Kestrel® Pocket Weather® Meters is Proud to Participate in the NHRA’s 2006 “Be A Winner, Be A Member” Program

BOOTHWYN, PA … Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters announces its participation in the 2006 NHRA’s “Be A Winner, Be A Member” program. It was developed to support and promote grassroots racers and companies who are NHRA members, and any NHRA member racer who wins a weekly event at a member track is eligible to enter.  Sponsors award monthly prizes to winners in one of seven divisions, and Kestrel will be donating their premier product, the Kestrel 4000 Pocket Weather Tracker for winners.

A complete hand-held weather station, the Kestrel 4000 measures every environmental condition: density altitude, humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed, heat stress index, dewpoint temperature, altitude, wind chill and wet bulb temperature. Portable and accurate, the Kestrel 4000 gives drivers and mechanics relevant data so they can use software or their judgment to dial in their cars.

In addition to being the only complete pocket-sized weather station available, features that make the Kestrel 4000 especially suitable for racing include:

  • Density altitude is instantly and accurately calculated with the press of a button.
  • Compact size makes it convenient to take readings in the pits for last minute adjustments.
  • Memory feature stores and charts readings for later review.

"In a sport where density altitude and wind speed can greatly influence a car's performance, the Kestrel has made dialing my car a breeze. Once I learned to trust the readings, it was amazing how predictable my car was." Says veteran bracket racer Bill Barr.

The “Be A Winner, Be a Member” program is sponsored by the NHRA’s publication National Dragster Magazine. For complete entry requirements and entry forms, log onto www.NHRA.com and click the “Be A Winner, Be A Member” Program.
