Question about Racing my AutoMagic...
I keep reading about how Overdrive should be turned off while racing, I read a little about the technical aspect of what this function does, but I still am not clear on how exactly having Overdrive set to off helps in a race. Could you guys fill me in??

As long as you keep the car floored, it won't kick in until you're going pretty fast anyway...(prob. around 80-90 or so). When it kicks in you'll feel a loss of power, so if you're going to race to like 100mph or something, you'll probably want to shut it off...
