This year at speedweek and the world finals the time slips will have the
weather info during your run. Wind speed, direction. temp. hum, baro press
etc.
We tested it at the dry lakes and I saw the read outs on the Bonneville

SCTA to make this happen.See their AD in the Bonneville program.
Just trying to help the racers with a little more data.
