Traction Control

now if they only put the gear shifter back in F1

I think the whole point is to prevent them from getting out of whack in the first place SD. What you are describing is what prolly happened to EBoz in the firt SB race.

Well, if you have an upper level TC system, you can dial in how much spin you want.  The OEM based stuff isn't going to allow that much spin. 

While I think TC is cute and interesting, it's the have and have not problem that I don't like.  Cost. 

Did anyone forget how TC existed before it was AMA legal?  But it was done in a way that didn't require direct wheel speed, so, I guess, it was within the rules.  One can definitely recognize that there is a speed of engine acceleration that would be too fast given that one has a bike, a rider, and traction.  Just a matter of developing the fuel and ignition to recognize that.

Bazzaz is developing a system with the Jordan team that would incorporate a quick shifter-an fuel control system and traction control. I first heard about it this past weekend at Miller - then read about it in the new RoadRacing World. It sounds like they are trying to make a system that is affordable for people "with" a budget - unlike the stuff that only the factories can afford. From what it sounds like in the article - Yates may have this system but he's not using what the full on factories are using.
