Radio control car racers adjust the timing on their motors to improve performance, often quite a lot more performance - going forward. I assume they don't go in reverse too well with extensive go-fast tweaks. And just like the big cars, the rulemakers have limits on what can be fiddled with and the winners (at least where there's prize money involved) have to submit their motors for tech inspections, even in stock motor classes where they're factory sealed and the racers can't open them up to change anything. And just like the big cars, they sometimes get docked points and assessed fines for out of spec stock motors that're beyond their control. NASCAR is now a complete joke. They nailed a driver to the wall, took away points, huge fines, suspended the crew chief for six races - for having one connecting rod three grams under weight, in a sealed engine provided by Toyota, which the team was not allowed to do a thing to other than bolting it into the car. Should've been given a bonus for managing to win with an improperly balanced engine! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead.
