Had to quote this because my only crap can racing experience was in a couple buddy's 80's Mustang 4 cylinder where after about 4 laps the ECU would start turning down the rev limiter to the point we couldn't rev the motor at all anymore, but a quick flick of the kill switch to reset the ECU on a straight and we were back in business for another 4 laps. Unfortunetly, it took us the entire 8 hour race on Saturday to figure that out. I blamed it on them thinking that removing many engine sensors and "uneccessary wiring" was a good idea for weight savings. I told them reliablility and predictability are way more important in endurance racing than performance.
