Thanks Diesel_Dave et. al.
I have weeks of information to dig through. Already some of my long set beliefs are being chipped away. Just for reference, my last real interest in cars as more than a toaster was 20 years ago when I raced SCCA IT RX7. So I'm shocked when I read "Over inflate tires". I suppose tire tech has changed radically. I still have the pyrometers for checking tire surface temps and over inflation as well as under lead to all kinds of nasty results. IIRC we were running radials but they still would bulge wear out the middle and get skittish as hell.
