Whoa! Sorry, but F1 races aren't fuel limited. For the last couple of
years, they have allowed refueling. In addition, all F1 races are 190-215
miles in length NOT 500! They also go a LOT slower (not picking on F1,
they are amazing technorockets--and who knows how fast they might go on a
big oval).
