Dunno if you folks with systems currently have every seen any anomolies that might indicate if this is important or not. Just musing, but I could imagine a scenario where you were in a drift in which the corner speed was caclulated to be lower than on another lap, but your top speed on the following straight was higher which might possibly indicate that the wheel speed sensor logging was in error. It would seem to me that if you're really trying to shave tenths accurate speed on corner exit is an important consideration. I assume this could be mitigated by dual (or more) speed sensors.

I just spoke with AIM and they say the Video overlay box and the additional channel expansion box should be available in January. They will be showing both at the PRI show.
Although last PRI show I saw the MXL and it ended up not being available until April or something like that. Hopefully these CAN expansion boxes will be available earlier. Also, hopefully they have designed it so the CAN channels cascade so you can hook up multiple CAN expansion boxes....
