I've heard about that magical box. After the track bike purchase and other support items all I can say for the timer is maybe next year.
Unless I can get a couple of CR's to whisper in my wife's ear, "He needs this".
What are respectable times by group for the different tracks?

Talk to Lenny. My wife called while a bunch of us were sitting around the fire on a Saturday night, and Lenny just said, "give me the phone." I did. Got a 'new' bike a few months later

I have the GPX on my 08 & 09 R6 and yes, it got me 5 seconds at Thunderbolt last year and 6+ seconds at Summit. Now, I can't say just the lap timer itself got me the time, however careful analysis of what I was doing as Kubricky mentioned in his post along with the capabilities of the GPX most certainly did. To kurbicky's point, I've utilized a notebook to document my riding since 2008.
My GPX is very valuable to me as I understand it's value/place in my riding paradigm. As I stated before it is not the only tool, but one of them. I'm learning new things about the capabilities of the GPX all the time.
How approach my riding might also be the reason why I have only been down twice I started riding on the track in 2006. Once during my first weekend and then last season racing. I like not to count racing as things will happen when racing. However, I still believe that my track record of staying up is a good one. I don't allow myself to lose my head when riding as I know things will come in due time. Now, that does not mean I don't push it as there is a difference and knowing what the difference is, is the KEY!
I currently have my GPX wired up to give me:
Throttle Position
RPM
Brake on/off
Engine Temp
Gear indicator
Speed

Couple that with a wife that loves the track and encouraged the bike purchase. Must resist . .
Now all you need to do is get her to work the $2k in overtime and buy you the bike.

Good one.
Got the bike already. It was my bike she encouraged back in May.
On a different note, "How is it the house knows every time I get some extra money?!" Something has to break

Women like that are few and far between. Hold onto her like grim death lol. Mine bought me sato rear sets my first year and tire warmers last year. Around april this year she's like "What do you need for the track this year?"
