Dan (Bwanna),
Well, I'll tell you what......if I end up with one on the "Rose", I'll show
you how it works and then demonstrate that it doesn't work when certain
components are removed from the system. Then if I can go fast enough for a
record, I'll bring the car to impound and we'll disable it prior to the
record qualifying run (and the backup run). If I qualify with the system
"on" then too bad for that run....doesn't count.
Would that work? Besides that, if anybody runs it without "test"
permission, send them home.
