Hi Gary - I just emailed you a data file from Miller Motorsports Park. You can get the "Chart" application to look at the data here:

The Chart software takes some getting used to, not completely intuitive. let me know if you have questions.

Cheers,

Jeff

I'm going to give it a try, I like the output (from the data you sent). WOW what a great track that is!! I just E-Sniped a Dell X51 624mz on Ebay (hope it wasn't a Rennlister I beat out).. so i'm out less than $600 for the whole thing and have a PDA to play with too! I also happen to have a 1GB SD card laying around.. that should do it. Any pictures of how/where you mounted it?

Now I wonder if the GPS antenna would be seen by Navigation software... like this - http://www.handster.com/software.php...for=Axim%20X51


Thanks!
Gary

Yeah, MMP is a great track - huge, technical and completely safe

I'll try to take some pictures next week, but my car interior is still in pieces right now. I used the proclip, which grabs onto the PDA and then clips onto the dash. You need the PDA-grabber and then the dash attachment. For your model, you will need this:

And this:

Or you can just tape the PDA to your dash

Velcro will definitely work, you just have to find the right spot so that you can see the PDA display while driving. That's a little tough with our dashboard shape.

That's how i did it - just a flat plate over the "radio delete" and the tray below it... Then a piece of velcro on top of that... Works perfectly

I guess I need to get rid of my radio. Ever since I took out all the speakers it's just not the same

Gary, you're going to need to attach your right side driver's net through the radio opening and secure to the fire wall to meet NASA specs. The radio delete plate is history.

I have Kirkey seats, I believe I can bolt on a "Hans compliant" head restraint to meet NASA rules.. besides, the Data recorder is going in the turbo! Going to the CVR DE meeting in Southbury, CT tomorrow?
