A picture I took in 2011 at Mid Ohio of Justin getting set up for his car. it’s the weekend he got hurt running wide of turn 1. Just another fellow racing a car. Take care Justin, and care to all that you have known...

Agreed on the flat spotting. Sidewall looked fine till it landed again, and the video showed he did lock it up during the spin.

Here is the google earth location and view of the what appears to be the storage location. What is green and goes boom?

With the billions they have, what’s stopping Iran from buying a nuke or 2 from North Korea.?

Debbie Rahal at the track. Somehow mom at Mid Ohio watching her boy win, just like years ago is pretty neat.

A cheap source for a fan could be from any home HVAC contractor. Chances are you can get a centrifugal style furnace fan for free. out of their scrapped furnace pile. Every time they throw away a furnace, they throw away the fan. These fans are typically 1200 to 1600 cfm and are designed to work with pressure and I

I’ve used Mobil 1 for 25 years in race cars. Never had a oil related failure. Never seen bearing or bore wear at rebuilds. I change my race oil once a year for 5 sprint races. (integra type r).

Oh I think the Alfa Romeo Indy effort sounds like a candidate. 20th fastest, started 19th finished 15th first Indy 500 race, never podium’d. Soooo pretty, broke a lot of hearts though.....

He’s moving on to bigger things. I see one of these in Bo’s future...

Just read Shunkworks, by Ben Rich. Great insights to the development of U2, RS (oops I mean SR71) and stealth fighter. It’s 20 years old but worth the read. Thanks to Tyler whom recommended it.

Ooh, bad answer. I am amazed that the compressor ran at all. I would have expected the unit’s high pressure switch to trip disabling the compressor seconds after it turned on. By the way, jumper out the high pressure switch and you will split the condenser. Don’t ask me how I know.

You have to get the air out for the system for it to work.

What is the story of the door piller? It appears there is peeling paint and rust? Not original carpet, could this be a flood recovery car?

Ford “Eco Burst”

They comng right up, they will be glad to take your money!!! KRZ

My thoughts exactly. Though I would probably opt for the 200 hp si. The car has to live with wisconsin winters and roads. Not exactly trpe r freindly.....

My uncle, owner of many diesels when asked about the volvo 6 said it’s an unloved engine and in the home country was described as “hitler’s revenge”.....

Yehaaaa!

Here's the in car for the MX-5. Its at the end of what was till then a great race. As I recall, they were 15 minutes or so from the end.

Notice both brakes locked as soon as he swerved. He knew he was going for a ride. I expect it was mechanical. Reminds me of the MX-5 at Sebring in 2014. That was a toe link failure. I think this was too.
