Though I've used a Mac since the beginnning I've not been real keen on the iPad. Too much lock down and lock in and lack of Flash though most of my colleagues have them. My next Mac is likely to be an Air but not touring any more it's difficult to justify (though that hasn't stooped me before ) I've gone from Bootcamp to mostly Parallels on my Mac Pro with thr only thing I need in Bootcamp is iRacing.

Using an iPad doesn't help without USB host capability -- you can't read the data from the car. If that was available, the iPad would be a great data tool.
Not entirely true... I think you can get an OBDII attachment for the iPad/iphone, and I know the iPad can accept wifi and blue tooth, so you can get an adaptor that will send the signal.

I also have an adapter for mine that will accept SD cards. It was the typical Macintosh tax of $39.

Does your race data system provide its data to your computer over OBD-II? If so, perhaps that might be feasible. Mine doesn't.

I there are a few, like RaceKeeper for instance, that sends the signal via bluetooth or wifi, and they DO have an iOS app.
I use a midget with a stopwatch bolted to the passenger footwell. Dual purpose. Ballast and data.

This kind of midget?
