GoPro Users
All you GoPro users out there...
Is this the correct one to buy for use on the track? Camera: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/GoPro+-+...&skuId=3350312 And this so it sticks to the car: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/GoPro---...&skuId=1004731 Are these two things all I need? Thanks

I believe so. There is a GoPro Motorsports Edition that is perfect for automotive use. I would offer to help but we are in the process of setting up our account with GoPro and it takes for freaking ever.

Yeah, I'd get the motorsports edition, mainly because it gives you more mounts. The suction one is ok, but there are others that are better in some situations. I had one mounted on the center dash.

I bought mine directly through GoPro way back when.
Looked, and it runs 299.99. I also recommend getting the LCD screen as well so you can preview stuff on the fly. I also carry 2 batteries.

Honestly having used both, I would look into the Contour ROAM. That is what I use now and I mount it on my motorcycle helmet. The video quality is REALLY good...imo every bit as good as the Gopro but at half the price. Right now it's going for $140 on Amazon. I also bought a Panavise car mount for it that ran for 20 bucks. Trust me...it's every bit as good for half the price.
