Seasoned racers have undergone drills of clocking their race countless of times. This is a good way to experience what it is like on the road and beat the time set out for you. This is also a good training for new racers.

You basically time your race. You can set out goals for yourself and see if you meet them. There are two ways for you to clock you race. The first one is through the stop clock method and the computerized method. I will tell you today how you are going to use both.

For the stop clock method, you need to purchase a reliable sports stop clock. You can customize the stop watch to time laps. This feature is available in most modern stop watches. Just press the start button once the race starts and then click it once again to stop at the end of the lap. Record the results if you want.

You can also use a computerized method. There is a software called Race Driver made by LAN Sharks company. This will record the length of the time the race has elapsed. In addition to that, it can also record the performance of your car's tires including its spring setting which makes it a more comprehensive choice.

This software also has a report wizard you can take advantage. Use this program to count the laps. It can count up to 4,096 laps and stores the data with utmost accuracy. You can download and print out the results of the report. You can compare the results you have measured with other racers. Knowing how well your car performs can let you tweak its settings so you can maximize its fullest potential.

You can also try the Race Drive Pro software from Race Manager. This will allow you to keep track of your racing sessions. This records your data and helps you find its speed and strengths. This is also ideal for other types of cars such as motorcycles so if you are a multi-racer, this will come handy.

It also evaluates how much you qualified for every practice and every race. What makes this ideal is that you can time it with other systems such as Alfano and Intercomp systems. This provides a more comprehensive way of timing your race. This way, you can harness your car's fullest potential. Get yourself any of this type of software and improve your car's speed and performance.
