I've been busy, too. No worries.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to separate out the coefficient of lift term from the coastdown equation. Lift, with regard to coastdown testing, is not something that is commonly discussed, but it is there. It varies as the square of speed, so it will affect the measurement of the coefficient of drag. It changes the amount of weight seen by the wheels, thus it changes the tire deflection, and therefore affects the measurement of the coefficient of rolling resistance.

I just need an idea of how to manually change the backlight brightness of the LCD screen. It was never meant to be a stored parameter. It needs to be immediately accessible... Hm, maybe a long press of the center button.

Sub menus: "LCD:" Brightness, Contrast, Color, Unit of Measure, etc.
           "Injectors:" all injector configurations, ChryslerMAP, etc.
           "Clock:" Set the time and (date) when it is implemented.
           "DragRace:" All settings for this menu
           "Coast Down Calculator:"  All settings for this menu
           "Partial Refuel:" All settings for this menu
           "Load / Save:" All settings for this menu
And other sub-menus that are deemed necessary, at the end of each sub-menu the option to go back.
What do you think of this idea?
Very nice idea. Just have to modify the menu code to support sub-menus.

What would "Statistics" be?
