Racing in the Rain at Lime Rock

Trust me, driving on a track in the rain is fun, unless your window fogs up, but I digress, contrary to popular belief crashing is not mandatory!

Jim Perry of DrivesTV put together this clip from a Lime Rock Club race and comments:

"When you think of members only track clubs you imagine luxury automobiles and owners sipping Campari.
Not so, at Lime Rock's Drivers Club. Here, you'll find members who are here because they love cars and they love racing.

What would you expect, after all, from the track that gave us such greats as Sam Posey and Paul Newman and run by Skip Barber (who knows a thing or two about learning to race). So, when the forecast was for a torrential downpour, the members did what any self-respecting racer would do - they donned their helmets and went out to test their limits. See if it doesn't look like fun to you."

Yes, it does!

New Traqmate gauges!

Check out what Glenn and the guys at Traqmate have cooking for an upcoming release of their TraqStudio software. 

These overlay gauges with a transparency mask are a big esthetic improvement. Notice the fancy combination tachometer and shift light!. Still Beta at this point but looking very nice, I would change only the longitudinal G indicator which to my eyes plots backwards, I would expect it to go up under braking. 

What do you think, how would you expect braking force represented, up or down?

Nice to see that Traqmate is always improving their product, and the their driving!

And here is the rest of it.
