Racepak LLC was founded in 1985 by Spencer Eisenbarth and Ron Armstrong, originally as Racepak and its parent company, Competition Systems, Incorporated (CSI). Both men were engineers with strong backgrounds in electrical and mechanical applications, and both had an interest in motorsports. Through an earlier joint effort aimed at obtaining data for the improvement of the Unlimited Hydroplane that Armstrong was piloting at the time, both men realized the need for onboard data acquisition equipment. Their respective backgrounds qualified them to develop such equipment. Still, the major task that needed to be overcome was in designing and building a data recorder that could survive in the unfriendly world of race vehicles. That challenge became the initial goal that led to the formation of Competition Systems, Inc. The continued success of Racepak has allowed CSI to grow. In the years that have followed Eisenbarth and Armstrong have quietly guided CSI into a strong presence in many forms of motorsports. More importantly, they have reinvested heavily into supporting the quest for information technology, and have positioned the company as a leader in the data acquisition industry. This has expanded their clientele to include industrial applications, OE manufacturers, and testing facilities, as well as a broad spectrum of land, water, and snow-based motorsports. From the single original Racepak data recorder, our line has now grown to include a large selection of unique loggers, software, gauges, and ancillary equipment all designed for the sole purpose of gathering data. In 2000, Racepak began the initial design of their first GPS-based data system. In 2001 this system soon found its way to various forms of professional motorsports, such as circle track, road racing, and offshore power boats. In 2003, the initial G2X design was conceived. A slow and deliberate development program was initiated, leading to the current G2X data system.
