Question for all you veteran racers out there, have you ever considered/used data acquisition systems to help improve your lap times? And if not, is it something you would think might be useful? I'm talking about recording things like cycle speed, plotted course (gps lat/long), lean angle, suspension travel, when and where your knee hits the ground, steering travel, etc.
If you were able to view this data, correlated, after a lap, and compare to other laps, would it help you to improve your times? What about during a lap, in a sort of heads up display, would any of the data be useful then?
Mostly a curiosity, our company is somewhat involved with data acquisition systems and I've played with the idea of trying to outfit a motorcycle with one, just for fun, but I don't know enough about racing to know how much technology would help, and how much your lap times are improved just by learning and feeling out the course.
