You built the rest of the car yourself right? BTW just for the record whar
class car did you build and drive? A more interesting poll would be all the
special contruction guys and how they feel about it. Most better data
acqusition systems will display a warning light for slip already so you
would be inventing something that exists. If you have the data acq system
then you would not only know you had slip you would have a good idea as yto
why. That is my issue as well with allowing slip control this is an
indicator of someone driving over their head or a car that may have some
problems. And slowing down said problems until they are fixed either
mechanically or by changing the driver..

I will consider very stronly about making this a product for 2005 and see if
i can keep it in the $200 range. The everyone will know if their tires are
spinning but not know why. It will be digital as i am not willing to support
an anlog device with a bunch of trim pots to setup and drift around so if
there is an EMP blast you will be out of luck.. lets do it the other way
would there be a hand count at a club meeting and on the net for how many
would put in a purchase order for one? To make it a viable product you need
to sell around 50 and most of my customers already have this information
from data acq.. If there are 400 entries at speedweek at least 25% would
need to be owners..
