Dixon lost the championship because he failed to roll out of the throttle early enough in the corners, not because his fuel mapping computer could only dial it back so far. The human element is a big part of racing for many folks, so anything that removes or minimizes that element is annoying. Also, since it comes on every engine, it isn't even something that reflects on the mechanics, like choosing a taller high gear before the race.Fred Hurleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379706257551429697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-64037667995647412842008-08-12T06:45:00.000-07:002008-08-12T06:45:00.000-07:00Ooh, ooh, a political debate!

In this country we have the option to take out the trash every 4 or 8 years, but everything I've read about Chavez over the last decade indicates he's really keen on keeping Venezuelans from unseating him as their fearless leader. If he's looking to personally control of a nation for life then I got two words for him: Dick. Tater.<BR/><BR/>But seriously, you realize this site is about auto racing right?

There was no mapping for the 07 season, and it wasn't any different.<BR/><BR/>Fuel mileage races are ok by me. That was a hell of a finish yesterday because of said fuel mileage, just like Chicagoland last year.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795969546709474435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-90394823214544317532008-08-11T19:18:00.000-07:002008-08-11T19:18:00.000-07:00Uh... the somewhat odd Mr. Chavez is no more a dic...Uh... the somewhat odd Mr. Chavez is no more a dictator than George W. Bush. Sorry. Furthermore, he's a hell of a lot more popular in Venezuela than Bush is here in the United States.<BR/><BR/>Unless, of course, by "dictator" you mean "guy who charges tax on barrel of Oil and uses it to improve lives of Venezuela's poverty stricken and very large lower class, but refuses to buy U.S. securities and fund our huge budget deficit like the Saudis do, thereby pissing off Oil men from Texas and bankers from New York."<BR/><BR/>In that case, yeah, he's a dictator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-17114083059356008222008-08-11T17:23:00.000-07:002008-08-11T17:23:00.000-07:00Indeed - Vitor's streak is at 90, which is obvious...Indeed - Vitor's streak is at 90, which is obviously much higher than I can count.Iannuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120192496901254768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-60004607069034122132008-08-11T17:14:00.000-07:002008-08-11T17:14:00.000-07:00Gosh I was wondering when the hell you boys were g...Gosh I was wondering when the hell you boys were going to post your race notes!!
