To rid the computer of any "pre-conceived notions". Before I get
to the track, I have to drive for an hour and a half, and if the
computer is optomized for that, it probably isn't going to be at
its fastest at the strip.
You're right about the "drive cycles" though. Both Bill and I
reset the computers at the track at the beginning of the day, and
our 2nd runs are always faster than the 1st, and the 3rd is usually a
little faster than the 2nd, then the times seem to stay about the same.
