Weather stations

pbp1 · 07-20-2014, 07:16 PM

I have a question for experienced sportsman racers and bracket racers. In your experience, how well does your weather station predict your performance?

I have an old TAG hand held that hits mind very close unless it is very humid. Doesn't allow enough for high humidity.

I do not claim to be very experienced, but I use crew chief pro software and a Altronics PC weather station. For example, the last race I attended we had a cross wind and tail wind. The prediction was dead on what the car ran.

There are some that work pretty well and I surely can't imagine going to the track without one, particularly if you make a change to your car.

I have an older performaire. I have a 25 run data base programmed in it. I do not add or subtract runs. I track +- on the prediction. Then base my dial in against the prediction. Its like any other tool in your tool box. It takes some practice to get used to using it. Wind and crazy swings in weather can make it difficult to come up with a good prediction.

It also depends on which way you are tuned for AFR.
