Toy Hauler for long trips. Wife's idea, I just went along with it.
My standard hauler, 21' trailer with four Pitbull restraint plates and a generic front wheel chock + tie eyes in the front. Traded my old car hauler and a bit of money for it. If I'm not staying for a couple of nights, this is what I'll use, pretty hard to hurt it.

I'm TOO lazy for that lol
Is this thread dead? Nobody buys anything anymore?
Anyway, today I got the Qstarz external GPS thing, even tried it driving around---great thing! On a separate note, I was opening TMP at Cayuga on Google Maps as it's really close to home----there's one single cloud in the whole area, and it's just above the road course! WTF?!

Saving my money for track days
I noticed the cloud last year when i was map questing, how convenient
If you use google earth, you can step the satellite photo back to a slightly older day and voila, no cloud!
There may be a way to do it with google maps too, just never messed around with it enough.

Fantastic!
Have you done much "lap timing" in your car with it? With my setup the accuracy is WAY above 0.2 seconds for lap times. I e-mailed the Harry's Lap Timer people to find out the official spec. They said because of dead reckoning the total lap time accuracy is usually +/- 0.020 on 5hz devices (assuming the start/stop line is on a straight). They said sector times are rendered at less resolution due to the CPU power required to calculate dead reckoning on curves, but if the start/stop is on a straight the total lap time will always be rendered at maximum resolution. They said even on a stock 1hz receiver they are able to get +/- 0.10 accuracy!! Freaky

I didn't have time to do lapping tests, but I'll try. For the Trackmaster in Android, here's a bit more info, the authors actually recommend 5hz vs 10hz, and some info about interpolating the positions to get it more accurate: http://trackmaster.trackaroo.com/forums/-/message_boards/message/43468
Very interesting!
I read that you can lock your particular unit at 5hz instead of 10hz if it causes you any issues Yeah, that interpolating they are talking about is dead reckoning

Yep, I'll use it at 5hz as per the recommendations. From the three different apps I have at my disposal for Android (see one of my earlier posts in this thread), I've decided to stick with Trackmaster, so I'll go with what they think is best. Now I can't wait for summer ever more!!!

WTF I had no idea there was a motocross track right there! Does anybody know anything about it?
The CBR125 is ready to go. The CBR250 is rebuilt and repainted (not very well tho). The new bodywork on the R6 should be painted in Feb. Got the new toyhauler all ready to go. New leathers, helemt and boots for the 15 year old in the spring when he has slowed his height growth. RACE licenses in. CSBK Membership in. Just have to register 3 of us for FAST. O and get those sponsorship proposals out.....

CMX races there throughout the year, it's right in the middle of the road course.
I can see two of them.
One is here, right next to the drag strip at the TMP we all know: http://goo.gl/maps/PNt0x
The other is here, just 10km away from TMP: http://goo.gl/maps/x7uMA
According to the website, it's a dirt speedway?! http://www.cayugamotorspeedway.ca/
The dirt track was built WITHOUT a permit, and the township laid down the law. Because they started construction WITHOUT a permit, their application for a permit was automatically denied. They are still exploring the options.
