You know what Mike.... Your statement is interesting because I do think in
seconds.... ....  I want that 15 second mile this year... Maybe someday the
M/S will capture a 12 second mile...

Why would we want to limit how someone does this?  What kind of racing are
we doing?  I love the Rule Book and the way the SCTA/ECTA has so few
rules....  So why limit traction control?

Can I take your EFI away Mike?  Think of what a Great advancement that is
for the Turbo Motors... same thing with the Traction control.... someday
maybe?  or maybe not.... But let folks try it.... see what the advantages
are.....what the disadvantages are....

Keith ( I am barely capable of running a Carburator at this point... let
alone mechanical fuel injection.... and I am thinking traction control?
hmmm )
