Theres also a handy site

I learned something at Doom which none of these calculators could teach me....

flat up the hill before Quarry at around 8.5k (dont rev much higher), I losing upto 800 revs from right kink to left at the top, so I thought I'd have to go large on the rear and over rev...Chris P and Wilf suggested the opposite...as I was then closer to the power at the bottom it would pull me up - bingo and meant I was less out dragged there and stopped Paul flying past me

those things come from experience and knowledge, to which I applaud. If only I had someone like that in my corner
