Acceleration / GTech

[Barry Tisdale]

What's been your (anybody's) experience w/ GTech as far as accuracy
compared to timed 1/4 mi runs?  Mine turned out to be reading high (fast)
by 0.6 in the 1/4.  First time I ran @ the track, I was a bit disappointed;
13.8sec vs 13.2sec...(:{E

My thoughts on correction - no response to email from the folks @ GTech, BTW.

Would it work to compensate for 'fast' times by offsetting the centerline
of the GTech from the centerline of the car (offset it on the yaw axis
only)?  These things read acceleration in one plane only, so it would seen
that offsetting from the midline would decrease the acceleration the GTech
sees.  The Gtech reads fast by 96% of actual time; SIN of 75° is 0.96 -
would offsetting the midlines by 15° correct for the error?  Here
(Michigan) the tracks are closed, so can't check it till next year.

What do you think?

Thanks - Barry - Sy#26
