use one for each source. put a multi pole relay somewhere inline w/ each of the video feeds. use the relay to switch off the video signals (not power to the cameras) for a second or two all at once, instant blank reference point in all the videos for syncing later.

That's the recorder I used to use. It generated the image at the top of the thread.
It's terrible for four reasons: It has no monitor, so it's a pain to check if your camera is working or is positioned correctly. It doesn't even have a 'recording' light, so you need to attach a monitor just to see if you're taping. It can only be operated by a remote control, which you have to find a place for in your race car. And finally, it has no battery, so if you turn the car off without re-connecting the monitor to confirm that you've turned off the recorder, you lose everything you've taped. Worse still, it loses the recording if you crash and the power is interrputed, so its 'black box' value is nil.
