Its also FAR easier to get the WOT fuelling correct throughout the entire rev range on TB's you can have it literally perfect everywhere, with carbs you cant.
Carbs work well for a peak BHP figure, but they are massively more compromised at other load points.
I agree about fuel costs but its something that doesn't even cross my mind when it comes to track cars.
Been out in a few carbed cars before that were mentally fast on track and didn't once miss a beat
