Can We Un-ring The Bell

Oh, I think they would give you yours back.......eventually.

This could get real interesting real fast, unless you plan on getting rid of all the F.I. cars.

Billy, can you explain why you do not like data loggers? After a pass I like to be able to see what my oil pressure was in the lights, the convertor slippage, what the convertor flashed and a couple of other things. It doesn"t make me a better driver, but it might help make the engine last a little longer.

Standing by...

Funny thing, I used my data logger to prove I wasn't doing sneaky things at Indy.....

We do not have or need a grid - we have an ECU ..

BTW - data logging is embedded in the ECU and can be viewed by using the OBD-2 channel.

A result of having a modern day car with current day technology.

Swap out our ECU - I don't think so - sir ...

BTW - we participated in the initial Hellcat testing by MOPAR engineers at a Fontana rental day - hence the Demon with a TB.

Larry close racing either way is what I like. Not sure if I can make Gainesville going to try.

I have a grid. Not crazy about it too many things that can go wrong with it. Wish MSD still made the old digital box.

Ok, I'm quite sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not), but can a stand alone data logger in conjunction with a grid and a digital ignition box NOT be used as a down-track timer (the last I knew, not legal)? If it CAN, then it CAN be used to control timing and fuel (and in some cases throttle control) to give the Racer a desired elapsed time.

I know that this is a big concern for you. How prevalent do you really think it is?

Maybe random review of data by tech would help ease your mind?
