I have to drink that stuff to invent this stuff. I got a bottle of Grey Goose Orange going to Bristol along with fresh oranges for that slice that calms it down. I need someone staying at a hotel to bring me some ice maker ice. Much better than icemaker ice in the camper. Ice maker ice from the freezer picks up too many odors, but drink ice is not frozen nearly as hard, and it melts at a faster rate, therefore loosing the odors early before it can affect the drink. And it needs no cable. It loses the odor in .049876 miliseconds.

If we don't have any other technical subjects, then I'm going to bed as the 4 AM departure comes early.

Good luck Jeff!

Larry do a little more research before you post. Your not helping your cause. The ford factory fly by wire system cannot be changed while going down the track. If you start a run 70% throttle you end a run 70% throttle. Drive by wire is not traction control in drag racing. Yes you could cheat using fly by wire, but you can also cheat using a carburetor and a home made MSD box. So what is your point? If you think new cars are the only thing holding you back from winning race's build one. Then you can have that unfair advantage and all that prize money.

Fords don't spin anyway.

Charley, how can a car that runs 9.50 and a car that runs 10.60 have the same 60 foot time if they don't vary or control (gain) the throttle opening during the run?

800 hp, 600ft/lbs torque, 42% rear weight, 9" tires, hot track, and no spin.

Its just a physics problem!
