Same with braking starting point- if I can do 60-0 in ~120' I should be able to do 120-60 mph in same 120' so I can feel a little more confident moving deeper into the foot markers lap over lap. On this visit to WG definately felt was slowing too early & had plenty more brake could have gotten into prior to turns but this is what track time is all about- learnig the car and getting a better understanding of its performance and limits (mine too). The other thing that surprised me was consistency of lap time- when not in traffic had 5 laps each session that within ~ second range. The data feedback from this entry level system is very good for a weekend track guy like me and think it will help me improve. Just havin a fun time
I'd have to invest some more energy in researching how to even get the ODBII stuff to work on mine ... I know it can be done using Track Addict, just have to figure it out ... I am clueless when it comes to that stuff.

But I think it would be worth the effort ... like Dwnshft alluded to, more data = better.
