New at Summit Racing: AiM Sports Data Acquisition

No matter what kind of racing you do, Summit Racing has the AiM Sports Data Acquisition tools to help you collect the vital information you need to improve your performance – and win more often. Here are some of the AiM Sports products available now at Summit Racing: Solo Sports GPS Lap Timer

The Solo Sports uses GPS to record your lap times – no trackside beacon needed. It provides you with a real-time display of your lap, and also can do predictive lap timing that is accurate to one-hundredth of a second.

Hit the Solo’s memory button when your session is over you’ll see your three best lap times. Hit the button again and you get a full list of your lap times along with straight speed and corner speed data for each lap. You can even bring up a histogram view of lap times to help identify driving patterns.

The Solo Sports also records speed, track position, lateral g-forces, linear g-forces, yaw rate, heading, and slope 10 times per second. All tests are stored with a time and date stamp for on-screen review or PC download for further analysis.Other features include:

• Plot data over time or distance, xy plots, and track position

• Correlate data to track position with overlay maps to analyze driving lines

• Track section analysis provides sector times for each lap

• Quarter mile performance test modes including 60- and 330-foot times, 1/8 and 1/4 mile ET and top speed (may not be legal – check with sanctioning body first)

• 0-60 MPH performance test mode

• Power with internal lithium-ion rechargeable battery or 12 volt vehicle power

 

The MXL Strada is ideal for dual-purpose street / track day cars. It functions as a digital dash and gauge display, and can interface with many popular OEM and aftermarket ECUs to stream data. The MXL Strada uses state of the art algorithms to sample, calculate, and display RPM, lap time, gear position, speed, temperatures and more. It also stores lap time data for on-board replay. Use AiM Sport’s optional full harness to connect additional sensors. For example, you can connect a wheel speed sensor and get continuous readings on your speed as you drive.
