About the book >.>.> SOME SCOFFERS may argue otherwise but there is really very little doubt that “racing improves the breed.” Competition work in any of its many forms greatly accelerates the development of new ideas and is also a tremendous force in refining existing features. Proving-ground tests have their value to be sure but they should be regarded as a companion to not a sub- stitute for the rigors of a hotly-contested speed or endurance event. Some very plausible arguments have been advanced to support the theory that all conditions can be duplicated on the dynamometer or test track and this may indeed be so. However just as a matter of strict historical fact companies having the benefit of competition experience have shown a much faster rate of technical progress than those who restrict them- selves to the sheltered and sanitary atmosphere of their own proving grounds.
