vexing qwextions
Friday, May 30th, 2008Why did I post twice about the track race this Sunday?
Who wants to help a professional team with race support during Nature Valley? If you volunteer and are totally cool enough then you will get some awesome schwag!
Sunday track racing

Schedule:
200m TT
5km Scratch race
1km Time Trial
Miss and Out
15km Points Race
5 PM start time. Entry Fee: $5 in addition to normal training session fee (which is $10/night or $100 seasonal). Cash proceeds go to a stipend for our volunteer ‘official’ and the rest goes to the track. Bring a paper race number to wear - from another race.
86" gear limit (48×15 or 51×16) for all events. NO AERO/CARBON RACE WHEELS, this is just a "for-fun" and "training" event. If a minimum of 5 women/juniors show - we’ll run a second category.

More F1
Friday, May 30th, 2008The video of which jkruse mentions:
Entertaining stuff. Most people have no idea how complicated these cars really are.
By the year 2013 all cars racing in the FIA are mandated to be hybrid powered by both rechargeable and fuel sources. Formula One cars will be moving that direction next year with the introduction of a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) that will capture energy normally dissipated as heat during braking. This energy will be stored in the car, electrically or mechanically, for use as additional power at the drivers discretion.
Liberal Bias
Friday, May 30th, 2008Obama gets the name wrong on the concentration camp his uncle helped liberate during World War II and the press goes ape shit, but John McCain gets away with this quote:
Many believe all we need to do to end the nuclear programs of hostile governments is have our president talk with leaders in Pyongyang and Tehran, as if we haven’t tried talking to these governments repeatedly over the past two decades.
We’ve been negotiating with Iran for the past two decades?
No, we haven’t.
Care to guess the media backlash if Obama made such a statement?
It’s bad enough that McCain does not seem to know what is going on in the world. The fact that the press is giving him a free pass makes it even worse.
Expert more of the same.
