Alright so I am getting an HMC40 soon and want to film and import in 720 60p but I don't see and 720 60p under the project properties? Is there a way I can achieve this with making custom project properties? How will this change after rendering? Is there a way to do it without trans-coding? Or am I going to have to settle for 720 30p?

What Vegas are you using? Vegas Pro can do 720/60p and has templates for it. It can do any frame rate you like.
Just use the 30p template and change the frame rate to 59.94. Save it as your own template.
What do I need to do for rendering?
Same thing.
You'd want 60p if you want to keep the motion cadence and "live" look of it.

David,in general is it always good to have your project property the same as your output (render) format? so i shoot 60p should render 60p ..but if i shoot 60p for 24p (slow down) , project properties and final render are 24p even though i shot at 60p , did i get the idea right?thanks
The better way to think about it is that you should shoot for what you want the project to be, and set the timeline accordingly.
If you want a cinematic, 24p product, shoot 24p. Use a 24p project. If you're shooting some 60p for slo-mo purposes for that 24p project, that's fine; that's how overcranking works -- slowing a faster frame rate down to the project frame rate.
So, decide which frame rate fits your project best (from an artistic standpoint), shoot that, edit as that, and do any over/undercranking in that timeline.
I guess, in this case, even though the output apparently has to be 30p (though I don't know that Vimeo or YouTube don't actually alow 60i or 60p, but perhaps 30p is all you can do), the intent is to shoot skating, involving a lot of slo-mo when you don't know ahead of time what you're going to slow down. So, I guess in that case, shooting 60p and working in a 30p project makes some sense. But that's a pretty rare and specialized case.
Also, if a pro crew were going to do it with those delivery requirements, chances are, the primary footage would all be shot 30p and one camera would be shooting 60p specifically for slo-mo purposes. But if all you have is one camera, well, you can't really do that.
