Re: RE: Traction Control

[<hotrod32@fuse.net>]

I have a stupit comment/question about traction control. If the NASCAR version 
works by way of rpm gain ... or doesn't. Why then does off-shore racing boats 
need a throttle man to control the engines when the boat comes out of the water 
while hitting a wave (loss of traction) couldn't this easily be handled with a 
rev limiter?
