Does anyone try to adjust their tire pressures based on measuring tire
pressures after you come off of the track?  For example, If I start with 24 pou
nds
in slicks before going onto the track, and then measure the tire pressures
after coming off of the track: LF= 30 psi, LR=29 psi, RF=28 psi, and RR=28 psi.
The LF and LR are then dropped down to 28 psi.  Measure the pressures after the
tires cool, write down these readings, and start with these pressures for the
next trip onto the track.  This one guy who drove the NASCAR series one year
told me that that is what they do.

My readings are not as accurate as they could be.  First there is a cool off
lap, and then nobody is allowed to stop right after coming off of the track.
Everyone has to mutter back to their location in the pits.
