Brett, you speak the truth! :-) I got to the point on old Race Drivin'
where I could literally lap the autocross course almost infinitely... I
could stay on the thing for an hour or hour and a half once. If you'd
lap fast enough, you'd actually GAIN time back on that ticker limiting
your time... one lap there would be 10 seconds left at the s/f line,
about 5 laps later there would be 12! :-)
That was THE best FF and physics at the time... well done.
