Hi, Iqbal;

Follow this thread. If the Speed Machine Pac is the same as the Speed Machine II mentioned by Emmanuel, I believe (as I was also a bit lost at a first glance) that there a little misunderstanding about what is this module for.

Best regards.

I believe the RACETRACK and SPEED MACHINE II modules were Horse Race Handicappingf modules. I have both ROMS, the overlays for SPEED MACHINE II, and one manual (Speed MACHINE II, I think) in my collection. If you have any specific questions, I could check tthe ROMs or look at old EduCALC Catalogs.

Just looked at the 1985 EduCalc Catalog, Issue #29.

On Page 7:

Speed Machine II is Horserace Handcapping Program. "Tells you when and how to bet to maximize your returns on every dollar - combines fractional and final race times to select the top 4 horses in each race and tells you under what circumstances and at what odds to make your bet."
