"Robot Throttles

Control of the very nature of engines is falling into the hands of
software writers."

"and some factory racers may already be able to just pin the
throttle and \"let the computer do the rest.\" It will be
fascinating to watch these systems evolve."

Indeed it will. *Very* interesting read that, thanks for pointing
it out Big.

I got done at a set of lights today by a foulcan....
I was razor-sharp at the next lights but cursed the Suzuki's lack of tacho
as I flat-changed into second while hunched-forward to both present a
better coefficient-of-drag and combat the acceleration G-force.
I kept it nailed and slammed it into third as the speedo-needle soared it's
way past the 60kph milestone and, although I hung on for an extra 5kph
margin, he had already given up; a beaten man!

I think I know how Nelson must've felt after Trafalgar....

 

Getting in touch with your inner hoon, eh Clem?... : )

 

I think he had a firm grip on his "inner hoon"

I had plenty of time to get to know it, Doug!

 

I'll bet he's hopping mad...

Hopping?
I may be being whooshed here but didn't Lord Nelson have a missing arm, not
a missing leg?

Shit; arm/leg/eye how am I s'posed to know the difference!
All I know is that he was a hardy kisser!
