On another note, this board has a usb host controller with transparent fat support on it! that means super easy datalogging to a usb hard drive (flash or full on big disk) :

It's cheap enough, and should be dead simple to write an interface for. It should also leave you with virtually unlimited datalogging for continuous runs on track, or long drives etc etc etc.
Pretty cool little device really.
