Hey guys and gals,
In my continuing quest to tune and develop the loose nut behind the steering wheel I have been considering an in car timer/performance logger of some type for instant feedback during continuous lapping track days. In addition to pure seat time I think there is a lot more potential for improved lap times here than by tweaking my motor or suspension at this point. It seems these range a great deal in features and price from about $200-$3000 and beyond. Any you like or ones I should avoid? The ability to do a pit review afterward looks interesting. Compatibility with other track timing systems would also be a plus. Infrared, GPS, AMB, OBDII, accellerometer, it boggles the mind!
Track wish list for 2009: Fontana, Streets, Big Willow, Buttonwillow 13, Laguna Seca.
Driving goals: Weekend warrior about 6 events per year in a mix of Auto X, DE and Time Trials. Looking for an occasional Class win and possible top 20 finish on a good day.
Driving experience: 2 years Auto X/DE with SDR and GPX, PCA-SDR Performance driving school grad, 5 years Moto X /GP racing, 20 years Multihull Yacht Racing, 1 year Kart racing.
I would appreciate your thoughts,
Smilin' Dave
