He needs to get this in front of road racers like:
SCCA forums
Improved touring forums
NASA Forums
and so on and so forth.
It IS true that the probe is better, but for the purposes of setting up your camber to maximize the tread you can set your camera to also pickup the screen and watch play back of surface temps across the tread immediately after corner exit and onto the straight. For folks who don't have a helper in the Hot-Pits to get a probe in the tire immediately after coming off track this can be useful.
This could also provide:
- Realtime data of surface temps due to cornering load as it compares to camber and tire pressure; AKA tire carcass roll.
- The amount of cooling the surface sees from corner exit (hottest), down the straight to just before the next braking zone (coldest).
- Driver insight in real time such that if the driver has a car that struggles with tire temps (too hot) he can easily use this realtime data to help drive in a manner to reduce over heating the tires and/or track which corners or braking zones are the absolute hardest and then adjust only in those areas to minimize a loss in lap time while "'maintaining" the tires. This could be an effective tool in Endurance racing.
The OP should post up a booth at the 25 hour of Thunderhill race and see if he gets any takers. Needs to be a sold a complete package, a "boxed solution". Nothing hokey-pokey.
