From saltfever at comcast.net Tue Dec 1 13:34:48 2009 From: saltfever at comcast.net (Kirkwood) Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 12:34:48 -0800 Subject: [Land-speed] Land-speed Digest, Vol 3, Issue 292 Message-ID: <000b01ca72c5$ba446a10$2ecd3e30$@net> Mark: I get the DIGEST so that process may be corrupting some of your good intentions. (1) There is NO link for donations below. (2) The "Check it out" link fails and reports back "unknown address". Below is exactly what I received in the DIGEST (minus the header information I removed). I have mentioned this before. It appears your donation-link appears in individual emails (others have emailed it to me) but it gets stripped out of the DIGEST format. I enjoy this list and your DIGEST format. It is quick, clean and simple. However, forums offer better tools for communication like text embellishment (bold, underline, etc) as well as attachments. I find a forum takes more time but content seems to be richer with the inclusion of attachments. I would favor a forum if all of the tools were available.(Subscription to individual threads, text embellishment (don't care about emoticons), and especially attachments. Otherwise, stay with the current list.

I like this list because it's a mailing list. I also use a forum (that a lot of others on this list use too) at http://www.landracing.com/forum/. That forum is already established and has a large user base with lots of information. If this list evolves into a forum, I probably won't use it at all as I don't have time to look through two forums on the same topic.

It is a plus in my book that this crap didn't stick and it will warm above freezing tomorrow. One day in a row is enough for me! So, I have a couple of the Cold Fire bottles from Diest that need to be hydrostated. Does anyone know if it can be done by a local fire extinguisher place or do I need to ship them off. I talked to the guys where I get other bottles done and they seemed kinda iffy about it. Was it Lee Kennedy that ended up with Diest's stuff and if so, ccan he re-cert these bottles?

Tonight's low is forecast to be about 10F, tomorrow night 6F. I was going to make a rude comment about thin-blooded wimps that live in certain southern climes, but I decided against it. I'm just the list admin, I rarely participate in any conversations. I'd hate to offend anyone that doesn't know my style and sense of humor, they might think I was being serious. By the way, the shrimp and sausage soup with garlic rolls turned out to be a really nice dinner: http://www.cheftalk.com/forums/recipes/57664-shrimp-sausage-soup.html Anyway, for those of you suffering cold winds, rain and snow, think back to blistering sun coming from all directions on a hot, dry summer afternoon on the flats.

Still have the 1956 Oshkosh Snow plow? Mike Thanks for asking, Mike. It's a '54/'55 not a '56, although at this age it doesn't matter. It's both 54 and 55 according to the various documentation I've got. As for "Do I still have it?" -- well, not really, but sorta. I "gave" it to the mechanics that have maintained it over the years -- because I don't have much use for it other than as a conversation piece. I still have the title. If you were to come here for a visit I'd certainly arrange for you and me to go to Yelle Mechanical (the shop) and take it for a spin. I assure you it's a once-in-a-lifetime ride.

You are clearly guilty enough without anyone proving it to be deprived of everything you own. But this is not the American way!! It's unconstitutional!! Sorry kiddies.

More volume because of steam or less volume because cooler air? Thanks Rick Yacoucci Ask Terry Kizer and Sam Wheeler. They spray water that's been through the intercooling system on the #999 'liner - into the exhaust system. It protects the fiberglass directly behind the exhaust outlet -- and they may have other reasons for the water injection, too. Last summer the water spray failed - and there was damaged skin right behind the outlet.

Certainly the mass of the exhaust will increase with any amount of water injection and I think the volume will also increase unless you inject a whole lot of water. But why do it? Any thrust increase you get will be minimal compared to the horsepower you're already making.

So were looking for a way to cool the seats down. I was thinking of spraying water at high pressure directed at the valve. We tried this on a normally aspirated 52hp junior dragster motor (flathead) and saw up to a 25% reduction in cylinder head temp With only a 2% loss in power.

It a crack develops then it's a torch. Go with the side exhaust.

This will give you speedweek to look at the new cars and how they are tested and what works for them.

Chris Harris.............NZed. Subject: RE: Fawcett's LSR Car The car and all the support equipment has been mothballed into 2-50-foot trailers and is stored in a Reno, Nevada mattress warehouse by Steve Fossettbs widow who will give it to you as soon as you deposit 3 million dollars in her bank account. I had been asked to sell the projectbs assets, but when I was told the price was not negotiable I thanked her for the opportunity and bid farewell to the white elephant. Now two years idle and the team scattered that renovated the car for supersonic speed trials, anyone who buys the deal will need to disassemble everything to learn what they have, what works and what needs updating. What a complete waste of time, talent and hope. I helped build this car with Breedlove and he broke my heart when he started acting like a hippie head case then hope renewed with Steve who then flies himself into a mountainside to dash my hopes. Now the Brits are stoically marching back to the measured mile with Bloodhound and while I think the goal is insane, I know the four guys at the nucleus of the insanity very well and fear that if they catch a lucky funding break, the United States can kiss off any chance of EVER getting the world record back home. BTW using gas in the jet was no problem b those engines can run on sludge if tuned properly.
