Have any of you played with the Bushnell Velocity radar guns yet? There was a guy at Mid Ohio with one and it was rather neat to see the straightaway speeds for some of the race classes, so I thought I should own one someday. That day is today. I ran across a deal on them through my friend the FFL (where I purchase all of my firearms). One of his catalogs had the radar guns in with the Bushnell scopes, so I ordered one. It reads from 6-200 mph and will clock a car from 1,500 feet away (per the manual). It will also clock a baseball from 6-110 mph and 90 feet.

I need to get outside to test this thing, it looks neat. All I can say so far is that it drives my radar detector insane when I squeze the trigger, I guess that's a good sign.

I'll bet that thing is worth it's weight in gold at an autocross event. You would be able to witness the faster drivers  driving slower through certain sections of the course to obtain faster times. That could be a great learning tool for me. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

Maybe it might just screw up the concentraion of other drivers if you were sitting there pointing a Gun at them!!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

Perhaps another good use for this thing. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
