I'll help!

I've been reading the McBeath book and it really needs updating, plus we could a DVD with it with in-car to help people relate what they are seeing in the data to the on-track.

I found Simon McBeath's book to be "OK", but really nothing more than the obvious. What really needs to be written is something more advanced, along the lines of the stuff you and I discussed in detail last weekend, the same kinda stuff I do with others at the track.

Problem is, that takes time. And, unless I can justify writing a book as a way to attract sponsorship....hmmm....(sounds of gears meshing...and not stripping...)

Sorry to add another level of complexity to your life

I was bored and reading up on DAQs, I like what I saw with the DL1, read a bunch of old posts, came accross yours, and decided to call you out

I figure I'll end up with a DL1, just not this year or next. $$$ is going elsewhere. Maybe late next year, I'll need the help, but probably '09.

Actually, my thought was that something needs to be written starts with the basics for people like myself can understand. I've looked at a few DA books, and just couldn't grasp it. Once those topics are covered, then go on to discuss the more advanced stuff.

Very, very true. Writing it is the easy part.

Dave and Jeremy, let's discuss this. I suggest we could leverage the "Go Ahead..." branding, our writing skills, and knowledge into something useful...

Damn you, Rob...
