Anyone use this yet? http://www.gtechpro.com/index.html
I was wondering if it was accurate or not. I had the chance to use it this weekend and it seemed like if it was accurate, it has alot of information on it.
Oh and I have another question so instead of whoring up the theards.....
How come if you spin off the line your MPH is higher? I have heard that from alot of people, but no one really ever explained to me why. Because I seem to be getting some odd MPH when I run my car at the track.
Thanks

The MPH is probably lower at the track because its not measured with radar/laser but by the amount of time it takes to finish the last 66 ft. When I record my runs the slip would say 113 but A-tap would read 117.

The way it was explained to me for the higher mph spinning is the you're actually on the track longer but moving at the same velocity so it sort of trickes the timing computers
I could be wrong but it makes a little sense to me
