While not insanely cold it is 28 dF here this morning. Cold enough for me for sure. What kind of updates are being done on the roadster? My roadster, the Sunbeam (yeah, it was called a roadster by the manufacturer), is getting a custom made aluminum sea for my big butt which will lower me about 5 inches and that will require cutting the cage loose and lowering it also. Reworking teh brake pedal and throttl eto accomodate that change. Oops forgot to say that the wind screen will change as well as the instrument panel. Then I tackle the front of the car with some "bolt on" aero changes which I have yet to figure out. So I will be busy as well. And yeah, me too, likely to be only a spectator this coming year. mayf worlds fastest sunbeam. period. On 11/25/2010 12:54 PM, Chris Harris wrote: > Hey, anything going on out there is lsr land?

Look at the oversize end counterweights and they work fine . While the piston and rods are changing speed the crank is underbalanced . When the piston speed is constant they're over balanced .

I think global warming is a big waste of my time. One of two events will take place. 1) The temps. keep going up because we have not evolved to a high enough level that will allow us to get together and reduce CO2 levels. End result, extension of the human race. 2) The temps. keep going up due to normal natural causes. End result, extinction of the human race. After all, 99% of everything that ever lived on our planet has become extinct. Earth is not very friendly to living things. Is it really happening? No! The reason it looks like it is simple. In some places the melting point of ice has changed from 32dF to 20-25 dF. In other areas the growing plants have just evolved so that they can start blooming earlier in the spring when the days are shorter and the temps are colder. Also temperature measuring instruments are being affected by Dark Energy which makes them read artificially high. Especially around glaciers. The electric car nonsense is just another example of why we need to evolve further up the ladder of life to survive as a species.

I was just looking through my "journal" and came up with some interesting statistics. It took me five years to reach my goal. It cost $31,000 in car parts. It took eleven trips to the races. I didn't keep records on the cost of the trips to the races, but I'm sure it's over $10,000. I bought a truck and trailer, but since they see other service, I didn't even figure them into the cost of the quest. The fever started at 115, then progressed through 149, 151, 157, 158, 171, 178, 194, 195, 199 and finally reached 200. Was it worth it? Well, let me put it this way, every time I glance over at my 200 hat hanging on the wall, a smile speads across my face that takes about an hour to go away. I will never forget the course workers jumping up and down, giving me the thumbs up, and holding up the magic two fingers. I will never forget my wife jumping out of the tow truck at the finish line with a giant smile and a 200 time slip. Was it worth it? Absolutely!

We started the quest in 2000 and have made I don't know how many passes. We've made at least one event every year since 2000 and sometimes two. I don't even think about the cost of engines, but with records in AA, A, B, C, and D, you can guess (but don't tell my wife)! Truck and trailer, check. And you did it with just $31K? You must be lucky AND smart! Years ago with the B engine, there was that oh-so-close pass of 198... This year, we finally made the big red brick go over 200 and crushed the AA record at 213.490. Satisfying indeed, but there is just a couple of more little things that need to get done... I guess that is why we stay in the battle!

I was just looking through my "journal" and came up with some interesting statistics. It took me five years to reach my goal. It cost $31,000 in car parts. It took eleven trips to the races. I didn't keep records on the cost of the trips to the races, but I'm sure it's over $10,000.
