Mini Lap Timer with Delta Indicator

[scottjk]

I ran my first race weekend at Pacific Raceways during Spring Sprints this past week in my new to me 1967 Russell Alexis.

The only thing I really miss is having some type of Delta indication and lap timer. I'm a bit large for the cockpit so I sit slightly tall. Glancing at the center of the steering wheel isn't an ideal option, although when I get my bead seat done it may drop me enough to have a better viewing angle.

In other sports I'm involved with we have toyed around with digital goggle displays. I searched the net today and didn't see anything similar for auto racing.

What solutions have you Formula Ford (small cockpit) guys found?

Congrats on the first outing!! Sovren is a great group to run with, you might want to check the rules on digital displays. Not quite vintage, or just use the cars around you as a delta.

Best of luck enjoy the new adventure!

I ended up using an AIM with a cutoff wheel. First I mounted it on the wheel, then I just played around with mounting options and got it back on the car.

I had similar problems, my position in the car made it such that I was having to look around the wheel to see the gauges, I could only get the tach positioned so I could read it.

The good thing about the digital dashes is the ability to keep much better tabs on engine health.
