I understand your point about the computer programing but the cars at the track are not using computers. The point is it is harder to pick up the knowledge and desire when it isn't attached to something you use everyday. In the old days you tweeked on your street car and the race car. Now they are very much different. Maybe in a few years they will be closer again with injection and computers (other than traction control

).
And F&R, it will be interesting to see how the whole fuel injection thing works out. On the top tiers like cup, natwide and truckers they should have the technology to keep everyone on the up & up but as the tech staff budgets drop that could favor the racers with $$$$$ to find advantages!!!
Oh I agree 100%. As I said in the post above, I'm personally a fan of carbs over fuel injection.
Traction control would be an easy thing to police as well, just ask the driver to do a burnout, and if the car spins and then stops and bogs down, it's got trac/ctrl.
I just hope carbs will still be around in some form.
