Re: Pyrometer

I have a memory Pyrometer (Accutech). You can get them at Longacre Racing.

And yes, they are most beneficial, especially when running R compound tires. They will definitely help extend tire life by enabling you to obtain accurate tire temps. R compound tires, such as Hoosiers for example, often benefit from a specific amount of negative camber for instance and running less than nominal will result in incresaed wear. Take at least three tire temps immediately after coming off the track: outside shoulder, center of tire and inside shoulder. Increased heat indicates increased load due to camber, toe, etc., but you probably already know that.

Having someone in the pit with the Pyrometer ready to go is helpful in order to obtain more suitable and accurate readings.
