When I pull up the gages, I did not see a RPM of HP, I have been missing
some very obvious this the last couple of days thou. Are they just named
HP.exe and RPM.exe?

Gotcha. After looking at the tips for adjusting a run, I was able to
correct the obvious. Your explanation helped out a lot in telling me what I
was adjusting, Thanks.
Is the Driver Diary where you correlate a driver/car to a particular run?
One more question, in one of my runs, I pushed out going in a sweeper. Had
I not know that I pushed out, I do not know if I would have been able to
identify the problem. What are the signs to look for in the Geez Data for
pushing and oversteer?
