Police later found among the wreckage the "calling card" of a Colorado organized crime syndicate known for often violent coercion to maintain market share in the state. Local witnesses — most of whom are customers of the group — refused to answer questions, simply stating that accidents like this are what happens

Not sure if you're reading today Mr. Glickenhaus, but you have no idea how inspiring this is. To see a dark horse come in and make an all out attempt for ANY prestige 24hr race, much less the Ring, is just awesome. To see someone do it with both feet in the future, but an eye to the past, such as you've done... Well,

somehow we have to beat back against the darkness of T9 English.

If thoust lookest closely, with one regard, perchance one may find the subject of thy query direct upon the prow of craft. Yea, at the tip of the what in these tymes hast been denoted, the quoth nose cone unquoth.

It was probably the raccoon so that you'd get rid of the squirrels.

The age old battle of science vs engineering.

Honestly, Bernie may have thought of this, and have some form of robo-Bernie to continue his reign.

In a reed valve motor, crankcase resonant frequencies are less important. In a non reed valve motor, much more so. i.e. Some older 2S bike engines were just as happy to run backwards as forwards.

Helmholz resonator, look it up. Physically, the two are the exact same principal. The formulas take fluid density, temperature & pressure as variables.

I had a squirrel completely fill a muffler with acorns. every time I floored it the car would shoot acorns out and for years until I sold it you could hear them rolling around back there. The exhaust would have a nutty smell after a good long highway run.

Look on the bright side, J-nik hipster cred just shot way up.

Interestingly, the marine engine I posted about below works rather differently to the description above. Instead of sucking in air below the piston, compressing it and and transferring it above the piston air is blown in above the piston by a super- or turbocharger and then pushes the exhaust gases out through valves

Thanks for posting this up! My HS 'industrial arts' teacher Mr. Chuck Hineing couldn't have said it better himself...although he did have a nifty transparent 2 cylinder 2 stroke engine that let us watch the whole process in real time.

Just throwing this in, the crankcase is the equivalent intake resonant chamber to the exhaust's expansion chamber. The chamber & "neck" volume determine where in the rpm range the resonance will help "force" intake & "suck" exhaust through the cylinder. Read up on Helmholz resonance if you want the real physics behind

I can't even begin to comprehend how new technology makes some people forget the basics.

Oh, they scale up. And how.

But I want mach 3 on a regular basis.

we need a nice top ten single engine fighters on a budget list, or a"which mrap fits my personality" quiz. stat!

Perhaps a Ferrari-branded fire extinguisher. Or Ferrari extinguisher if one wants to save on the costs of pesky vowels.

Where have a seen that before?
