Is it possible to use both time and speed... I mean.... I have no idea how fast I'm running unless I change from speed to time and even then, if I haven't "bested" my time.... it won't show so I have to switch the option all the time. Is it possible.... better yet.. feasible with a patch. Thanks for your time!

Maybe, but I honestly don't understand what you are asking about (I gather it relates to the speed vs time selection in reporting laps, but beyond that, I'm lost as to what you want...) ---Jim Sokoloff, Papyrus

Jim, sorry I didn't make myself clearer.. Yes, your reasoning above is exactly what I'm talking about. It's difficult to gage what a 22.423 is in speed... It really is just getting used to it, but if I'm running 24.323 at a track, then I run a 24.121.. I'm confused on how much faster of a lap I just turned. In Nascar, they give you both time and speed. I was wondering why both couldn't be implimented as a given... like requiring full 22 gallons to qualify and race. Thanks for replying so promptly. Being on the newgroup answering numerous questions can't be all fun... I appreciate it!

It sounds as though he wants a toggle switch (that is active during a race) to change the display between lap times and lap speeds. Currently the only way to do it is to exit a session and changing it in the options screen. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

Hi! What I do, is to get the speed in the F1 screen and have my spotter tell me the time with the Alt-O switch. Although he tells me only the times to the hundreds (like 24.32) and sometimes I understand an 8 for a 6 in the tenth department, I find this quite good to compare lap times with lap speeds! Hope this helps -- Kai Wesling

Success! This combo works fine for me too. M Lewis

I'd like to have the ability to see both simultaneously if possible.

Hmmm....I reasoned that that would be the best option, but when I tried it (F1 with "O" for spotter times), it wouldn't work. Wwhen I use that combo, the spotter doesn't say anything...can run many laps with only "O", and get his voice every time (though, honestly, I do wish he was a _little_ easier to understand), then switch on "F1", and no more spotter, switch off "F1", and spotter again...This was pissing me off, but as I see you've been able to accomplish that, maybe I was doing something wrong...I'll go back and check again... Anyone else either have success or failure with this combo? John Wehman
