Message	like a million years or something. This leads to a homogenous gravitational field all around planet earth. In such a gravitational environment, localized accelerations are smoothed out, and everything moves at about the same speed. This would explain why I saw John Force run a 12.92 @ 110 last night on ESPN 2. He claimed it had something to do with him forgetting to freeze his intercooler, but I know the truth. You can by a flux capacitor from APC that will solve this problem. Simply apply it to the bumper cover to ensure the entire car is enveloped in a modified gravitational field.
