Wanted B&G Racing Weather Station
Wanted- I would like to find an old B&G Racing Weather Station. They were run by the late Super Comp racer Bruce Huggard, came in a hard case with a programmed Sharp calculator, temp./humidity gauge and aircraft altimeter. Looking for one in good, working condition. Please PM me.

Re: Wanted B&G Racing Weather Station
The calculator is the issue to find a good one.
I had mine go south a couple of years ago. I posted here and found a couple of the calculators for ET prediction. Bruce made several versions depending on the years in which they were produced. I still use mine and it has served me well for many years now. When my calculator went bad I searched the internet and found a place on the east coast that would try to repair it. They would not make any promises on getting it repaired and they were a little pricy just to look at it. I do not remember anything else about the repair service. I may have kept some of the info in the race trailer. If you can not come up with anything else other than a repair of a broken one let me know and I will look to see if I can find the old info on repairs. I still have one broken one here next to the computer. Good physical shape just gives errors when you try to calculate. Good luck in your search.

Re: Wanted B&G Racing Weather Station
I have that complete kit, but like yours the calculator died years ago and at the time I was not able to find a replacement.
For quite a while I used the instruments with a program called "Air Density" that I ran on a lap top. Recently my wife bought me a Computech RaceAir Pro and I like it a lot. |

We traded the calculator in for about $125 about 15 years ago to Computech.
