Seasons end is here and now we all turn to bench racing. Well some of us any way. Regarding Joe's comment about needing TC for acceleration because the courses are short or getting shorter (hopefully
What happens if you are spinning the tires before the setpoint?? Add more power to get desired accel? A slip indicator is easiest and works at all speeds. (Rear wheel speed / front wheel speed)-1 = %
there is a theorem I like.......... they dont add speed, but vehicles that add them are able to go faster.......... Joe Quoting Nt788@aol.com: -- This mail sent by http://webmail.rushmore.com

My comment to your theorem is to use the example of Art Christman's "Hustler" Slingshot Dragster. He was running in the low 180s with just a whisp of smoke coming off the tires, while others were pr
The problem is that its hard for the driver to judge wheel spin using only their sense of hearing - If there was better feed-back like a light that grew brighter with uncreased wheel spin it we would
"they dont add speed, but vehicles that add them are able to go faster".......... Joe Is that Joe as in Joe-gi Berra ? It's like Drag Racing, nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded. Regarding TC
Proposing TC is like saying we need ATC (automatic throttle control) to prevent overreving when a tachometer would solve the problem - We have lost somthing if we hear "my dads computer can beat your
I know, real tuners use points and condensor, real racers made 3 passes, real racers spun the entire way down the track with no roll cage, real racers use mechanical injection, real racers can tune b

Yes, but-- I keep a circular slide rule in a pocket in my Gold Wing. The slide rule has been there for years - and has never needed fresh batteries nor strong light to operate, resists damage from vi
Not only that, but if someone sets off a nuclear EMP burst overhead the slide rule will keep on working even when all the electronic calculators and TC circuits are wiped out! lance

I might as well stop the flood of questions before it gets out of hand and clogs up the server: The circular slide rule is made of a rectangle of plastic upon which are mounted the "circles" of the
Had a senior mech engineer at work, that took his slide rule and put it in a picture frame with this sign on it. hung it over his desk.. "In the event of power failure, break glass" Heck I still have
Yeah, we had to learn some o that junk about air burst killing just about everything digital. A nuke at 200 miles alt will just about wipe out everything in the us that has digital circuitry. We had
