Fantastic new tool for all time trialers (and racers)

Post by Dave_G » Wed Jan 07, 2009 2:16 pm

I found found this great new tool that I can already tell is going to be a big help next season. I've bookmarked the site, and I expect that lots of other COMers will want to take advantage of this too:

Bringing this one back from the dead... Now that the driving season is upon us, it is time to start boning up on potential excuses.. Mine for today was "I had a wheel out of balance."

Actually, Red Riding Roof makes about 100rw, so I think the excuse would be that I misplaced 375rw....but you could also classify it as a weight reduction of 1300 pounds.

...or for some newer cars/drivers;

"I didn't push the right sequence of RACE buttons"

"there must be a computer glitch because I had to be careful in the corners"

"I can't drive fast because the dealer is monitoring every lap"

Mine is bulletproof: The parts flying off this car are of the finest British manufacture...it does keep others from tailgating!
