1) New Demo Videos (.wmv movie files) for Product Training We've added a new page to our website where we have posted some demonstration movie files (.wmv files) of various products and programs. These files will show several features of the product, and are an excellent way to:

- Decide if you want to purchase a product.

- Learn how to use a product you have already purchased.

Visit this page by clicking on this link: http://www.performancetrends.com/movie_file_demos.htm

We're very anxious to hear suggestions on products and features you would like demo'd this way. We also would like comments on how the movies helped or didn't help you, or any problems you had viewing the movies.  Email us at feedback@performancetrends.com

2) Circle Track Log Book Scheduled for March 15 Release We don't like to announce products before we've released them, but here goes anyway. We're releasing the Circle Track Log Book on March 15, before the racing season for most parts of the country. As usual, it will have features not found in other log books, like letting the user customize the inputs, letting you communicate with our latest Circle Track Analyzer v3.5 for calculated inputs like Camber Gain, roll center location and motion, front to rear roll couple, etc, and more. Click on this link for a overview: http://www.performancetrends.com/Circle_Track_Log_Book.htm Click on this link for a demo movie of some of its features: http://www.performancetrends.com/movie_file_demos.htm

Cost for the CT Log Book is $149.95. (Sorry, we don't have a demo program ready for release, but obviously will have it by March 15.)

3) New RPM Input for Black Box II and DataMite II We've got a new sensor for engine RPM input for our Black Box II and DataMite II data loggers. This one clips on the low voltage Primary wire to the ignition coil (not the plug wire). These have proven to work well on some modern, "coil on plug" motorcycle/ATV engines. This sensor can also be used on fuel injection lines to get an Engine RPM signal. Click here for a picture: http://www.performancetrends.com/DatamitePositionPictures.htm#DTM_IPU_For_Primary The sensor plugs into the 4 pin Engine RPM connector designed for our current DTM-IPU (inductive pickup box) and costs $45, part number BB2-IPUP.
