The limiting factor on the GoPro is the battery. 2.5 hours on one charge.
I use a 32GB SD card and record on 1080p. But you can get about 4.5 hours on the card.
If you have a way to charge it between runs...then you can go a while. They have a battery backpack to extend the time...or you can tie it into car power. I have not done either.

GoPro
Storage
* Memory: SD card (SDHC), up to 32GB capacity (not included)
* Average recording times (using 32GB SD card):
o 1080p (30 fps): 4h 21m
32GB SD Memory Card US$ 79.99
Now I see why this GoPro is so inexpensive... $29 rollbar mount, $79 for memory card...

it's too bad the gopro cannot zoom. When mounted on the rear roll bar it seems too far away from the action. too much unwanted scenery

Sony in lowest quality setting:

OK, so then you are not tied to Sony. If you don't mind a few hundred extre dollars, I still go for the regular recorders, but the GoPro is the value here.
Traqmate sucks, but if you get someone to help you set it up and merge data with video it might work most of the time. I know some used ones for sale. The less I bitch about it the better it seems to work, so you might want to give it a try, IF you have a local to help you out.
