[Land-speed] cockpit design and layout

[DahMurf]

We have checklists taped to our tanks on our bikes. We don't really have a 
pit crew so it's usually only the pilot and possibly one crew member at the 
line. Arm this, flip that switch, whatever. You can bet when I run at 
Bonneville I'll have it taped on there which way to turn & how many miles to 
run! lol! If you try to remember too much you get bogged down in details you 
don't need on your mind while you're trying to run. All I have to remember 
is to check the list & once that's done it's out of my head. There's nothing 
worse then hitting that button to shift only to find out you didn't arm the 
shifter! I've even gone as far as to tape off shift points on the speedo of 
a bike that had no tach. Whatever works!

We've told a lot of racers to do it & some are "too proud" to do it. And yet 
they botch run after run because they forgot this or that!

Check lists are good! :^D
