Drag Race Weather Stations & Equipment

Most bracket racing weather stations are handheld devices that provide weather information, such as relative humidity, temperature, air density, barometric pressure and more. The car weather station then allows you to put in your vehicle's time slip data to match with the weather information. After a few runs have been saved, the handheld weather station can then predict your ET time based on weather changes throughout race day or for future races.

The best weather station for bracket racing will allow you to record your run information with the weather conditions at the time of that run and then predict your ET based on the information you have added and those weather conditions. The most important weather conditions that affect drag racing performance are temperature, relative humidity and barometric pressure. The best drag race weather stations will prioritize these measurements and provide them accurately.

A racing weather station analyzes the weather conditions, such as temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity and other conditions, with a built-in barometer and thermometer (as well as other instruments), calculating the density altitude. Density altitude is calculated in feet and illustrates changes to weather conditions. In general, the higher the density altitude, the slower your vehicle's ET will be as an increase in temperature, barometric pressure or humidity will slow your car down. It is important to make sure your vehicle is consistent in order for the drag race weather station analyzer to make good predictions on how your vehicle will run based on weather changes.
