- Can't see a reason why it should not be legal in A-mod. I think it would be a seriously bad idea. Gas-turbine race cars have been famous for throttle-lag. I don't mean the namby-pamby little lag you

- Think outside the box Phil. I would make the gas turbine run at a constant optimal RPM, and develope a CVT transmission to control acceleration. If I were so inclined. Which I'm not. No way. legal? P

- While we're at it.. why not have the Turbine spool up two Gyroscopic (flywheel) energy storage units (spinning in opposite directions, of course) and have all the energy for the run saved up before t

- You are telling me that the two ideas I suggested were in the box? You got a pretty big box, there, Pat! Good luck. The CVT cars about which I know are controlled by an engine throttle. Direct contro

- I was thinking the turbine Indy car in the 1960s controlled its level of acceleration (mostly) with its brakes. Rather durable brakes, at that. Or am I thinking of a different turbine-engined car? Ke
