Okay,I havent bothered searching the forum for an existing topic on this topic. Be that,I'm interested to find out the geneology of electronics in motorsport.Granted, spark plugs and points and condensors are indeed electronic devices,however,Its when valves and transistors made an impact im more interested in...Was there ever a case a valve used in a race car for example?..apart from radio!
I remember years ago reading this book about fuel injection and in it was a reference about Bendix in the US trialing a vacuum tube electronic injection system on a Cadillac...apparently it worked.Car drove from the east to the west coast.However the system was way too bulky.
