ok, I can see using a minicamera, it would seem to be a lot easier 
as well... strap the camera down somewhere in the car, run the 
attachment to your helmet..  
two questions.  do you just buy an attachment for a normal, super 
8, camera?  or do you have to buy a mini camera?  
what about just mounting it to the front of the car, that could be an 
interesting shot... or one on each side of the car...

Mini-camera taped to the side of your helmet.  Autocross has 
smaller
corners than road-racing (at least, it's supposed to).  The problem
with putting a camera on the car is that you get a shot of the car
going straight, then a lateral blur, then the car car going straight
again.  Not very instructive.

Camera on helmet follows your head at you look ahead (you DO 
look
ahead, don't you?) and captures the  autocross experience much 
better
than a camera which is nailed to a car.
