Dave, I truly don't have a problem with you or anyone else using data acq.
But most Bonneville folks work with cast off engine parts to race, including me
(rods in the #265 car were from a BUSCH engine..........I got them and have
been running them since 1986! They went 300, I can go on). We all have
different
ideas on how to go fast. In the long run preparation seems to be the best for
me. However I disagree that electronics' is not expensive, paying you or
someone like you and getting the hardware would stall 90% of the racers. As for
safety, I hope you learn things you can pass on to those who don't have your
skills. And lastly I know how much prize money I've made over the years setting
records, we truly are amateurs.
Mike
