem.

    My only problem is that i forget to turn it off and the battery does not last. Then I only get part of the run.

    The 8 gig memory card is nice touch. Had several runs on it before I deleted them.

    Do what you want buy what you want but it all comes down to personal preference right?
