Agree with Steve, video's posted especially with data or data discussion would go a long way to creating product differentiation. Depending on NASA and the DoD can be an even more difficult expensive and frustrating road than racing.

Apparently stickers and a banner at the top of the forum and sponsoring SCCA stuff is not much help.

I think a number of people want data/video for improving their times... not as much for sharing. That is what I use it for mostly. And some really have reasons to not share, they are trying to win. The work I do with the pro racing teams... most of them are really paranoid about other people seeing their data.

My background before I started ChaseCam was working with DOD and NASA. Since the 1970s. I am fine with those frustrations and difficulty.

Can understand the proprietary nature of the pro teams. Would seem from the other boards I am on there are enough guys in NASA (Racing version), and various HPDE groups that would create buzz.

NASA and DoD can be good customers, I have been dealing with both for 30 + years. I do $10B a year with them and as the manager of buisness development for one the big 3, I still find their habbits and fads frustrating. My favorite right now is the Navy and supply chain green house gass emissions analysis required for proposals.

Do appreciate the sponsorship though, hopfully it has good return. The 3 units that came on the market used a couple of weeks ago sold fast showing the residual value.
