I've been known to send up a dust cloud myself..........youngster.

Evening Pete.

There's no snow in that picture.

[Rick V]

No but it did rain like hell on the way over there and Lanna was not happy playing hydro-car at highway speeds

I went to the book store and they knew nothing about the Controls lab manual, so I emailed the professor and he directed me to another professor's webpage where the manual was posted. So I downloaded a pdf and did not have to buy it from the book store. Cool!

Now I have to decide whether I want to buy the $190 textbook for the lecture section. I think I could get by without it. It would be a pain to have to go to the library all the time if she starts assigning homework from the book and not just made-up problems. The vibes book was one that she did not think was very good on most counts and we never followed the book in lecture but we did have homework problems from it. I have it still. It is a good reference I suppose. They derived their equations of motion with energy methods rather than Newton's Laws, so I can see an alternative method to get the equations.

The Controls stuff seems pretty straightforward and I think the lecture material will be sufficient for me.

I can always buy it and take the depreciation hit but recoup some cost by selling it back to the boockstore next year.

The lab manuals are usually cheap like $20 but not re-salable to the bookstore.

Hey Dave, how goes the pilot thing?

[Flieger]

Those holes cost extra.

[porsche4life]

He added this holes for lightness. Rick is faster now because of those holes.

[RKDinOKC]

If holes make you faster, I've got some high speed underwear in the drawer.

[porsche4life]

We can live without proof of that claim....

I am in the medical device industry but background as a nurse.

I make aerial maps. Our office has been in business since 1947. We have aerial photos of Oklahoma going back to then. We fly for new photos as well.

[GH85Carrera]

Good night guys.

[RKDinOKC]

Didn't say was proud enough to show em off. The fastest pair does have skid marks!

[porsche4life]

Jeans are the only garments I own in which holes are acceptable.... Socks or underwear get pitched the moment a hole is present....

[RKDinOKC]

That's just wasteful.

Gotta present a classy act for the wimmenz....

This year's Formula Hybrid competition is in Louden, New Hampshire. The standard gasoline class has regional and national comps. The Western is in Fontana I believe, and the national is in Nebraska because the track is cheaper apparently. Next year Formula Hybrid/Electric is moving there as well.

Apparently there is a large area of concrete that can be made into a great autocross course. I don't think there are any tracks there.

When I think Nebraska I think of an endless, flat field of corn. Now I guess there is an end to the corn and a start to the vast expanse of flat concrete.

At leat the shipping should be cheaper and quicker to Nebraska than going to NH by way of Boston like this year.

Why can't we just have it at Laguna Seca? This competition is perfect for Laguna. Electric = no fear about the noise Nazis.
