1)  WISSOTTA to Tech with Quick Cam Checker  We've had lots of interest in our Quick Cam Checker or QCC, especially from track tech inspectors.  Now, in the June 2018 Speedway Illustrated it is announced that WISSOTTA will be using the QCC as part of their tech inspection.  WISSOTTA is also using the 604 Crate Motor Bracket to provide even better accuracy by measuring directly on the pushrods.

Because of all the interest, we've been doing further development on the QCC to produce the best quality measurements possible.  We have learned a lot and now the system provides these new features:

• You can adjust the cylinder pressure "threshold" for the types of cylinder pressure you are likely to encounter.  Cranking the motor with the rockers installed and measuring what the valve is doing produces very different cylinder pressures than with the rockers removed and measuring on the pushrods.  We now have a better default pressure threshold setting for both situations, but also added the ability to adjust it for more unusual situations.
• We are using a slightly different pressure sensor which works better when the rockers are removed or installed. 
• You can advance or retard a profile when graphing it over a baseline profile.  This allows for better checking if 2 profiles are the same, but just 1 has more slack in the timing chain.
• You can ask the program to find the best amount of advance or retard to provide the closest match between the baseline profile and the profile you are currently working with.
• You can delete individual records or blocks of records from a particular test file.  Obviously you can still delete a complete test file.

2)  Ron Sutton's Suspension Tuning Workshops One of Performance Trend's customers, Ron Sutton, is putting on several workshops on Suspension Tuning.  He has been doing this for several years, with very good attendance and great reviews.  

A huge advantage for Performance Trends' customers is Ron will be using our Suspension Analyzer software for some demonstrations.  If you own Suspension Analyzer, you will gets lots of tips on using your software.

Performance Trends has purchased 4 tickets for our guests to attend Ron's workshop in Columbus, OH July 5, the day before the GoodGuys PPG Nationals, July 6-8.  Purchase most any Performance Trends Product between now and July 3, 2018 and we can get you a ticket at no charge until the 4 tickets are gone.  Just request a ticket when purchasing.

Note:  Performance Trends is not responsible for changes to Ron's schedule or workshop.  You must arrange your own transportation and lodging.  Also, in accepting a ticket, you are allowing Performance Trends to use your name on our website and/or newsletter as someone who has won a ticket to the workshop.
