Wow, I've been looking for something like this "test point" you describe for
sometime to see what my gauges really read.  None of them ever agree.  I
wonder if this booth will be at the AMA races at Mid-Ohio, or if there are any
other places that have such a calibrated test point?  

Anyone ever find such?
