I did another trackday yesterday, at Taupo (http://maps.google.com/maps/mm?ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=-38.665659,176.144485&spn=0.009014,0.024376&t=h&z=16&om=0), here are some videos from it.
The first one is edited, the first three laps are of a couple guys I know and put the footage in for them. The last lap (starting at about 6:30) is one where I had a bit of a slide (slow motion of slide at end of video).
Then the other two videos are the complete footage of the 4th session.
Heaps of fun! :D

I saw a race from Taupo coming on our Speed Network last night and thought it would be cool to see this track from a different perspective but... it was an off-road rally. :annoy:

:bandit: What camera do you use?
A surveillance CCD bullet camera similar to this:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Sports/Cycling/Other/auction-137187877.htm
recording onto a JXD900 portable media player. I've also made up a microphone with a small amplifier to plug into the audio line-in input for sound. I have had to pull the camera apart and resolder a crystal because of of the leads broke off due to vibration. I've now filled it with silicone sealant so it shouldn't break again, but it's something to be aware of if you try using a security camera on a bike like this. The JXD900 only records at 320x240, but I believe there are other media players (and other security recorder/media player things) that can record line-in input at higher resolution. Or you can also plug it in to a video camera with an av input. If you want a helmet camera though, you're probably better off getting a camera with a wider angle of view because it seems too much like tunnel vision using the standard security camera lense.
The Oregon Scientific ATC2K cameras (http://www.atc2k.com/) look like a simpler, good cheap option. They've only got a cmos chip and I've heard they can be a bit susceptible to vibration affecting battery/sd card contacts, and in some videos I've seen weird wavy affects that are apparently due to vibrations, but I think you can work around those problems.

I have the ATC2K. Haven't been able to test it on my bike yet...

Let us know when you do, that looks like a good, cheap cam to slap on the bike.
