Default Re: Class Racer Trivia

I'm new here but monitoring time on track while trying to watch a tach/shift light and hit the gears is just something Trump might Tweet at 4am.

This might work in the DC comics universe for Barry Allen/The Flash, but for most of us mere humans, we'd be under our dial by the time we recognized it on a display. Ever watch 1000s of a second on a stopwatch?

EDIT: If we saw our dial, we'd be over it. You'd need to know your cars linear acceleration rate over the 1/4 mile flat out and it's deceleration rate at given percentages of throttle. Then figure all of that out on the fly and apply it in, maybe a hon or so. Ain't gonna happen in my world...
