I'm going to buy a station, but It would be interesting to run a comparison between the 2 for awhile and see how accurate the site is. It is 2025. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's spot on.

Give Matt a call at Computech, they are great people with great customer service.

He can provide you with weather, data logging and logbook prediction software all from one source.

Racepak for the data logger. buy from PDS. tech help from there.

airdensityonline.com is remarkably accurate for every track we go to

RPM Performance is by far the simplest and most reliable, imo.
If you buy new, you can install the system, run the wires to the termination points, mark the lengths and send back. They will put the connectors on and return to you.
If you have any issues, they can remote into your laptop and assist with configuration, and reconfiguration, whenever needed.

I did this while helping someone dial their car in Phoenix this past Spring. I would get online data, and he would text me screen shots of a friend's weather station. The online stuff was directionally correct, but was not completely in lock step with data taken from the track property.

Wind is usually the #1 disruptor in the predictions, and you can't just trust what your computer says it is worth in ET but I want data from on-site and referenced to the track orientation.

That makes perfect sense. As I said, I'm going to buy one. Have so much going on at the moment that I haven't made a final decision. Actually planning on spending some time at the track with a friend of mine soon and learning how he uses his station. Thank you for the input.

I dont have a data logger but would like to get one eventually. The RPM system seems like a good value.
I do have a weather station. I have the Perform aire PC system a have Crew Chief Pro software running it. CCP is incredibly accurate and is fairly easy to use. I use the text feature to have the weather info sent to my phone. No pager needed but you do need cellular internet for it to work. Get with Don Higgins at the track and he can get you all set up.
