Key West GPS
 
Just a heads up to all the P class racers, SBI P Class uses Garmin GPS ONLY . If you need more info and the models that are legal you can check the rule book or call Richie D.

Superheat 10-26-2008 02:11 PM

thanks for the heads up! which one do you prefer?

Xtremeracing 10-26-2008 02:32 PM

Garmin 182 they make it in color and Blk & Wht. If you look on Ebay you can find them pretty cheap. I think Al from Crazy Chicken has one he is looking to sell also .

Bilgerat 10-26-2008 09:31 PM

needs to be set up so as to log a point every three seconds. Does Richie check that parameter on inspections??

Xtremeracing 10-26-2008 09:43 PM

Yes he will ask you if it is at inspections. If your not sure how to do it they can help you with it.

purnell 10-27-2008 05:24 AM

that gps is outdated, have they updated there rules to a new model. don't want to cut the dash to mount an outdated one. is frank from opa in charge of the sbi gps inspections and if so can we use the opa's gps. thanks

Xtremeracing 10-27-2008 06:00 AM

If you look in the rule book there are some other models that you csan use other then the 182 . The Garmin GPS are the ONLY one that will be allowed .

MANITIE 10-27-2008 08:21 AM

Thanks, Chris

superheat any of the garmins are legal as long as the unit has the ability to down load info to a SD card. sbi uses the garmin mapping software with a SD card reader ( the regular SD card, NOT the micro card)
heres a link to the place where we got some garmin stuff.

can't let you move up a class by yourself. putting the $$ toward bigger power and stronger drives. don't know if opa is going to try to bring back super vee or not, but i am not intrested in running a spec class. but i am intrested in still kicking your ass. HaHa Bill

Xtremeracing 10-28-2008 10:16 AM

Go to the search box on Ebay # 400002559045
Garmin 172 there is 56 listed referb. with warranty .

Xtremeracing 10-28-2008 10:25 AM

Please guys i know u are all trying, but we dont want to give anyone BAD information. The only units that can be used are the Garmin 172/182/192... and the info. is downloaded on to a Garmin Map Source Data Card....NOT a SD card, the 4000/ 5000 series use SD card and are NOT legal and being used by SBI.
