I like the Altronics PC version and I have the handheld unit also that I take to the lanes with me if I think for some reason we might be there a while. I don't have any experience with any of the others.

I posted a thread asking the same question about two months ago. I'm going with Altronics.

Computech, Randy, they make a nice hand held, great service also.

I like my computech but they don’t pay contingencies at all National events. I think that’s something to consider.

If you have a laptop at the track, I would recommend getting Crew Chief Pro software.
I put the data from the weather station, and use Crew Chief Pro to dial your car. Give it a few qualifying, or testing passes to learn your car. It has been almost deadly for my car.

Has not yet taught to drive. SMH

The latest in weather station technology

The PerformAIRE PRO features a custom designed enclosure to maximize airflow and allow for integrated paging capability so system does not require separate antenna cabling. System can page weather data without a personal computer, but also includes RaceWORKS electronic logbook for complete prediction and race information storage.

Any opinions/real world experience on Family Software?

I would also recommend the Performaire PC and Crew Chief Pro. Great support from both vendors.

Computech. Next time you are at a National event take a look and see what's perched on top of the pro trailers, especially Pro Stock.
