Experience The Thrill of Driving a Racecar

SimCraft APEX sc830 Racing Simulator

Have you ever wanted to experience the thrill of driving a racecar at 200 MPH, but you don’t have a $1,000,000 racing budget? Take the APEX SC830 for a spin for a real sensation of speed. This gadget is not a cheap toy, though, at $25,000. Perhaps your best chance in taking one of these for a spin is at your local sports bar.

The APEX sc830 is the most realistic auto racing simulator on the market. Other simulators may have some motion, but none will have the triple axis movement comparable to the SimCraft APEX sc830. This model has movement in 3 directions, including 40 degrees of yaw, 25 degrees of pitch, and 40 degrees of roll. You better buckle up when you take this thing for a spin, or you may just fall out.

Professional racecar drivers use the APEX sc830 to hone their skills. It is so realistic that you can get a feel for the racetrack without even leaving the garage area. Indy driver Sarah Fisher used the SimCraft APEX sc830 to prepare for the Indy 500.

The construction of the frame is just like that of a real racecar. The surrounding safety cage is constructed of standard roll cage tubing. The seat is an actual racecar safety seat. Grip the standard racing wheel.

The SimCraft software utilizes physics-based integration to provide a real-time motion thrill experience. The triple screen with a wrap-around view gives you the sensation of actually being on the racetrack. When you crash, the computer will signal the mechanics of the chassis to provide feedback to the driver. You will feel like you hit the wall or the car in front of you although it won’t hurt nearly as much as the real thing and the repair bill will be a lot cheaper.

The feeling is so real you will be wishing you were wearing a helmet and a fire suit. The secret to this new technology is that the motion has zero latency. When you turn the wheel, the car turns and rolls immediately. When you crash, the jarring action is instantaneous. When you accelerate, you feel the sensation of speed immediately. When you brake hard, you better brace yourself.

The technology was originally developed for aircraft simulators by a retired electrical engineer. The system worked so well that it was quickly adapted to motorsports simulation.

Hold onto your hat; you will think this is the real deal.

Hands-Free Hat Light

Hands-Free Hat Light

The first time you see a hands-free hat light, your initial reaction will be “this is just a novelty item.” That is until you try it for yourself. There are literally hundreds of legitimate uses for a hands-free hat light.

Have you ever crawled under a car at night trying to repair an electrical problem? You need 2 hands, one to hold the wrench and the other to hold the wires. That 3rd hand would be useful right about now. You have a flashlight, but it just won’t shine in area you are working on, or it falls over every time you move. How frustrating! The hands-free hat light will solve this problem; just move your head, aim, and shoot.

Do you enjoy cooking outdoors in the evening, but you can’t see if your steak is rare or well done? Wear the hands-free hat while working the grill, and you will see so well it will make your hunger grow.

Outdoorsmen use the hat when hunting and fishing. Try loading your rifle or baiting a hook in the wee hours of the morning, and you will appreciate the additional light. Fisherman will also appreciate the light when mooring a boat late at night.

The hands-free hat has become commonplace in the garage area at your local racetrack. Pit road lighting is generally poor, the crews are always in a hurry, and they don’t have time to mess around searching for a flashlight. They can lift the hood of the racecar, lean in, and view the action.

Campers will find the hands-free light handy. How often have you arrived late at night and struggled connecting your utilities? No longer will you need your spouse standing over your shoulder holding a flashlight.

There are several models of hands-free hat lights. You can purchase an integrated hat and flashlight combo, or you can buy a clip-on light. The clip-on model will add the versatility of choosing your favorite hat for the specific task at hand.

The lights are very bright LED lamps which run on coin type batteries. The batteries can last for up to 30 hours. One of the more popular models is called the Cyclops. How appropriate.

While the hands-free hat light is not the most sophisticated item you will ever own. However it may just be the most useful purchase of the year. The list is long: walking the dog, reading a book, or working in the attic. It makes a great gift for Father’s Day, Christmas, or employee giveaways.
