I won a nice PerfBytes StopWatch in Boston last fall. Already used it multiple times. Never realized I was missing such a fine tool before 😉

I think Mark is on the money, I saw a few tools, I was frustrated, then I took a intro course from Mark and some of the base ideas he spoke about helped, but you still need time to apply learning and make mistakes to be able to really build a Performance 'experience'. IMO

Funny how Teams Penske and Ganasi have the same Cars roughly as a lot of others in the field, and they still manage to be near the top of the grid every single race.

Well then there's the Ryan Hunter Rey problem. Great driver, ride lacking in horsepower, and has to take risks to keep up with the pack. (but doing so better than people with similar situations.)
