Run the car on the track 1st Sesson
1. Test the car on the track at half speed or a comfortable speed on the first Lap or two, this give the tires a chance to start warming up and the driver to feel safe and comfortable
2. Then go harder on the next few laps once you have the comfort factor resolved in your brain, and that the car is going to perform like it is should.
3. On the last few laps of the session go as hard as you feel comfortable and use the brakes so we can get a reading on the tires and brakes. Also try and get a clean cut on the motor so you can get a reading on the spark plugs.
4. The minute the car comes into the pits, as it is stopping turn the front wheels away from the guard rail so you or someone can get to the tires to check the temps.
a. Check and record the tire temps (inside/middle/outside) starting with the front tire that is used the most
b. Then the rear tire that is used the most
c. Then the other rear tire
d. Then the other front tire
5. Now check the pressure on all of the tires, usually you have someone come behind the person checking the temps and then you check the pressure
6. This is one of the most important part of being on the track, and that is, what are the tires doing ..... temps and pressure
7. Now record all of the temps of the Motor, Trans, and Rear End.
8. Also record the pressure reading of the
oil, fuel, and did the driver notice any fluctuation during the session at any speed or specific
