Re: Big Bore vs Big Stroke?
Not necessarily... the fun part is, if you have the same displacement but a longer stroke, the air has further to move to fill the cylinder because the distance to the farthest reaches of the chamber are longer.

Wanted: Shop space rent/share in Cleveland area
Hi, it's Pete... remember me? My motorsports aspirations have outgrown the shop access I've had at work. I'm looking for leads on renting a small commercial site or sharing an existing one with fellow gearheads. Also willing to help fab/repair/crew for road racers as is practical. (Have crewed for s...

Re: F1 FAIL!
I remember reading about this somewhere... The story at the time was that one corner had a failure, and the additional loading on the other corner caused it to fail as well. Things like that make me laugh when people talk about "FORMULA ONE TECHNOLOGY!". They design everything to be just s...

OK, this is interesting.... :shock: http://www.streetfire.net/video/crazy-tire-explosion_735628.htm Wonder what the date code is on that tire??? How fast do you think the trans was going?

The most fun roads locally follow rivers. Twisty, curvy, and hilly. The truckers like to fly through at 60mph (posted 45-55) and deer kind of hang out near rivers. It's not uncommon to see half a deer, then 1/8mi up the road, the other half. (Blech) Thinking about things like that make me reconsider...
