New Record in Drag Racing History

[Mike Voth]

It really shouldn't be too hard to understand the "computer" thing. There's absolutely no way a computer controlled car falls off as much as a non-computer controlled car. Where this becomes pertainant is in qualifying. A computer controlled car makes fuel and timing adjustment on the fly, which would, all things equal, make the car more efficient, and, in return, perform better for the conditions. We can make carb or timing changes according to the weather, but it's only a guess, not knowing how it will actually affect the car. The optimal setting will always be present in a computer controlled car. I wouldn't believe otherwise. But I don't mind the computer cars, in fact, it would be nice to drive one...a lot easier to maintain, I would guess. As long as it was American, and the big wheels were on the rear!
