Aim Sports unveiled their latest unit in Data Acquisition - the MyChron4. After doing some research I can't help but be a little excited about this product. A few of the changes are purely cosmetic, such as the yellow backlight and the chaffered corners. But the major enhancements are what really appeal to me; a larger memory capacity, on screen data analysis, and especially the USB download key. Gone are the days of lugging around my notebook or having it balance on one of my side pods. The USB key is compact and acts as a storage unit. When myself or someone whom I am working for comes off the track, all I have to do is plug the connector end into the unit and all the data gets stored on the key. Then plug it into the USB port on my laptop and presto, all the information is downloaded onto my machine for viewing. It's basically a 'jump drive', the concept may be old news in IT terms, but new in the racing world. The MyChron4 won't be available until late spring, but when it is, Ranta Racing will definitely have one on a machine.
