[Land-speed] Fw: Test

They quote absolute pressure when using inches of mercury and actually a
better idea and a better way to express the relative load on the engine
using absolute numbers..  Though personally I like working in kilo
pascals or KPA 101.5 is one atmosphere so for all parcatical purposes
each is 1% of atmosphere and gets very  easy to thingk in those terms
after a bit.. It is also real handy to do and see a weather correction
for fuel..

 According to Gordon White's book "Offenhauser" at the end of the Offy
turbo  era (1976) they were running 115" of boost for qualifying and 85"
in the  race. I think that is approximately 58 and 44 pounds
respectively.  Jim in Palmdale
