I really wish that the racing community would embrace and develop the concept
of performance as a factor of speed and efficiency. Obviously it is a major
factor in the distance racing of NASCAR and others. Wouldn't it be cool if
there was a way to implement it in the sprint races typical of our groups?
I think it would not be so hard to fit fuel meters with sending units, like
the gas company does, and measure consumption during an event. Measurement
could be synchronized with the start/finish line. That way, with a few
calculations, cars across all the different groups could compete for the grand
prize of speed and efficiency. This would open up a whole new level of bench
engineering and I believe increase the public's interest in motor sport in
general. Perhaps the results would be surprising, too!
