[Fot] brake bias

[Jim]

It's an issue of "where" on course.

Drivers school weekend I was barely able to sneak a peek on the TWS front
straight.  Second weekend?  I was waving to friends at the fenceline on the
carousel.  And watching the gauges on a regular basis.

So if the car isn't a handful, it's easier to keep an eye on what's going on
around you.  If the car is a handful.. Maybe time for some work?


Cheers,

Jim

Whoa!...if someone is not able to check  gauges on a road course..they
should not be out there.
