Thanks Michael!! We're thrilled to be a part of the Northern Class Nationals, and the person who wins the closest heads up battle will have definitely worked hard to earn it, and should be rewarded. We're looking forward to the race!

AUTO METER has stepped up its support even more for the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals, putting up a new Auto Meter Ultimate DL Tach (#6895) for the Stock and Super Stock Main Event winners - a retail value of $800!

That's just one of many new offerings in the evolution of tachs and data recorders. Read on to learn more...




Test Less. Guess Less. Spend Less. Win More...with new Ultimate Playback tachometers from Auto Meter!

January 2014, Sycamore, IL - In 1995, Auto Meter revolutionized drag racing with the introduction of the Ultimate Playback tachometer, which featured patented technology allowing the user to record and compare up to 4 passes of engine RPM data at 100 samples per second, providing essential and accessible performance information in the hands of sportsman racers in a familiar and easy to use package.

In 2001, Auto Meter introduced Generation 3 Ultimate II tachometers, adding innovative Tach Facts Software and the ability to record and compare both engine and driveshaft RPM on either the tach itself or a PC.

These critical instruments have helped racers fine tune and diagnose clutch and converter strategies, nail their shift points, and improve their launch consistency for nearly 20 years.

Today, Auto Meter is prepared to shock and awe the drag racing world again with the launch of the next generation of the legendary Ultimate tachometer line.

Meet the Ultimate III and the Ultimate DL, which place the power of more advanced Data Acquistion systems in an affordable, convenient, and compact package.

Ultimate III feature highlights include:
-30% weight reduction over Ultimate II tachometers
-High Accuracy, competition grade air core meter movement capable of matching the most powerful engines. Achieving 0 to 10,000 RPM in a mere 333 milliseconds!
-4 stage shift light control
-Availability in Black or Silver Dial faces of 9k and 11k RPM
-Advanced LED backlighting for improved visibility, reduced electrical system draw, and resistance to vibration and tire shake.
-New and improved ARMS (automatic recording memory start) system for worry free driver operation
-Engine and driveshaft RPM recording at 100 samples per second with up to 60 seconds of available memory
-Playback data right on the tach itself, or easily download it to award winning DataPro analysis software. Yes, the same DataPro software found on professional STACK Motorsports data acquisition systems!
-Onboard tri-axis accelerometer to provide advanced data about vehicle acceleration and launch, working intelligently with DataPro software to pin point not only when, but where particular events occurred on the track!.
-Backed by contingency in NHRA, IHRA, NMCA, and NMRA, a 1 year competition warranty, and Auto Meter's legendary customer service and race support team

More advanced users should consider the Ultimate DL (DataLogger) which adds to your information arsenal by providing connections for, and ability to record Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio and Pressure channel data to the Ultimate III features above, which can help you diagnose fuel delivery issues, improve power tuning, and raise MPH in the traps.

Put simply, Ultimate III and Ultimate DL tachometers from Auto Meter provide all the essential tools needed to dial in your setup minus the complication or expense.

Perhaps the best news of all? Even with all the improvements and new functions, they will actually cost you less than the previous Ultimate models, with a starting price of just $599 for the Ultimate III!

Good looking flyer, Michael. 10 bucks a day for spectators is much better than I was expecting, for all we'll get in return. Is there a 3 day pass available? Just planning ahead.

Regular admission price for Spectators and Crew is $15. We're producing thousands of $5-off discount coupons that will be distributed in various ways. They will be at the Detroit Autorama next week, the Motor City Hot Rod & Drag Racing Expo March 22-23, then later in the JEGS retail stores in Columbus, Grandpa's Garage in Springfield, OH, and more. There will be similar coupons running in the April issue of the PaperMINT coupon circular, reaching 300,000 homes in the Columbus market.

Each spectator flyer will have three $5-Off coupons on it, one for each day. People are more than welcome to pick up multiple flyers for family and friends. (Difference between "Crew" and "Spectator" is that spectators will not have Restricted Area wristbands) There's no particular 'weekend pass' discount. Rather than charge $20/day and then start discounting for 2-day or 3-day passes, we decided to keep it straightforward and simple at $15/day. Crew can purchase their restricted area wristband covering all three days at the gate on Thursday or Friday.

The discount program is intended to reach an outside spectator audience. Whatcha think, can we put 3,000 people/day in the stands?
