Here is my experience...

I have the SoloStorm connectivity package with a GoPro. I used it extensively in 2013 and it is a great program and even more so support was awesome. If data logging is something you are interested in trying, it is a great place to start. I wouldn't dive in too much deeper at the start.

I found that data logging and video took away too much from my concentration and enjoyment. I had messed with data acquisition and video for many years and it started to feel like a job. In 2014, I didn't capture any data or video. I solely focused on course line, car feel, mental replay, competitor feedback, and times.

Data definitely has the potential to make a person and car faster. For me, focusing on my sensory inputs seems to get the job done more effectively. I am confident my car had the setup to potentially win every event I attended this past year. I am not saying my car setup was better only that I had the potential to make up the disparity between my placement in class and first. In the cases where I did not win with similar cars in class, I knew mentally where I had given up time on course that would have allowed me to win. It was a driver issue that I was already aware of and data logging would have only reaffirmed that.
