DwD 0461: Transponders and Several of the Options and Tips We Have Learned

On this episode we talk about the device that many organizations use to keep track of how quick your car is and how many laps you have completed during an event. We also go into the option of owning your own transponders or renting. We then go into the often-argued area of where and how to position and charge your transponder to minimize any potential issues.

Fire Laps

Converts Telemetry Data into Useful Actionable Information Easily and Quickly

GHiT 0452: Fire Laps Converts Telemetry Data into Useful Actionable Information Easily and Quickly

Do you collect data and never use it or have time to use it? Is data analysis almost another job at the track? Fire Laps may be what you need. Quick collection & automatic analysis. Enter “GHiT” and you will get a free 3-months onto your annual membership.

David and Daniel from Fire Laps join us to discuss their new website that Bill is SOOOOO excited to use. Fire Laps allows the input of telemetry data from a wide and growing variety of systems and then uses a ton of advanced algorithms and machine learning to translate the 1’s and 0’s or the “squiggly lines” that we usually get from our very expensive telemetry systems. The software then compares your data with itself and the data of other similar vehicles to formulate a prioritized and actionable series of alternative track lines and pedal inputs to lead to a safer and faster way around the track. So, does Fire Laps lead to faster times? Yes! Does it present the data from multiple systems in a single user-friendly interface? Yes! Can you compare your data to others on the systems, friends and otherwise? Yes! Plus a ton more. The software is growing in capability very quickly and we cannot wait to see what other features will be added in the coming weeks and months.

PS Fire Laps is useful to the “spreadsheet” people out there but may be even more useful to the more visual/artistic drivers and teams.

If this sounds like something that you or your team needs, Fire Laps has provided a code for you. Please enter “GHiT” as your promo code upon registration and you will get a free 3-month extension on your first annual membership.

GHIT 0355: Cameron Conover from Conover Motorsports

Cameron Conover has been working in motorsports for two decades and Conover Motorsports offers sales and service support of the entire RaceCapture portfolio, as well as mechanical support for your vehicle. We worked with Cameron on our two RaceCapture installations and as always, if we can do it, anyone can.

With the recent upgrade in the connectors, it is even easier to install and connect a system and any sensors that you may wish to install into your race car. Some of the capabilities that RaceCapture offers are real time telemetry in both the car and the paddock, as well as the ability to add several options available including real time tire temperature monitoring (up to 16 channels per tire), shift lights, pressure and temperature of any fluid or system, and the ability to message to and from the car when on track. In spite of some of our stumbling explanations (difficult in an audio only environment), the system offers a tremendous amount of capability and is simple to install and use.

If this sounds like something that may help your driving and racing, contact Cameron and tell him GHiT sent you to save you zero dollars, lol.

Dave Mills

Post our AER Race at PittRace

GHIT 0321: Dave Mills Post our AER Race at PittRace

Long sought after guest Dave Mills is finally on the podcast that you may know from his online presence as the Caddy Wrecker. Dave is a long-time racer, rallyist, and was working with the AER team at our race last weekend at PittRace. With so many things to talk about, we try to get a review of Dave’s rally and racing exploits as well as how he saw our race from the tower. We also cover the Flagger system that was in our car that we mistakenly called by another product in our prior race review episode. Please welcome to the podcast guest family. Please excuse any of the internet induced noises and Robot Dave that appears sporadically within the beginning of the episode.

Also, a podcast first, help Dave find a new fun daily driver. Let us know on Instagram, Facebook, or on our email at [email protected].

Highlights for this episode include:

1) Swag bribes work. Looks its Dave!!!

2) Some great tips about looking at what the better teams are doing and learning what they do and what they don’t do, especially in the pits and paddock areas. This literally can be the difference between winning a race and being midfield or worse.

3) Dave has had quite a few unique rally experiences, especially the rally that occurred right as Covid was ramping up early in 2020. He may hold the record for the longest time spent on a Lemons rally. We are also not sure if that is something to be proud of or not.

4) How Dave’s professional experience has helped with the Flagger system that is being used by AER and is being reviewed by several other racing organizations. Hopefully more to follow on this system in an upcoming podcast.

5) We revisit the internet video where one driver missed a vast series of yellow flags. If you missed it, the first video was on VinWiki and the actual rebuttal is available separately.

6) What it is like to be “running” the race vs running in the race.

7) As Dave is our first guest from AER, we go into a brief discussion of the differences between AER and several of the other series we usually discuss. Especially the required pit stops system and some of the technology that the AER series employs in this mostly amateur series.

8) Dave askes for some help in deciding on his next daily driver. A podcast first and perhaps our first public service announcement.

9) Dave’s experience living off grid. Its not for everyone, but he gives some tips and tricks that made it better.
