Hey Dob!
Yes, this typographical error (Dob) is intentional, but steeped in car club history. I miss having your "Isuzaroos" chasing my Corvettes around Heartland Park and Mid-America Motorplex. We should catch up on racing stories one of these days.
I have always been quite interested in these sort of technologies. I think you may know my pal, Will Rogers, who worked on something along these lines. He was a regular at many of the BMW and PCA HPDE events, and engineered several solutions for German cars.
I learn a lot from engineers like Will. They come up with all kinds of amazing technologies to make things better, faster, stronger, and etcetera. A common tragedy is when the products are so amazing that people don't understand the value of their application. This is the same thing I see with Torvec. They have engineered some very impressive items with great potential, but need a better strategic approach to gaining product adoption. If they will do that, I believe they can win a good share of a multi-billion dollar market.
I do understand, and I can relate to their dilemma. When you have something which has sound logic behind it, there is a tendency to hope the logic will speak for itself.
You are kind to call me a "natural". I suspect that three to four days per week at race tracks and a lot of great instruction helped considerably. Learning to drive was the one instance of tutelage that I accepted very passionately. You gave me some great tips, yourself, Dob.
Now about that line at MAM, I am all ears. I will say, however, that I have made some improvement. I came away with 4th and 6th place out of 77 competitors in my last two events there. I exited the track and was really disappointed by how conservatively I had driven. Next time I will go for the gusto!
If I just had a shot of courage before the race and Torvec products on board, that 4th and 6th may have been 1st and 1st.
