Aim Racing Products

In OurA place of numbers, data, information, engines,speed and a huge amount of passion. Your world.

How Satellites can help you in improving your performances.

The GPS Technology Track mapping drivingline analysis

Every lap you drive is mapped with greatprecision, which not only allows you to cor-relate data to track position, but also overlaymaps to analyze driving lines. Know exactlywhere you are gaining or losing time.

Both integrated GPS ( like in SOLO, EVO4,SmartyCam) or expansion modules ( GPS05)that can be connected to our loggers anddash loggers through CAN bus share thesame technology for offering a fast and pre-cise tool for analyzing your performances.

Lap and split times with nobeacon

Forget your old infrared optical transmitterand use the reliable GPS technology for get-ting lap times. A wide database with coordinates of the fi-nish lines of a huge number of tracks helpyou in avoiding boring configurations. Up to 200 finish lines accepted, with auto-matic recognization of the track where youare racing.

Predictive lap times

A time prediction resolved down to thehundredth of a second - and incredibly ac-curate. Optionally you can display a real-time +/-from your best lap time.

Data analysis

Plot your data over time or distance, xyplots, track position, create histograms andmore. Overlay any number of laps from thesame test of different tests. Correlate yourdata to track position.

Track overlay with on board cameraSmartyCam

Last but not least, you will have at the trackoverlay in your movies, with precise positionof your car on the track for a perfect, easy,immediate analysis of your performances.

100’s of manufacturers, 500 different ECUs, thousands of channels ina Click..

The ECU Connection If you have an ECU, we can assure youthat the possibilities that your ECU thatsupplies data, will be compatible toconnect to an Aim system and with twoonly wires, you can acquire an enor-mous amount of data.

The driver’s software database develo-ped by our technicians has been testedwith over 500 different ECUs, 100 diffe-rent manufacturers, many thousands ofchannels available in a click. This is the result of 10 years of develop-ment and testing.

The ongoing maintenance and upda-ting of all possible protocols is a conti-nuous operation in which we havededicated to two highly qualified te-chnicians.

So the result is any ECU you have, if con-nectable, you can retrieve data withinminutes, without adding sensors, witha simple connection cable and, for eachECU, we developed documentation,drawings and tutorials to make connec-tion always easier.

However, if you have an ECU from a ma-nufacturer that is not listed by us, ourtechnicians can analyse the data streamand in a very short time develop a soft-ware driver for the connection of yourECU to our Aim range of systems.

In 2011 alone, more than 1000 proto-cols were processed and updated witha new driver for connection of the ma-nufacturers ECU to our Aim system. This is an ongoing process and Aim willalways be at the forefront of ensuringECU Connections are compatible withour systems.

Aim systems support a growing num-ber of different protocols - CAN, RS232,Kline and OBDII.

A time prediction resolved down to thehundredth of a second - and incrediblyaccurate.

Optionally you can display a real-time+/- from your best lap time.

Data Logger

The Solo records your lap times alongwith speed, track position, lateral g-for-ces, linear g-forces, yaw rate, heading,slope, satellite reception, and batteryvoltage. Each channel recorded at a frequencyof 10-times per second (10 Hz).

All tests are stored with a time and datestamp for on-screen review or PC dow-nload for further analysis. Download your Solo data to the inclu-ded full version of RaceStudio2, ourprofessional data analysis software.

Lap Data Review at Your Fingertips

Hit the Solo's memory button whenyour session is over and up pops yourbest three lap times, along with sessiondata of duration and distance.

Hit MEM again and you get a full list ofyour lap times along with max straightspeed and minimum corner speed foreach lap.

Solo Gps LapTimer

A third data review page shows a histo-gram view of your lap times where youcan identify patterns of driving or thetires coming in - or going away.

Data Analysis

Plot your Solo data over time or di-stance, xy plots, track position, createhistograms and more.

Overlay any number of laps from thesame test of different tests. Correlate your data to track position.

Track Mapping Driving Line Analysis

Every lap you drive is mapped withgreat precision, which not only allowsyou to correlate data to track position,but also overlay maps to analyze dri-ving lines. Know exactly where you are gaining orlosing time.

Split Times

One of the most useful tools for analy-zing driver performance and consi-

stency is to break up the track into se-veral sections and analyze sector ti-ming and standard deviation within atest session.

The Solo puts that powerful tool oneclick away on your PC.

The track is automatically split up intostraights and corners and a table provi-ded with sector times for each andevery lap. It also strings together your “theoreti-cal best” lap, combining all your bestsectors.

The SoloDL will connect to over 300supported ECU models, including OEMCAN, OBDII, and the most advancedthird party ECU's in motorsports.

Thus giving you a Solo with all theabove features, plus the ability to re-cord up to 100 additional channels co-ming from your ECU.

The SoloDL will also seemlessly inter-face with our popular SmartyCam videorecording with real-time data overlay.

SoloDL

Performance Tests

1/8th mile, 1/4 mile, and 0-60 MPH per-formance test modes are built in toevery Solo.Queue the Solo up for a 1/4 mile passand from a standing start mash thepedal and keep it straight for 1320 feet- on a closed circuit or where permissi-ble by law of course.

The Solo's smart looping memory re-cords a few seconds of staging, thepass, and about three seconds of coastdown. Immediately after the pass, the Solo di-splay provides you with a time slip,complete with your 60' time, 330', 1/8thmile split and speed, 1000', and your 1/4mile ET with speed at the finish line. A similar abbreviated time slip is displa-yed for 1/8th mile tests.

The venerable 0-60 MPH test ben-chmark is just as easy to run, and theon-screen review shows your 0-60 time,the distance traveled to achieve 60MPH, along with the 0-20 and 0-40MPH splits and respective distances.

No Beacon

GPS lap timing means not having toplace a beacon trackside for lap times.It also means there’s no beacon to for-get.

There’s twenty-four lap timing satellitesorbiting the earth - always on, and nobatteries to replace

Big Bold Display

The Solo displays your lap times innumbers just under an inch in size,even aging eyes have no problem se-eing them.

Your Power or Mine

The Solo's internal lithium-ion batterywill keep the Solo running for about 4hours with the backlight on.

Otherwise, a 12V connection to vehiclepower keeps it charged and running offthe vehicles battery.

A Radical Experience

Radical It now holds several circuit out-right laprecords, including the highòy soughtprize of production car record at theNurburgring Nordschleife.

Radical has produced more than 1000cars starting in 1997. The original idea, still at the base of Ra-dical philosophy, was very simple: a li-ghtweight sportcar that utilizedsuperbike technology, faster than a su-percar.

But Radical philosophy extends muchwider than just the cars: when the foun-ders, Mick Hyde and Phil Abbott lookedat the various race series available inthe UK, none provided the type of ra-cing they knew their customers wouldcrave. So, they simply started their own, andbecame the first manufacturer to bringlong format, double header enduranceracing for the club racer, and provideda comprehensive spares and technicalsupport at every event.

The Clubsport model established thecompany in 1997 and is still raced withenthusiasm all around the world. Itssuccess was instantaneous and the fullgrids soon led to the continuous impro-vement of the car, adding wings, morepower and wider slick.

This very successful recipe has alsobeen exported overseas, with many ofRadical’s distributors now runningevents inspired and guided by the UKchampionship model.

Radical’s single-marque for overallchampionship honours, by contestingwith similar-specification Radicals intheir own class. This allows drivers toenter competitively with an SR4 CS, be-fore progressing to an SR3 RS or SR8 RX.

In 2005 Radical launched SR8, with a380 bhp Powertec RPV8 engine.

Seat Leon And SuperCopa Challenge

The German series began in 2004, andcontinues to run today.

Sebastian Stahl won the first edition,beating Peter Terting, who went on torace in the World Touring Car Cham-pionship for SEAT the following year.

In Italy, the Trofeo León Supercopabegan in 2008 as part of the Campio-nato Italiano Turismo Endurance series,and is run by SEAT Motorsport Italia.

The French Supercopa is being run forthe first time in 2010, and is organisedby Oreca. It is supporting the FFSA GTChampionship.

The SEAT León Supercopa is a one-make racing series, organised by SEATSport, the motorsport division of Spa-nish car manufacturer SEAT.

It uses a modified version of the SEATLeón road car, and championships arecurrently run in Spain, Germany, Italyand France. Championships have previously beenrun in the United Kingdom, Turkey andHungary.

León Supercopa is the most powerfulLeón racing version in the SEAT range,the 240 hp TFSI, on which SEAT Sporthas carried out intensive work with theaim of producing a car with featuresthat are as similar as possible to thoseof the cars participating in the WTCC. Asa result, Supercopa is retained as thefastest single-make touring car race inEurope.SEAT introduced the championship tothe UK in 2003 under the name SEATCupra Championship, as a support se-ries for the British Touring Car Cham-pionship, which SEAT Sport UK wouldgo on to enter in 2004.

The series was very popular and produ-ced future touring car winners such asRob Huff, James Pickford and Mat Jack-son.

RaceStudio2 is a powerful, quick, easy to usesoftware tool that will help you analyse re-corded data. This is extremely useful when tuning yourrace vehicle. Race Studio 2 offers you all thefunctionality you will need during yourtrack time testing or racing.

Lap and split times report

The Lap and Split times report is the firststep to analyse how the driver is perfor-ming. A simple table collects the informationabout the tests selected, and can be viewedboth in digit format and in histogram for-mat.

Graphs and histograms

Graphs will enable you to visualise instantlyif any vehicle parameter is incorrect. RaceStudio2 enables you to:

• View time/space graphs, • Zoom in to highlight any detail, • Have an overview of selected laps or of a whole test.

• Comparison of tests or each driversperformance

• View the position of the vehicle on the track map and more,

• Measures show max and min values, • Positioning of all graphs selected areauto scaling and can be positioned inthe fastest way possible.

For more than ten years, RaceStudio2 has been the most popular soft-ware used in the world of motor sport.RaceStudio2 is constantly being updated and improved, it is recom-mended by professional data technicians as well as by amateur racingenthusiasts. .

Maps

Coming from the GPS,or obtained throughspecific algorithms, the track map is essen-tial to correlate the measures and to under-stand what is happening to your vehicle.

You can compare the different lines sho-wing a measure in different colours accor-ding to its value in any point or position ofthe track.

Math channels

If the information coming from the sensorsare not enough, you can add “channels”using the math formulas, which will showthe maximum flexibility of the software andcalculate power in an instant.

Someone can believe that the ECU con-quered motor sport, but this is not thecase.

How many engines still need a passio-nate and careful carburettor and/or jettuning, a steady research of the perfectbalance.

This balance depends on who knowshow many elements, like temperature,humidity, environment pressure …. Thebalance changes continuously throu-ghout the day.

We look for this balance feeling the en-gine, vibrating with it, loving it.

In all these situations, electronic looksa little like an intruder, so cold, aseptic,objective. Who can passionate about a series ofdigits on a display… who can passio-nate about a Lambda probe…. ever try,no way.

Where is the smell of burned motor oil,electronic has to take two steps back.But she can help, can give valuable in-formation, can help you saving time,can remove some wrong impressions.

Because, if it is true that nothing can beso satisfactory as interpreting an en-gine, it is also true that nothing can beso frustrating as losing a lot of variables.

It is in these situations that a lambdacontroller, that records – a fixed timesin a second – the precise air/fuel ratio,the proximity or not to the stoichiome-tric point, that tells you at the end if theengine is too fat or too lean in eachpoint of the truck, for each value of theengine, in each throttle position; it is inthese situations, we were saying, that

Recently, his son Thomas officially ente-red in Memotec, after a good expe-rience as kart racer and Formula 3mechanic and some more years of acti-vity in the engine field.

Danke Ulli.

A lot of time passed by since when Ul-rich Mesch installed his first Aim My-Chron 1 to the kart of his friend’s son,Sebastian Vettel when he was a youngkid… Ulrich ( “Ulli”, as he is worldwideknown) was at that time a technical re-sponsible in a big car company, withdecades of experience in autronic andwith a terrible passion for karting andmotorsport.

After a while, it was 1996, he decidedto found his own company, memotec,that quickly became stable part of theGerman Motorsport Environment.

Ulli has a beautiful office in his town,Eppingen, but, we can say, it is totallyuseless: Ulli lives on the track. Nobody knows how many weekendshe has spent at Nürburgring in the lastyears, or at Oschersleben or at Hocken-heimring.

“I love tracks” he says “ and I love themagic atmosphere that sometimes ap-pears in the evening, after the tests,when I can spend some time with myfriends around a fire, eating krauten, aglass of good beer in our hands anddealing with engines and data”.

The number of events that Ulli has at-tended, offering his help to everybody,during 2011, is astonishing:The whole Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup,the whole VLN Endurance Champion-ship at Nürburgring, the Porsche SportsCup and the marvellous adventure ofthe 24 hours of Nürburgring, one of the

GT Steering Wheel

GT Steering Wheel

At first glance, a steering wheel appearsto be a simple, rather crude implementembodying a causal relationship. Youturn the steering wheel, and as expectedthe car turns.

Look closer. Beyond its pedestrian title,the steering wheel both represents andis so much more to a driver. It is the li-ghtning rod between the racer and theroad. It provides feedback and empo-wers the driver to make critical decisionswhile demanding millisecond responses.A racer’s time-clock; it is the first and lastthing touched before leaving the cock-pit. It is the scythe by which a racer’s fateis sown. Sitting behind it means that the-re’s still track ahead, and hanging it upmeans that your time has passed.

Out of respect and to pay homage to thepeerless relationship between driver andcar, we introduce our first GT SteeringWheel. Available in two distinct interpre-tations: either 320mm or 350mm; eachwheel has been crafted with a unique in-tended expression and experience. Sober and all-business, the 320mm GTSteering Wheel is a minimalist, conceivedout of the need for simplistic elegance.Just as serious with a hint of flare, the

350mm GT Steering Wheel is a gascon,combining tech and tenacity.Forged from carbon steel, our new GTSteering Wheels are handcrafted, handpolished, and assembled by hand. Bybonding the finest chamois leather tothe carefully articulated steel frame, weensure rigidity without sacrificing grip orcomfort.

Melding form and function, an integra-ted shift light array crowns the wheel be-hind a carbon fiber foreground. Furtherdrawing you in, the high-contrast, beau-tifully backlit display has been purposedto provide actionable driver-informationwith configurable elements and alarmlights. Integrated multi-function buttonspromote vigilant navigation and opera-tive execution.

Subtle unification, our GT Steering Wheelshelters dual carbon fiber paddle shifters.Explicitly engineered for precision, thepaddle shift mechanism allows you todefine the feedback force for exact shiftsevery time.

Building this wheel was certainly a laborof love for our engineers and designers.We hope that you enjoy it.

Spada Design Project

Codatronca

A Spadaconcept design, by Paolo, Er-cole Spada and Domiziano Boschi, andbuilt by Spadavetturesport, CodatroncaSpider has been strongly wished byAznom founder, Marcello Meregalli, agentleman driver with an ancient anddeep passion for motorsport.

Codatronca Spider is an evolution ofthe Coupe, developed and produced in2008, and, we can say, is even more ex-treme.

Marcello so describes his last dream car:“Codatronca has an aluminium tubechassis, covered with a light body infiber and carbonfiber.

I asked for a car that reminds the atmo-sphere of the golden age of the SportItalian car, of the early sixties.

The shape, the internal, absolutely mi-nimal, the frontal glass, almost absent,everything reminds to an ancestral re-lationship with Motorsport.But the engine is high technology: it isa 7 liter V8 with two turbocompressorsRotrex that generate a power of 720 cvwith a torque of 90 kgm. The gear, use-less to say, is manual.

The acceleration is astonishing: 0-100km/h in first gear in about 3 seconds

Codatronca has been designed forbeing produced in just one sample, butthe success it has had all around Europehas convinced Marcello to start the pro-duction of a small serie.

Gps05 Module

Lightweight and waterproof , GPS05has shown to be a fast, compact and re-liable GPS receiver.

It includes in a single unit both receiverand antenna and can easily be connec-ted through CAN bus to an MXL or to aMyChron 4.

GPS05 takes a redesigned GPS Mana-ger, which allows to set track start/fi-nish lines and splits and manage a hugedatabase of the most important tracksof the world, in order to easily gat laptimes and split times in a complete au-tomatic way.

In data Analysis, after the test, you canstudy the circuit map (fig.1), monitoringyour position, speed and accelerationsat any point of the track.

This enables you to analyze your perfor-mance and understand your mistakes(fig.2 clearly displays a mistake in a chi-cane due to late braking): a hugeamount of data, quite important to im-prove your driving skills and fine tuneyour car!

Last but not least, you can easily exportall these information to Google Earth®:your performances on the track revie-wed through real, stunning images.

Take the guess work out tuning your carburettor.

Engine management technology hascome a long way.

With the advancement of sophisticatedfuel injection systems and pioneeringcarburetion techniques, tuning has be-come more and more precise. However, the fact still remains thatwhether you’re working with a carbure-ted or injected system, Lambda and air-to-fuel ratios (AFR) are critical tosuccess. Tuners and engine builders everywhereunderstand that achieving the “magic”air-to-fuel ratio can be a challenge; ittakes specific testing, track time, and abit of luck.

Adding further complexity, proper en-

gine setup and jetting requires that hu-midity, temperature, and air pressureare all accounted for; unfortunately, anyand all of these variables can change asfast as most of us can adjust for them. And then there is the black-art ofexhaust gas temperature interpreta-tion. Everyone in the paddock seems to havean extremely well formulated guess atwhat might be the right EGT value.

Really...what does it all mean?! The LCU-One Lambda and air-to-fuelmodule was designed to help takesome of the guess work out of tuning.Using patented Bosch wide-band sen-sor technology, the LCU-One accuratelymonitors Lambda and air-to-fuel ratios

Self-calibrating circuitry allows the LCU-One to compensate for changes in tem-perature, altitude, and sensorconditions in real-time, making this theultimate tuner tool.

With race-inspired styling, finished inblack anodised billet aluminium, theLCU-One is equipped to handle the ri-gors of any track environment. The LCU-One Lambda and air-to-fuelmodule can connect to most any of ourcurrent data logging systems either viaour integrated high-speed CAN bus, ora single 0-5V analog channel.

Available in three models (CAN, analog,or CAN+analog), the LCU-One is desi-gned to fit your data system and tuningneeds. Visit our On-track sessions page to learnmore about how the LCU-One can getyou on your way to more effective tu-ning. www.aim-sportline.com

Tc- Hub allows you to connect via CANbus four additional thermocouples toAim loggers: you can of course usemore Tc-Hubs to have all desired tem-perature sensors at your disposal.

With Tc-Hub you can keep regularlyunder control exhaust gas temperatureof each cylinder in addition to water, oiland head temperatures.

Moreover, thanks to Tc-Hub, wires ove-rall is reduced to the minimum.

Its aluminium chassis makes it resistantand waterproof.

When you have to connect many slavemodules, you need a Data-Hub, theCAN connection multiplier that worksas an interface between an Aim loggerand its peripheral equipments, helpingyou in minimizing wires overall.

Another core principle is that Speedand Laptimes are the “money channels”.With motorsports being a performancebased activity these are the criticalmeasures.

However, all the rest of the availabledata is critical and there to show us whythe speed and laptimes got better andprovide more information on how toget faster yet. If you do not know “why” you went fa-ster, “how” to continue to improve isjust a guess.”

Aim training sessions are very interac-tive with real examples of real data. Ourseminars are not just lectures, Roger in-vites questions and comments from at-tendees and has found that groupdiscussion of the examples helps eve-rybody understand the informationmore fully.

During past seminars, attendees haveshared how they have put what they le-arned into action to help their racingprograms.

“I had a Father and Son kart team at-tend a seminar earlier this year and Ispent some time with them looking attheir data. I was able to identify a few things intheir data that showed that the driverwas creating a corner entry problem. I discussed it with them and explainedwhat to look for in the data and how hecould fix the driving issue.

Since 2001, Aim has been organizingand training seminars as requested bydealers and users. In the past year we decided to expandthe program and to expand it evenmore in 2012.

Roger Caddell is our certified trainer inNorth America. Roger has over 28 yearsof training experience and 36 years ofmotorsports experience. He considers himself very lucky that heis able to combine 2 passions in his life;motorsports and teaching. Here Roger explains what he finds mostrewarding about working with Aim cu-stomers:

“Teaching racers is special because theyare enthusiastic about their sport andalways want to improve. From my end, there is a special satisfac-tion when discussing racing data withsomebody and helping them under-stand how to use the information to en-hance their racing experience.”

“I always try to help our customers un-derstand that Data Acquisition willallow them to determine what the ve-hicle is doing, when it is doing it andwhy it is doing it. Beyond that and even more importan-tly, is the driver reacting to what the ve-hicle is doing or is the driver creatingthe vehicle reaction? This is critical to know so the correctchanges can be made to improve per-formance.

Just a couple of days later I received anemail that said “Roger, you had a briefdiscussion with my son and told himsome things. We went to the track and he worked onwhatever you told him. We gained the .4 of a second we havebeen struggling like crazy to find allyear. One little piece of information madethe difference. The race was the nextday on Sunday. We qualified second then won both thefinal and the pre-final. This was our first Rotax win ever and weare excited. We now understand how valuable atool data can be.” Success stories likethis is what I do this for!”

Seminars are just one way Aim is provi-ding valuable training, Web based se-minars, called Webinars are also beingorganized and will be weekly sessionson a consistent day and time, probablyin the evening. These will be short and focused ses-sions of about 30 minutes and recordedfor replay.

Also a series of short video tutorials areavailable at www.aim-sportline.com/vi-deotutorials and are typically 10 min orless and focused on specific functionsin our software.

MyChron4

MyChron4

To tell the story of the MyChron system,is like recounting the very history andprogression of Aim.

More than a brand, the MyChron nameover the last 15 years has come to re-present technological innovation, qua-lity, customer service beyond compare,and perhaps most importantly, a toolfor continuous improvement.

MyChrons have been sold in more than38 countries and are the preferred datatool of more than 75,000 racers acrossthe globe.The product that truly made data ac-cessible for the first time in kart racingwas the MyChron2. A groundbreaking technology for ra-cers, tuners, and driving coaches, theMyChron2 took the guess work out ofdriver and setup diagnosis. Racers no longer had to worry about re-counting every-single detail while ontrack.

Lap times, maximum RPMs, temperatu-res, speed, all of it was logged andready for review. The days of ‘driving by the seat of yourpants’ was over. Having a MyChron2data system meant that greater focuscould be allocated to actually drivingthe kart, which in turn meant going fa-ster.

With the rise in data accessibility, dri-vers began demanding more from theirdata logging systems, and so the pro-duct evolved once more.The MyChron3 was simple to use, com-pact, rugged, and revolutionary. The idea was to create a real-time feed-back tool so that racers could makechanges quickly while on track andthen fully digest the particulars in thepaddock once they downloaded thedata.

The system featured a large graphicaldisplay, brilliant shift and alarm lights,

gear indication, the first-of-its-kind bac-klight, more memory capacity than itpredecessors, and USB download capa-bilities.

The MyChron3 was the first data log-ging system that brought the look andfeel of Formula One to karting. Look down the starting grid at any karttrack and chances are you’ll see racersproudly dawning their MyChron3 sy-stems 10 years later.

Building on the success and momen-tum of the MyChron3 to fuel innova-tion, we went back to the drawingboard.

With a clean-sheet and a fairly radicalidea, the MyChron4 was born.

Fashioned on a platform entirely dedi-cated to modularity, the MyChron4’sController Area Network (CAN) data bustechnology allowed racers to customizetheir data acquisition systems specifi-cally for their needs.

Beyond scalability, the MyChron4 withits modular design brought new te-chnologies to the race track. Sensors like GPS track mapping and laptiming, pedal position, and Lambda/air-to-fuel are now within reach of anyracer.

To tell the story of Aim is to describe theman who helped start it all, “MyChron”Mike McKnight.

It was 1996...Aim was just getting star-ted. At that time, the Aim empire consi-sted of basically a shared phone (Dial #and 1 for the grocery department, #and 2 for Aim Sportsystems) and a smallwork area in the retired meat depar-tment of a discount grocery store.

Mike said it best,“We knew that it wasgoing to take some work; a lot of work.In the end, we weren’t looking for theeasy road, just the right one.” In the firstyear, AiM sold a total of 40 systems; no-thing to brag about. In fact, sales barely covered gas (andthat’s when it was still cheap) for thetrackside support truck; a borrowedJeep Comanche with a MyChron stickeron the rear slider.

The data acquisition game was burgeo-ning and already the competition wasgetting ripe with other players.

Equipped with nothing more than apair of Doc Martens, an untried pitch,and a backpack full of black-magic elec-tronics with claims to make racers gofaster, Mike hit the track.

The plan of attack was simple: providecustomer-service like no one had everseen, let as many people try it as possi-ble, and be there (really be there) at thetrack and in the pits when questionscame up.

MychronMcKnight

Mike

Michael Jaynes, president and foundingprincipal,“No one else could have doneit--Mike was at the gates when theyopened and didn’t leave until every kartwas covered up for the night.

That’s what it took to get our foot in thedoor, so that’s what he did.” Anyone who has ever been to a racetrack knows that it isn’t a place whereany Joe-Blow with something to sellcan just walk in and set up shop. The track is a tight-knit community offriends and family; you have to get aninvite to be a part of this world. It was going to take something special;at the time data was new and wasn’t yetproven as a necessary tool in kart racingat that level.

Not knowing exactly how best to bringthis exciting new technology to themasses, Mike did what he does best--heshowed up, helped out, and he cared.Olga Garibaldo, one of the original Aimteam, recounts, “The customer alwaysfelt like they truly mattered when Mikewas there.

He made it a point to walk around andsay ‘hi’ to everyone by name.” Mikefound his “in.”

This guy could remember even the fi-nest details about his customers; fromhow Bill’s son Tommy did in the pointslast year in Cadet, to making sure thateveryone who didn’t get MyChron stic-kers at the last race got them this race.Walking through the pits of any kart

track with Mike was like walking downpit road at Indy with Tom Carnegie asyour guide. It was customer relationship manage-ment (CRM) at its crudest and mostpure form, and it worked. Mike quickly became the face of dataacquisition at the kart track. As “MyChron” Mike’s prominence roseto new heights, so too did sales. Threeand half pairs of Doc Martens and75,000 MyChrons later, the rest as theysay, is history.

Over the years, the MyChron name hascome to stand for more than just a qua-lity lap timer and data solution; it repre-sents the hard work and perseveranceof the man who now shares its name,“MyChron” Mike McKnight.

MyChron4 660

MyChron4 660

MyChron4 660 is the most powerfuldata logger and gauge specificallydesigned for jr. drag racing, and allowsa better post run review thanks to thenewest graphical display.

Being a modular system, MyChron4 660not only records Engine RPM, Jack ShaftRPM, Wheel Speed in MPH, Exhaust GasTemperature, Cylinder Head Tempera-ture, CVT, Overdrive Percentage and Linear Acceleration: thanks to additio-nal modules like LCU-ONE lambda con-troller it can also record lambda values,assuring the best carburetion and tu-ning of your engine.

In a word, the best performance of yourjr. dragster.All legal by current NHRA rules.

The MPH is calculated by jack shaft RPMand final ratio, CVT and overdrive per-centage are product of engine RPM andjack shaft RPM, linear g-force is a deri-vative of wheel speed or rate of accele-ration.Each channel is recorded 50 times persecond (50Hz).

It offers a lot of features for betterevaluating the behaviour of your JrDragster:

Steady Stage

MyChron4 660 has an RPM display sta-bilizer: automatically invoked below5000 RPM, the RPM stabilizer will slowand average the engine RPM on the di-splay.

The result is a much more steady andconsistent number for your carburetortuning.

Real Time Display

In the real time view the Engine RPM'sare displayed as large digital numbers,smooth and steady.You can also see both your cylinderhead temperature and your exhaustgas temperature, labeledCHT, EGT and lambda value.

Post Run Review

Pressing a single button, you'll get yourmaximum engine RPM, maximum jackshaft RPM,maximum temperatures, total recordedrun time and much more. And , as an evolution vs. MyChron3 660 , you’ll get a clearest gra-phical display of RPM and jack shaft, aswell as Exhaust Gas and Cylinder HeadTemperatures, and even CVT and Over-drive channels.

All data are easily downloadable toyour PC via USB connection thanks toDataKey, a compact interface that col-lects data from MyChron4 660 and tran-sfers them to the PC.
