www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com


Daytona International Speedway underwent a $400 million redevelopment that began in July 2013 and was completed in time for the 2016 Rolex 24 At Daytona and DAYTONA 500. The project includes five expanded and redesigned entrances, or “injectors” that lead fans to a series of escalators and elevators transporting them to three different concourse levels. Each level features spacious social areas, or “neighborhoods,” along the nearly mile-long frontstretch. At the conclusion of the redevelopment, Daytona International Speedway now has approximately 101,500 permanent, wider and more comfortable seats, twice as many restrooms and three times as many concession stands. In addition, the Speedway now features over 60 luxury suites with track side views and a completely revamped hospitality experience for corporate guests.

Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on Radio 105.7 and iHeartRadio - Michigan and New Car Gadgets

***Rick was in Northern Michigan this week. The leaves may be starting to change a little, but with temps in the 80s, the weather was perfect for anything outdoors.. golf, fishing relaxing...

 And..

It doesn't matter if your car is old like Sully's or a gas saving maching like Rck's there are always new gadgets hitting the market for your cars.

Here is some of the latest Rick has been trying...

Have a listen:

1.  ZUS Smart Tire Safety Monitor

www.nonda.co

About $100
The nonda ZUS Smart Tire Safety Monitor is actually a series of devices that work in tandem with a powerful app.
Note: 4 in 10 drivers believe they can determine if a tire is under inflated just by looking. In fact, tires can be 50% under inflated and not appear flat.

A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reinforces that advice by determining that vehicles driving on tires underinflated by more than 25 percent are three times more likely to be involved in a crash related to tire problems than vehicles with proper inflation.

Just charge, use Bluetooth and launch the app, install (screw in) the sensors until they are tight on to the valve of your tires.Caps are labeled for the correct tire and you are ready to go and check your tires.
 

2. ZUS Smart Car Charger

https://www.nonda.co/products/zus-smart-car-charger

Another ZUS product, this one is $34.99
- Car battery monitor
- 2X faster charge
- Automatic car finder
 

3.  Brush Hero

www.brushhero.com

The revolutionary detailing tool that harnesses the power of an ordinary garden hose to clean cars, motorcycles and bikes to perfection. Only $34.99

Sure, there are dozens of other cleaning gadgets on the market. But they simply don’t get the job done right. Before Brush Hero, it was difficult to find a tool that had enough power to remove dirt and grime without the damaging delicate surfaces of cars, motorcycles and bikes.

Brush Hero uses water pressure alone to power its turbine and bust the grime in only seconds. It spins with an impressive amount of torque! An awesome gift for the car, motorcycle, or bike enthusiast in your life, it also comes with an array of custom cleaning accessories to tackle every job you can imagine. Men love using Brush Hero to get their BBQs, golf clubs, and even their lawn mowers looking as good as new again. No matter the cleaning project, this tool is the ultimate weapon for men ready to win the war on muck.

5. BMW to integrate Parkmobile app into cars

Parkmobile, the leading provider of mobile parking and transit solutions in North America, today announced at the 2017 International Parking Institute Annual Conference the availability of its full platform capabilities as an integrated OEM offering in all new BMW vehicles.  Parkmobile currently enables consumers to find, reserve and pay for parking through a single app in over 2,000 locations and 250 cities across the US and Canada. With this launch, in addition to reserving parking directly through the car navigation system or companion ParkNow app, BMW drivers can also initiate and pay for on-street and off-street parking across the Parkmobile Network.  

Leveraging the car navigation system and GPS, when parking on-street or in other Parkmobile enabled locations, BMW cars will prompt drivers to begin a parking session through the dashboard screen seamlessly and without the need to either pay a meter or initiate a session via mobile app.  Similar to the Parkmobile App, the vehicle will prepopulate the zone based on GPS coordinates, enabling 1-touch parking.  The offering supports the capability to preselect the amount of time a driver wants to purchase, with the ability to manage and extend sessions remotely through the companion ParkNow app or Parkmobile app while away from their vehicle.   In addition, where parking rules allow, the platform supports start-stop parking sessions whereby the parking session terminates automatically when the driver returns to the automobile and commences driving.  

Parkmobile’s launch of this innovative new service in BMW cars follows the successful launch last year of in-dash reservations into the BMW 5 Series line.  “We are extremely proud to partner with BMW to deliver this tremendous innovation in the automotive and parking industries alike.” said Jon Ziglar, Parkmobile’s CEO.
