Gents,
here's a very professional video of the 45th race from Terran. Those of you who've seen Grand Prix the movie will recognize the inspiration for the start.

Re: Aim Mychron3 Dash Data Logger
I have the MXL which is the next step up, but shares many of the same features. I can say the customer service is very good, they are constantly updating the analysis software.

Re: tire grooving
We have a groover and once its hot and the blade is the right way around (I learnt this from experience!) its cuts through the rubber like butter. If you had some way of holding the wheel and tire I think it would be relatively easy to do with one hand. Maybe you could borrow a groover and give it a...

Aaron,
if you're dad is like my dad, you'll never be faster than him. The older my dad gets, the faster he was. Well done at T-hill.

West Coast 45th Birthday
Hi All, there's a big group of vees at Thunderhill, 3 hours north of San Fran, for the West Coast 45th Anniversary race this weekend. I dont know how many regional and division champs there are exactly, but the field is deep and fast. The track has been resurfaced so its billiard table smooth and it...
