PRI 2011: Davis Technologies Measures All Axis of Your Race Car

Reduce Timing During Wheel Stands

Hyperaktive Performance will be the distributor for a simplified version of the meter that solely detects wheel stands and allows the user to custom tailor ignition tables depending on front end lift.

One of the coolest products we saw at PRI had to be Davis Technologies’ all axis sensor. This product, still without a name and in the prototype stage, has the ability to detect exactly what your vehicle is doing through a quarter mile pass. The capabilities of this completely wireless product are virtually limitless:

• Wheel stands can be detected and ignition timing can be pulled depending on the height of the wheel stand
• The sensor can detect left and right turns and a threshold can be established for the amount of acceptable movement.  Think of it as crash detection, if the sensor goes heavily to the right without an equal amount of correction back to the left, a fail safe can be triggered
• Roll over protection can disable the ignition
• Multiple sensors can be installed to detect chassis flex or if a car begins to ‘wiggle’ down track
• Since it is wireless and compact, it will be extremely easy to install

Again, like we said, the capabilities of this sensor is open to the imagination. With the sensor you will get a program that outputs full graphical data on exactly what was going on during the pass. Keep an eye on the Davis Technologies website for the debut of this awesome product.
