Received wisdom here is that Michele blew the world away two years in a row, 
setting new ladies' and absolute records.  The next year Walter Roerhl set a 
record that still stands.

Whatever - we know where Michele is, and we know where the car is.  Wouldn't it 
be fun to bring them all together again?  How much more fun would it be to give 
Michele the same technology (specifically the auto-clutch microswitch) that 
Walter Roerhl had - and see how fast Michele would be?
