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.

I was half joking and I agree with you that it could be possible if maybe the control unit was somehow mounted to the steering wheel. My point is that where mine is mounted, the time it would take me to lean forward and push one of the presets, would probably cost me more time than it could save given the loss of concentration and repositioning yourself in the seat. You being taller than me may be able to reach the clock area without much movement, but for me, I would have to loosen my seatbelt, lean forward and push the button.
