Kestrel 4250 Racing Weather Tracker

Augast 21, 2008

As every drag racer is aware, there are a number of factors that determine success or failure on any given day of racing. One of the more volatile conditions that face racers is the weather. While nobody has the ability to affect the fickle tendencies of Mother Nature, knowing exactly what the detailed conditions of the moment are can certainly prepare a racer to adapt to momentary circumstances. The benefits of having a personal weather center is so important to professional drag racers that entire sections of the sophisticated transporters in use today are dedicated weather stations. These elaborate weather centers are beyond the means of the average sportsman drag racer, but one company has finally come to the aid of the rest of us.

Nielsen-Kellerman Company of Boothwyn, Pennsylvania has developed a state-of-the-art personal weather station that is not only the most accurate instrument of its kind on the market today, but is priced well within the reach of the average sportsman racer. The Kestrel 4250 Racing Weather Tracker is the answer to sportsman applications. The rugged, portable and easy to use Kestrel 4250 Racing Weather Tracker quickly provides racers and pit crews with the most accurate and up-to-date data available where you need it most, at the track. It allows tuners to determine what last minute changes need to be made based on the current local conditions, even immediately before the first pass down the drag strip, giving you that competitive edge.

The Kestrel 4250 Racing Weather Tracker also features an automatic and manual data storage function, allowing you to easily keep logs of race day conditions from track to track, year to year. The Kestrel PC Interface and Communicator Software allow data to be easily transferred directly to a PC or laptop making long-term storage for in-depth analysis, and detailed charting of stored data. Even slight changes in air density, water grains, and density altitude can dramatically affect a machine’s performance. With the added ability to easily measure and track these and other critical factors, such as absolute pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed and barometric pressure, the Kestrel 4250 Racing Weather Tracker arms racers with the accurate weather data needed to make those last minute jetting or tuning decisions.

Summit Motorsports Park is proud to announce a new partnership with Nielsen-Kellerman Company, developers of the Kestrel 4250, in an effort to afford our racers another competitive edge. It’s common knowledge that the regular racers at Summit Motorsports Park are some of the best in the country, and this outstanding product can only enhance our racers ability to stay at the top of the ranks. In a generous offering to our regulars, Nielsen-Kellerman will be providing 6 Kestrel 4250 Racing Weather Tracker units to be awarded at the K&N Halloween Classic presented by Harland Sharp. Details of those awards will follow, as we get closer to that event. For those that realize what an advantage this instrument can be to their racing efforts, details on the Kestrel 4250 may be found on their website; http://www.kestrel-instruments.com/ww/4250.html. We want to thank Nielsen-Kellerman for their generous support of Summit Motorsports Park and the sportsman racers that make all their efforts worthwhile.
