IMHO the Racelogic VBox HD2 is the best system available. Very flexible and easy to use, overlays data on the video as it is being recorded, and great analysis software.

The original post included the following.......

" I've no interest in investing a ton of money on this setup.... just something fun and easy that'll allow me to share. "

What part of the racelogic system is NOT a ton of money?

Two or more of the regions I run with in the north east will not let you run a smart-phone suction cupped in the car, and no suction device in or outside the car. Check with your regions rules. These 2 require Bolted mounts for the device and a lanyard as a secondary restraint. This really limits what you can use and eliminates using a Smart-phone, since there is no method to hard mount (bolt) them. That will limit you to a GoPro with some data device $400-$1000, a Garmin Virb XE auto racing bundle $499, Aim smarty cam and ODBII bridge $699- $1299. Or one of the other options already mentioned, but without the use of a smart-phone your option shrink fast and the cost goes up. Unfortunately these rule are getting more widely used since several phones have slipped out of their holders and hit instructors bounce around the floor of a car, etc. use your imagination.

Thank you, everyone, for your replies. Especially Steve; that's a very exhaustive and helpful analysis.

This gave me a ton to consider. I'll keep you posted on what I end up with.

I use track addict, that has video capability and its iphone compatible. I don't use it on the track but it has free drive mode which is fun to use, got me in trouble with the wife she saw my over 200Kmh run to work. Was a holiday no traffic but that is a jail time offense here.
