We used Altronic in the INDY Car racing for 5 years with no problems and YES the % of oxygen is really important as it doesn't take much of change to see a performance change when it drops or goes up.

I use one of those simple weather info units,a Skymaster SM-28 by Speedtech.It cost me $150.It doesn't predict but if you log all your runs,I write the info on every time ticket,all you need to do is reference back to the info from a previous run at the same track and it puts you real close for a dial in.Did it last year.No time trial,retrieved info and ran dead on.
I have a new Kestral,gives more info,but I'm struggling to get it down right.When I do I think it will be as good if not better than the Skymaster.The Kestral holds the info where you have to write the #s down on paper with the Skymaster.Two good low buck options.

I like the Alta-Lab folks and the the prediction program they sell written by Jay Costales. I suggest talking with them and discussing options.

Let me rephrase cause I made it sound confusing. I want a trailer based system powered by my laptop. I don't want a handheld as I have a Performaire handheld right now I am looking to sell. Thanks!

Don Higgins at Crew Chief sells all brands of trailer based stations and will tell you the advantages of each. They are good people.

To add my 2 cents ,in 05 I bought a used Altronics trailer weather station and then added the crew chief pro-no paging option. The results have been rather exceptional. The predictions-once you put "good" runs in- has made my predictions within 2-3 thou every run. I looked into the laptop powered and decided against it as we leave the laptop in the living quarters and lock it when we run. If you have a way to" protect "your laptop in the trailer -that may work for you.
Good luck, Lyn |
