So now I've heard that if the resistor is blown your gas gauge reads low and
the temp gauge reads high.  Mine both read low, bad grounding maybe?
I agree with Gordon, the turning G-force seen in F1 makes me get real bored
watching NASCAR, but that is only an opinion.  F1 anecdote: My workplace
sells carbon/carbon brakes & rotors to F1 teams, and the sales rep was
recently told that the downforce created was sufficient for the car, at full
speed, to drive on an inverted surface, if you could only get it there at
speed.   Hmm, modify one of those hi-speed test tracks so that after the 90
degree banked turn you go up rather than down and drive on the roof?
