Default TraqMate purchase March 2007

Hi all,

I was very impressed with the data acquisition discussion at the CVR PCA DE Workshop this past Saturday. I tried a TraqMate system last year that a friend has and was very happy with the way it worked, how you could share data with others, how you could integrate video, etc.

I'm trying to put a few of us together to see if we can try to get a "PCA / RL discount". So, if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll do my best.

I'm not affiliated with TraqMate, plan to buy one, and figured if there were others in the same boat, we could do better as a group.

Admins - please remove the post if this is a problem, or sticky it if you think it's a good idea and a service to our members.

Ron

Edit: Found this camera mount (in case like me you don't have a roll bar) at Amazon for $50...

I'm in.

Santa didn't bring me one. From everything I've compared, this is the easiest, comfortable, value for the money system.

I can share data with friends using the same system, and run virtual races.

I'm in. How soon do you plan to buy? I'd like to get it before the end of this month to use at the Road Atl. club race.

Jeff,

Did I meet you at Chicago Indoor Racing on Sunday? Were you with Shawn Young?

Let me know. My office is in LF, and I grew up there.

Thanks. Sorry for the highjack.

Please count me in too.
I'd opt for the Trqaqmate Complete.
I've been looking for a few months now but everything is at list price.
Thanks for putting this together.

Jeff,

Wish I could! The wife's pregnant with #2, so it'll be limited to the Autobahn Club in April and May, until Driver's Ed at Road America on Memorial Day. How about you?

Mike

Mike, also looking forward to ABCC opening. Most likely after Atlanta will limit to local PCA events like RA, Gingerman, Blackhawk...

BTW congrats on #2.
