And everyone I talk to says it is CRITICAL that you take the temperatures AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE. That means come in HOT. Not after a cool off lap, and
take the temperatures in the HOT PITS...not back in your paddock.
Me and WISMER are pros at this. We've got a digital pyrometer, a computer
evaluation program, and even a clip board.
We're not sure what we're doin, but we really look good doin it.
