I saw this picture today, and it reminded me about something Sammy, NickCats and I learned at the Blackhawk Farms Racetrack event this past Sunday.

Several of the race cars have the dials turned about 90 degrees. I asked about this, and one guy told me they do this so they can see, out of their peripheral vision, when they are nearing red-line, so they can up-shift. It is easier to see the red needle, when it is straight up & down.

Pretty cool!

Maybe I should do this mod, and see if I get any increased butt dyno.
