I also agree that diesels can be made reliable and powerful, but for a
given displacement, they put out less power than a gasoline powered
engine.  One other point about diesels that comes to mind every time I
end up behind one is that the soot in diesel exhaust is carcinogenic,
and I think that we could do with as little of such compounds as
possible.
     Congrats on your success at the track!  But first in acceleration?
Good grief, what were you up against?

				      Happy Travels!
