As per our recent discussions regarding all things laptimers, for a very limited time I'm pleased to offer TT members a special price on Superbike Source's latest product - the uber-cool XT Racing GPX Zed!
You've probably seen the analysis I do of my practice and race laps (and of crashes, to work out what has gone wrong!), such as here: http://tarmactalk.com/forum/showthread.php?182-Track-day-Lap-Timers&p=1334&viewfull=1#post1334
The Zed is the smaller (and significantly cheaper!) version of the big brother GPX Pro. The Zed has almost all the features of the Pro, including the same XT Studio for analysis, but without the additional data-logging inputs of the Pro that most people never use (including for most of them, I'm embarrassed to say, me). It does however prominently feature the most useful feature of all - the red/green indicators of whether you're on a hot lap or not!! The Pro's one failing is that you could choose only either the shift lights OR 'thumbs up/down' feature, not both, which was a massive disappointment.
I have a whole heap of units winging their way from the States right now, which should arrive hopefully by the end of the week next week. We are an official dealer, and so these are proper Australian delivered and supported, including local warranty (so no having to ship them back to the States if you have a problem).
For this week until the shipment lands, I'm offering them at $380, instead of the usual $420. Also available are optional 1.5m extension cables at $20, not $30, (to allow mounting of the GPS receiver at the tail of the bike) and mounting brackets to mount the units to the fork leg (these are pretty trick), for $40, not $50. PM me or email me via the contact form here: http://superbikesource.com.au/pages/Contact-Us.html

GPX ZED
You'll wonder how you ever raced without one.

At XT Racing, we understand that in order to be a valuable tool, the GPX Zed needs to be simple enough to give what the professional racer wants while being cheap enough to be affordable by track-day racers.

The GPX Zed is literally jam packed with features previously found in models hundreds of dollars more expensive.

A perfect companion to the myriad functions in the GPX, XTStudio allows you to take the data gathered on track and analyze it in detail on your Windows enabled PC. Review your sessions in real time with your data streaming in graphs or on gauges to help isolate any trouble areas you may have on the track.
Watch as you let off the throttle and your RPMs fall heading into a turn and compare your turn entry with your other entries into that same turn. Watch data gathered on corner exit to see where you were on the throttle early and where you were late, allowing you to find the lap where you performed the best.
Customize everything from the appearance of your main screen to the data displayed while you are out on track using XTStudio's integrated GPX display customization features.
With XTStudio, your laps come to life.
