Fox helps drag racer win Microsoft Start Something Amazing Award

  • Article

It was very impressive to see a computer using FoxPro helping a 15 year old drag racer win competitions. When I started reading about it, I thought it must be some sort of simulation: don’t you have to be older to drive? Then I saw the video, which clearly showed it was not a car simulator.

    It's really sad that there is no mention of VFP in the post at

    It is sad that there is no mention, but my customer said he informed Bill Gates that it was designed with VFP. He chose the award and got a 30 minute demo by my customer. I wish I had known about it before the demo, I would have flown up to Seattle and made sure.

    Not many developers can say Bill Gates saw their FoxPro application so I am happy.

    In the July 2006 Reader's Digest magazine, page 190, there is a short but nice article on Jeannine Johnson.
