Not to throw gasoline on this subject but.....with all the I/Phone and personal handheld devices that are available now there is several performance and tuning apps for these that allow "on the fly" corrections to your vehicle WHILE YOU ARE ON THE TRACK......I have seen a couple in action and they are VERY accurate....they can take a previous run and repeat it once the time and distance is recorded from the previous run.....so....technology is officially ahead of the curve....do not allow them on your person in the vehicle, doesn't matter....the phone doesn't even need to be on the event property to accomplish this....I can see ignition boxes, ECU's, etc being removed and inspected by tech's from the respective manufacturers to verify that this modern micro technology hasn't been added so the phone can communicate with it....
