no your NOT going 300 like clock work
in top fuel, top fuel uses as much data acq. as
the space shuttle
as far as "enjoy your traction control",
thats like me saying enjoy the nitrous you
use in gas class
as for spending as much money as I like to go as fast as I can,
well, we save all year to to do what we can with what we have,
our 223 record on 65 ci, was on a bike we bought with 22000
miles, taken kids to school, street licensed and occassional
steet miles, about $1800 spent on fixxer uppers, $3600 for the bike,
almost every part bought of ebay/internet, 1960's molded carburetors,
rings, bearings, pistons from the best we could do from boxes of used
parts, 10 people in the family pitched in to buy the leathers we have,
I dont own a welder, a drill press, air compressor or ....didnt have a vice
until last year,
love the sawzall and hammer
now how we did things might not have been the best way, but its how we did
it,
Bonneville is life, we all have choices to make, we make them and enjoy the
return
if I had a roof of dirt and straw that has been maintained every yr to keep
my
family safe, I wouldnt tell my neighbor who just put up a composite
maintenance free
roof that I have had less leaks than him
its all goooood, life is gooood

now those top fuel guys, they really know how to unload
and go 300mph+ like clock work, good ole hot rodding,
they are old school and dont need all that high tech allowed by their
rules,
right..............
Not everyone who goes 300 at the salt uses recorders and telemetry. As a
matter of fact I know of several who don't. So it can be done. But it is nice
to spend as much as you like to go as fast as you can. I say enjoy your
traction control and whatever else you would like to use, some of us who don't
are still faster.....at least for the time being.
