Donnie,

Your experience with comparing drivers with the DL1 is essentially exactly the same as what Miles Beam and I experienced when we codrove his Vette in 2005 and compared GEEZ runs after the events. We then had ideas for driver improvement for the next event.

Ditto for what I expect I could realistically do between runs and that is with just one driver. Other than a quick check of revs on my recording tach to help with borderline gear shifting situations, I do as you do.

That said, I wonder if the MQGPS display would allow a quick identification of relatively low g's in a particular corner where I "whimped out" but wasn't sure it was necessary to do so? If so, for me that might be the biggest potential value at a major event.

I'm looking for an excuse to spend some of my tight budget on a MQGPS but so far it looks like more seat time and/or more sets of new tires would be a better investment . . . :(


Dick, if you are going to be in Greenville, I would love for you to try out my MaxQ.

I love helping people spend money.

Ryan,

I appreciate the offer! It would be very interesting to both of us, I'm sure, to compare MQGPS data from our cars. Especially since on my first runs I'll probably be lucky to match Miata times. :oops:

Edit to change comment on mounting:

The best place to mount the MQGPS unit will be to a small platform that I can fabricate and attach to the top of the roll hoop. You can velcro, bungee, or ??? the MQGPS to the platform. The pocket PC can be wrapped in a small towel and wedged between my leg and the bodywork, just like I do now with the GEEZ related Palm Pilot.
