Made the first big purchase of the winter. In a few weeks we’ll have a new Racepak system arrive at the house. Gonna spend the winter discovering how it all works and getting it setup/tuned. Its going to take some fabrication work but I think it will be worthwhile because we have always wanted to have access to this kind of data, and now we will have the ability to monitor an entirely new realm of information.
I’ll try to post pictures and other information about the process as we go through installing the hardware on our car. Feels like this kind of stuff puts in the realm of nascar or some of the top sportsman/modified classes. What we do with the data will probably more accurately put us in that category because almost anyone can collect data – its understanding it, wading through it and learning something. In software engineering we call this “data mining”. Learning something from the data that isn’t inherently visible without knowing how to structure and query the data.
