All right, I'll bite. I see absolutely no way that something plugged into
the MSD ignition box could help or control traction. The ignition box
control the spark. So how does that affect grip on the track? I see no way
that it can connect to the braking system as in some newer cars. I cannot
see how it could split torque to any driven or undriven wheels.
The only thing I can see is that it might be like a G-tech which gives
lateral g's and provides this to the driver. That way he could always drive
the car as fast as the limit of traction would allow. But the driver is
still in control in this case. Still I can see how it could be an edge in
that kind of racing (circle track). Is this what is going on?
mayf the really really dumb and ignorant desert rat in pahrump...
