For years, I used a Kestrel and either logged by hand or used a HP correction spreadsheet that I created to help with predictions. I rarely did anything with the information I was capturing.
Since 2015 I’ve been using an Altalab trailer weather station with Crew Chief Pro software. I mostly use it for predictions when running NHRA events, but when bracket racing I always enter my runs so I have a larger database to study and try to refine the prediction formulas. Blessing and a curse. You can refine the predictions but you can also get lost. Anyway, I love that the software is constantly capturing and storing the weather so I don’t need to input it.
At the time, the Altalab seemed to be the best available. Lately it seems that the Computech Race Air Cloud is pretty popular, and I believe includes their own prediction software. I don’t have any experience with their stuff so can’t comment further.
If you take your racing seriously, I’d strongly recommend a trailer-based unit.

Im running class racing around the midwest. Something for changing conditions, I dont think I would trust the ET predictor. A guy can trust that too much I think.
