Meanwhile the flash of orange cones in my periphery takes my attention away from the edfc and I crash into a wall.
I guess you skipped my post. The system could be used fairly effectively:

1st I'm assuming there are some presets, so with the touch of a button you can adjust all 4 dampers.

Now assume you set one preset that helps the car turn left, and another helps the car turn right. On a course that has a left biased section on say the 1st half of the course (more left turns than rights) followed by a right biased 2nd half, hitting a single button in the middle of the run gives you a huge advantage.

But like I said in my 1st post, that's a "huge" advantage at a national level, where 1 tenth is an eternity.

My point is that the rule exists for a real reason, and it's not some completely rediculous thing like some of the other SCCA rules.
