That's excellent advice, too, but it's also something that you should do with someone more experienced who can show you the ropes. I take my Fluke 65 with me to every race, although I use it to find which cylinder is leaning out more than the others, or to check the tire temp when he comes off the track (really hot tire = too much spinning = too low a gear). We do check the track before every race, and make our final adjustments then. Track condition, which is always changing, is critical to understand in all types of racing.
Good post, Eric. You're 2 for 2!
Take care,
