3)  DataMite Minis are in Stock  Well, we're a little late on getting these into production, but now we have the DataMite Mini USBs in stock (and lots of them).  The Mini's make great Dyno data loggers for small kart inertia dynos, or most any dyno where you only want to record a few channels.  We've shipped out several dyno systems already, for people who have been on the waiting list.

The Minis can also be used to retro-fit Power Tech Spring Testers.  You get improved data repeatability and many more features in the software.  You also can avoid some of the spring height or force limitations of the standard Power Tech software.  Click on blue "retro-fit Power Tech Spring Testers" for more info.

4)  Dave Morgan's Seminars for Drag Racing 4 Link Tuning  Dave Morgan has been doing books and seminars on tuning 4 Link Drag Racing suspensions for many years.  He's got a series of seminars coming up with updated info.  Contact Dave if you want to attend at StaayTuned@aol.com  Dave actually uses our 4 Link Calculator for some of his presentations.

-------------------------------------------

5)  Customer's Custom Flow Benches  Some customers have sent us photos of their "custom" flow benches over the years.  They have used our Port Flow Analyzer with our EZ Flow System or Black Box electronics to do the data logging and analysis.  We should have kept them for our new page "Customer's Custom Flow Benches" (click on blue link).  

If you've sent us photos in the past of your flow bench, please send them again with some pertinent info about flow capabilities, power usage, your personal info that you would like made public, etc.  Send to:  feedback@performancetrends.com  We'll get them on our new page.

6)  Recent Press Coverage  The "E-KMI" karting website had an article on our DataMite data loggers for karting dynos.  Check it out at:   http://www.e-kmi.com/article.cfm?article_id=2577
