At OnTrack Digital we make affordable Motor Racing and Dyno software that can be used by both amateur and professional racing teams. Our dyno software can be used at the race track for vehicle acceleration dyno runs, or on an inertia dyno in your race shop or at home. Our contact email at OnTrack is:  OnTrackDigital@BigPond.com 


Software for Inertia Dynos at home or in the Race Shop

The OnTrack Dyno software can be used for any type of inertia dyno where the engine accelerates a mass such as a flywheel or heavy rollers. Many customers use OnTrack for their "home built" inertia dyno projects where they build a dyno frame with an engine driven flywheel or rollers and use the software with an OnTrack speed sensor triggered by a magnet on the flywheel/rollers. The speed sensor, and associated signal filter, plugs directly into a PC or laptop sound card port with no other hardware required. This setup provides great dyno results at an affordable price. The OnTrack Dyno Software is US$165

Software for Vehicle Acceleration Dyno Runs at the race track

When using the OnTrack Dyno Software for Vehicle Acceleration Dyno runs it uses the same principles as an inertia dyno only instead of accelerating a flywheel/rollers the engine is tested accelerating the total weight of the vehicle. OnTrack can use data signals from either the vehicle speed or engine rpm, for example you can use an OnTrack Inductive Igniton Sensor that clips onto a spark plug lead or use a speed or rpm signal from the vehicles electronics. 

An Acceleration Dyno run is made as follows:

  • Plug a sigal lead into the OnTrack Signal Filter
  • Plug the Signal Filter into a laptop sound card port
  • Start the OnTrack software
  • Select second gear on a straight section of track 
  • Accelerate the vehicle from low rpm through to red-line
  • OnTrack will calculate and graph HP and Torque for the run

 Data Sensors and Data Signals

The OnTrack Dyno software can use the signal from any sensor or data source that has a signal proportional to the speed of the flywheel/vehicle or engine RPM. Examples of these include:

  • OnTrack Speed Sensor (recommended for inertia dynos)
  • OnTrack Inductive Ignition Sensor (clips onto a spark plug lead) 
  • Engine RPM signal from the ignition system or ECU
  • Vehicle Speed signal from the vehicle speed sensor or ECU
  • The signal to a vehicle's digital tacho or digital speedo
