Is data really worth it? You be the judge! There are plenty of cars out there with some sort of data system on them. Sadly, the majority of the time it gets used as a fancy dash to replace gauges or used as an over glorified stopwatch. In these cases the expense is questionable. However, even a mode...

Now that the dust has settled from testing & ROs, I got my reference library up to date with the Chassis Newsletters go to http://www.auto-ware.com/techref/lib_index.htm and catch Mark's latest newsletters (part way down the page)

John: Still using that data system as nothing more than a fancy stopwatch? Joe: Here it comes, you know what's next, look out.... it's a sales pitch! John: No really, most people just don't get their money's worth out of a data system, because they use it as a fancy stopwatch. Joe: I don't need that...

10-4 see you there

A basic data system with G force and steering can generate graphics like this example. Did you know that with just a little training, you could look at these squiggly line and immediately say "Oh, the understeer entering turn 5 was because the braking for that corner was mistimed." Learn t...

Just got the latest Mark Ortiz Chassis Newsletter added to the libraray http://www.auto-ware.com/techref/lib_index.htm

Good comments on CV's in this one.

You have likely seen the shameless plugs I post here about my data acq classes (which start again on the 16th). But I wanted to share an email I got from someone in the last class. It reminds me of the joke about the guy who buys a chain saw that comes with a guarantee "if it doesn’t cut twice ...

Got the latest Ortiz Chassis Newsletter added to my online library. Go to http://www.auto-ware.com/techref/lib_index.htm to see this one and the old ones, too. Really great stuff!

When you don't read your data, you don't win races. When you don't win races you start to doubt yourself. When you doubt yourself others will take advantage of you and drive through your line. When others drive through your line $hit happens. Don't let $hit happen, read your data! Hey at least you d...

Probably the next best thing to getting something we already desire, is an unexpected bonus. That is exactly what has happened for many of the people that have attended my Data Acquisition webinars. Granted the webinars cover how to make a graphs on the computer and how to read a wide variety of gra...

Speaking of samless self promotion I'm back to doing my newsletters again. If you would like to be on the mailing list, email me john(at)auto-ware(dot)com. To see a sample go to http://conta.cc/sd1eJ3

You will be hard pressed to find a “bigger bang for the buck” when it comes to more speed than with the data system you already have in the car. It’s just a matter of understanding how to use the software that came with your data system and interpret what the squiggly lines are telling you. Join us ...

Just got the last 2 Mark Ortiz newsletters added to my reference library. Go to http://www.auto-ware.com/techref/lib_index.htm to see them (part way down the page) great alignment & handling stuff this time.

Not being in a hurry is great. Watching a used CentralMachniery 13x40 with 15hrs on Craigs List. He's been coming down and is now down to $1600. If he goes to 14 next week I might jump.

The Advanced session filled up quickly and have most of the Original sessions. However, we still have room for folks with AiM's RaceStudio systems on Wednesday's. Email me or go to http://www.auto-ware.com/webinar_home.html to sign up for those spots.

You may have seen my article in the August Sportscar magazine (page 36) on data acquisition. If you liked the story please let Philip at the magazine know, if you would like to see different tech stories please let me know. On the Data Acq front there is more info available via live webinars. Starti...

Thanks Guys, I've looked into these little machines and discovered some have issues with the controlers and have plastic gears. However, this one caught my eye http://www.micromark.com/MicroLux-7x16- ... ,9615.html and wanted to see what other folks have used.

I'm looking to get a mini lathe and maybe a mini mill. Wanted to know what you may have or suggest. Lathe could be in the 7X12 or 7X16 range and the mill roughly 8x4x7 travel.



Thanx
