<VV> RE:Speedometer, was gas mileage

[Marc Sheridan]

Lon mentions that he has no speedometer because there is no where to plug it 
in on a late drive train.

My bicylcle has a speedometer on it that weighs virtually nothing. It 
consists of a magnet that rotates with the wheel and a pick up that sends 
the signal to the tiny computer that converts it into a number. It can be 
recalibrated, in a matter of seconds, for whatever size wheel you have. Have 
any of you adapted a similar type speedometer for use on your Corvair? Why 
don't they use something like this on NASCAR race cars instead of whining 
about pit lane speed limits?
