Houndog:

Parts, great post. As far as great innovators and thinkers in this game I would like to add to your list Huey Mahl. Although he is known for his money management writings; his book The Race Is Pace is often overlooked.

Mike, I have his length variant software that your always welcomed to:
The program was written by George Green who wrote SpeedPlus and Hedgehog.

It's sad to say but most of the good, innovative stuff was copied.
It was just a way for the marketers to make money.

Lots of concepts with many different names that added up to the same basic numbers.
Keep in mind that numbers will be expressed in many different ways but bottom line is that Energy and Velocity do not give the numbers any different or inherent value. Actually, a lot of match up people are going back to the "raw" numbers.

This is not a game for the followers because the followers are in the majority. The majority and then some will be, at any given race track and on any given day. losers.

This is my opinion and to me the facts and truth dictate.
So I'll apologize in advance if I slighted anyone or bursted anyones proverbial bubble.
