        Tuning with tire temperatures
        This subject has come up many times on the board.

        I've posted what I consider is used by most racers. I know it has always worked for me.

        You can find it under "Tuning with tire temperatures" on the Tips and Tricks Discussion. Combine this with "Handling Adjustments" and you will have a better understanding of what may work for your car.

        Thanks, Bart!
        I appreciate you taking the time to put that together. It's something I've been wondering about as my driving school experience increases....

        Bart,
        Thanks for the effort and information. You add high value to the board. I'll print out your compilations and buy a pyrometer. This is certainly timely for me since I'm headed to Buttonwillow at the end of the month with my driving instructor.
