Pretty simplistic and inaccurate. The US designers were busy providing an ICBM solution to the national leadership - that worked. Many people over look the facts that the early Soviet ICBM - the R-7, had issues with reentry - it had a habit of breaking upon reentry in testing.

Many sources state that he had lost control of all hardware design many years before his death. The fight over engines and the type of fuel used was never in his control. He was stuck using what he was ordered to use as delivered from Kuznetsov. Each Soviet center had their own political support that he couldn’t…

‘An orderly shutdown of the engines was begun, which sounds easy enough. Of course, because this was the Soviet Union and the N1, it didn’t exactly go according to plan. Instead of shutting down, one of the liquid oxygen pumps of course exploded.’

Yes they would have because you allow the boards to slide on the ground instead of the wheels until the tires get onto the alum deck where they slide quite easily.

Talk about amateur hour here. You do not use those damn metal ramps for prototypes or even GTE’s. We bring in P2's and lowered exotic’s all the time at CTMP (Mosport) and your truck has a selection of wood slats and boards that you pull these machines onto until the front splitter clears the deck and the front wheel…

You will tear up the trans-axle and I can guarantee any tow truck driver doing that will get pounded by the team.

You don’t pronounce it that way. It’s pronounced Y_Raw believe it or not. It’s named after a Spanish trade wind. His Zonda model is named after an Argentinian wind.

Sorry - missed the Mexico connection in your comments. ;)

Your evidence is ‘probably’??

We don't fucking care what you like. Now run along and watch PBS wanker.

That’s true but there were many other examples of their incompetence as well as a rumored demand for an increase in funding (from IMS) that may have been the tipping point.

Not that I’m religious - but *if* there is a God - this POS whom murdered three people will hopefully meet his dismise inside prison in a most painful way as possible.

I’m very sorry to have to respond to you that I will be unable to attend your party as I will be busy watching the race in person. :) Shall I post photo’s here for you, (I have WiFi access)?

The key to this whole project is what took place in the boardroom of GM. In an effort to keep the Buick engine from continuing to blow up - GM lobbied the deadwood at USAC to rewrite their rule book eliminating the word ‘stock’. That single revision was the key that Mario Illien used to convince Penske he could build…

F3 run 102 octane - it burns like any other oxygenated fuel - it isnt special and it doesnt burn ‘blue’ in colour unless an additive has been added. Even E85 burns a light(er) yellow. The only fuels I’ve seen burn blue were variations of fuel made by VP Racing as well as fuels also burning nitous. In the CART era the…

This is the THIRD time he has done this, (post race drivers *only* room). This is the only race that allows this to happen - ‘because dictator’. Bernie bends over every year for this creep and escorts him around like a waddling penguin. At best, most GP’s he glad hands the VIP’s on the grid and then stands for the…

Yes. His name is Klaus Abbelen. The couple were featured on a segment of the TV show ‘Timber Kings’ where they traveled to BC to have a custom made log home/hotel built and then delivered to Germany for assembly. Her husband is heir to a food business (meat) and was also a racing driver that ran in the VLN series with…

Should be the ‘collective in chief’. ;)

Slept his way to the top. But he has a good personality...

Isn’t easier to take out one fat guy in a mysterious explosion? I’m sure several of his Generals, (whom last 1-2 years before being murdered) wouldn’t object...
