Default Those w/ G-Meters or Data Acquisition

What peak G's are you seeing? I've been playing around with a G-Tech Pro RR the last 2 events and just wanted to see how my readings compare. I've seen one spike as high as 1.39Gs lateral, but 1.30 seems to be a consistent max. I need to go buy a Serial to USB adapter so I can download the runs and check out my G circle etc.

Anybody else...

Be sure to buy that USB adapter and download the runs.....then you could teach me how to use it!!!!!
Seriously, I have never figured out how to interpret the data on their software.

I'll have to look at my accel specs again... I thought I remembered much higher than that (~450rwhp) but lower on braking. I notice your left and right readings have a large disparity... was it zeroed well before the run? On the run I saw 1.39 it was only one way, so I wonder if these really really high spikes are false readings? I saw plenty of 1.28-1.32 peak readings both directions though so I am fairly confident in ~1.30 as an approx peak.

PS- looking at the log times that's road course right? Somewhere in the manual it says its not accurate on banked turns.

My DL1 data from MidOhio shows peaks in one direction of 1.34 and -1.28 the other way. Can't remember if that was with V710 or Goodyears.

It was "zero"ed and it was on a road course(Infinion) and it was thru the carousel(banked) on V710's. TJ, if you want to use my serial to USB adapter and my GTech software, just let me know; I have got to be down in Campbell on Monday.

I used one of those for a while and you're in the ball park. I'm now using the DL1 and with my T1 car, I see up to about 1.5, but a lot depends on the track, temp, and of course set up. I'm using the Kumho V710s.

On 100% flat ground 1.30 is pretty decent then, I take it? My car needs some pretty serious susp. work though (well, really just shocks but it needs them in a major way):



This was NOT the result of a quick/rough yank on the wheel, this was a steady turn, albeit decreasing radius.

Sydney, thanks for the offer but I have the software and access to more serial to usb adapters than I know what to do with... I just need to get around to it.
