Guys, since it’s near the end, I can’t save spots for anyone. If you want a spot just send payment asap. Asking me if there are spots left is wasting time. Just send payment to marktay87@hotmail.com via EMT asap.
I check my emails often and I update this thread often as well.
In the end, it’s first come first serve.
Right now, there are 4 unpaid spots.
At this point in time, I would not even ask if there are spots, I’d send the EMT and then either call or txt me to let me know that it has been sent. If you payment comes in after those 4 spots, I will refund your payment.
Question for you all. If I were to purchase a GPS-based Data Aquisition device would anyone be interested in “renting” it? It just suction cups to the windshield and uses the 12v in your car for power. Data is aquired via accelerometers/g-meters and GPS.
It gives you things like cornering G’s, lap times accurate to 0.1 seconds, extremely accurate speed (10 readings per second) and other goodies.
I’m not sure if I should grab one or not, I’ve always wanted one… but I can’t really justify it for my own needs… i dont even have a car that is track worthy right now.
cost would be like… i dont know, maybe 20 per hour?
i know, my cousin gonna kill me. he really was pushing me to go. i was supposed to pay on the weekend. me and my lazy ass.
how does the unit receive the telemetry? via laptop or does the unit have a display? what do they cost? you have so many hook ups, they can’t be that expensive.
im not sure what you are asking… all the data is aquired via gps (and other internal sensors) and then it has data logging that can be pulled to a computer (it logs in real time to an SD card). see pic below for a sample… it plots the course and stuff, its sexy.
it does have a screen that you can customize to show you speed, g’s, a compass and some other jazz
this version that i would probably get would cost only $500, the next model up also includes the ability to display and log your slip angle which is pretty sexy also but for my needs unnecessary.
I’ve been looking at one of those as well. They are super cool and I’ve seen some of the more expensive models that record height as well and will produce an accurate 3d map of the track.
If finances weren’t killing me then I would rent one. Or I would take photos of your car for you with my camera kit. Or let you point and laugh at my ride without getting upset… ok… I pretty much expect people to point and laugh so I don’t get upset but I would like to see my track times.
