The Texans are pressurized. PDF I knew they were certified for around 30,000 ft but they’re basically a fighter jet cockpit in a turboprop body so the pilots wear regular flight gear including masks. No sure way to tell for sure so I decided to look it up.

Any plane with a pressurized cabin will float for a little while. Pressurized cabins need to be mostly airtight to maintain pressure but usually leak slightly.

I did that on the first stage at Sno*Drift my first year competing there. It probably should have been a sign that I should take it easy. Fortunately, we got out and got the car behind us to slow down enough so they didn’t broad side me.

Cthulu but I got a good chuckle out of that.

Functional wing > decorative wing.

I’m sure there will be lots of hate on the wing. Personally, I like wings. Wings are awesome when they are functional because then they mean real racing.

M4 or ATS-V? The question will be asked by someone else eventually and I’d like to know your opinion. I was kind of surprised to see how much Sam Smith liked the ATS-V considering he’s a pretty hardcore BMW fan.

True story. I spent almost a week and a half writing code in Excel so to do a task it took me about an hour to do manually. Why? So that I wouldn't have to do it manually more than once.

I’ve got a buddy with a ZL-1 Camaro. We’ll go tip to tip and compare girth...

The more I read about this car the more it starts to feel like it’s the type of car for people who go “I don’t need that shit”. I spent about an hour looking at dealer photos of 4cs from around the country (cars.com) and every little bit reminds me of my race car. I can't wait.

Neither of those planes are Jayhawks.

Not really car suspension but very common in the truck market. Behold, rubber spring walking beam suspension. Really any walking beam suspension. The intent is to evenly distribute load between the rear tandem axles. Supposedly, the rubber springs provide a good enough ride. See the video and it shows a little bit of…

I was totally thinking exactly the same thing.

That game was awesome. My mom got so mad when she found out part of the game was to run over as many pedestrians as possible.

In that case, petition your congressmen to change the law because the automotive OEMs are just following the rules.

Actually, the race engineers that I've spoken with really like TPMS because it's one less thing that they have to do manually in the pits. You can monitor tire pressure in real time and adjust it as necessary throughout the race without having to check each tire with a gauge.
