i have used my "competition" model at the track many times, all but once it has been within .2 of my slip but one run it was .4 off. sometimes high sometimes low.

i figured out something here lately, when you push the go button you need to put your fingers behind the unit and keep the presure off of it. if you just push the button it sometimes squishes back in the mounting bracket and then slips back forward when you run. basicaly if you get a run that doesn't look quite right dont count it. make a few runs and look for more of an average.

it seems very consistant. and the software it comes with is very cool.

i didn't get the software with mine. think i got the unit before they came out with the software. can you download it off the internet? and if so, what version?

your missing out then, the software is the coolest part.

they have firmware updates as well that make the unit work better and adds features to the unit itself.

go here and look for the latest software and firmware >> http://www.gtechpro.com/
