My comments had mostly to do with track tuning, not race day; altho I know that
some teams do very closely monitor tires, suspension, and handling via telemetry
to watch for changing track conditions so they can quickly adapt to them.

Sure, why not. I spose there were lots of people, before the advent of
electronic IGN, who never bought a dwell meter, and did just fine with only a
feeler gage. Same argument could be made; a dwell meter can fail, but a feeler
gage always tells the truth. OK, sure, I can see the logic in that. Heh.

Me, I used to use the feeler gage and then checked/tweaked with the dwell meter.
Best of both worlds.

Gee, I wouldn't know about that, I don't go in for stereotypes much; but as best
I can tell, I'm not much at risk of being called a Luddite either. Hee.
