^ That's a really cool data set up -- jealous!

So I was right about GPS, but not in the joking way I meant it. LOL

If he can't find his way around we will get an in-car radio system so we can yell directions at him.

But we don't anticipate any problems... He has a good deal of experience racing. He did a four day Fast Lane Racing School before competing in the Toyota Celebrity GP at Long Beach. He has also done the Mustang school at Miller Motorsports park, and spends some off time road racing a sport bike.

Funny you should mention GPS, as it is now the system most race sanctioning bodies are looking to convert to for timing and scoring. We (NASA) have been working with Track Mate timing systems at most all of our tracks to build a data base for switching to a GPS timing system in the very near future. At this time we are using an ABM transponder based system with a timing line cut into each tracks start/finish stripe. One way we have been able to use the GPS, is for real time performance testing of our spec class cars, finding out who might be pushing the limits on power to weight and such things!
