Questions on RacePak SC1000

Dale Hulquist · 07-21-2019, 12:58 PM

On my new to me Cobalt, it has an older racepak SC1000 and we are unable to load the software (disc) is it possible that's because the racepak software is circa 1995 and the computer's aren't compatible ? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks Dale H

"You need to hit the logging switch the moment you reach 88 MPH in order to get the 1995 version of the Race Pack to function properly."

Call RACEPAK and talk to Todd. I have the SC1000 and Racepak still has support for it.

I will make that call today and ask for Todd, i was told by another racer that they no longer supported the SC1000. Thx

The latest version of the software can be downloaded. Does the software not work at all or are you unable to transfer a run? If its a transfer issue I might know what your problem is.

I just went through this when I got a new laptop with Windows 10 which is 64 bit. The SC1000 memory card is a 32 bit system and not compatible with newer 64 bit windows. Racepak will try to sell you a 64 bit memory card but its over $300. I'm going to put a logger dash in the car next year so I found a work around for now. I installed a virtual machine on my laptop and run a copy of 32 bit Windows XP just for the SC1000. Works perfectly. The virtual machine software can be found for free and an old copy of windows can be bought off ebay for $10.

Forgot that my Dell (2004) is an XP computer. You can probably find an old Win XP laptop from a Computer repair outfit for $50.
