How do you guys secure a lap top in a car during a race. I want to do some data logging during my autox runs, and I need to be able to have access to the keyboards to start and stop the log.

 

I was wondering about this the other day...still trying to figure out what I'd do.

 

front seat with the seat belt around the laptop

 

dont you remember the fast and the furious

 

LOL I was gonna say that as a joke although I suppose for some situations it may work.

As for starting stopping logs if all it takes is the hit of a button (i.e. enter or space) and you don't want to look at the screen during the race hows about just have the screen against the back of the seat and use a ratchet binder to hold the laptop to the seat. THis will also put the Enter key closer to you. Of course you may want to glance at the screen just to be sure it did start/stop logging, but a little mirror or leaning action could probably fix that

 

not sure if laptop on the passenger seat with seatbelt over will pass tech inspection.

 

they ahve things that you can connect to the bottom of your passenger seat to clasp onto laptops. I cant remember where they sell them yet my friend had one in his IX.

That is awesome. I needed that this weekend.

 

go to www.jottodesk.com

it is what the cops use.

 

not sure if those laptop stand can support a laptop during high g-force maneuver while racing.

 

brackets attached to the seat mounts work great.

 

MAYBE...

have a skinny person inside that weighs less than 110lbs and have them press the button.

 

attach a usb keyboard/keypad and put that keyboard someplace close to you. you can put the laptop in the glovebox
