Comcast offered a sample last year by giving three or four free in
car cams on race day. I believe it was Daytona. As I recall the in cars were
not HD :-(
Maybe that will change this year. Saddam swinging was filmed with a Sony HD
handi-cam I heard,( God rest his soul.), so it seems the technology would
allow HD in car.

Yea, the technology is there as far as the camera, but I would think that BW
issues in transmission might be the restricting factor. I am not well versed
in HD transmission, so that is just a guess.
