You probably want something in between your work and freeboard. This intermediary will provide data for freeboard to poll and would also be where you transmit to the pit area.
I wish I had the time to work through your instructable, the actual build looks really cool and if you could transmit to the pit you could work towards having an analysis waiting when you get back from each run. For autocross this could make the difference between 1st and 2nd.
Finally, in freeboard.datasources.js it is multiplying the timeout by 1000. You could make your own version of this 'datasource plugin' that just takes the raw timeout as milliseconds instead of assuming it is in seconds; that should speed up polling.

You are correct. I put a lot of stuff about what is incomplete in there. I did this mostly because this is for a contest with a deadline. You kind of have to post before the end date to get "favorited" and get pageviews and all that to win. Usually when I post something it is more complete (like this:
