Glen,
I've been doing just that with pertinent messages
that appear on this list. I started with a 3/4"
notebook, then went to a 1", now I'm using two
2 1/2" binders. I've put section separators in,
and refer to it often. I have sections on roll
cages, chassis design, hemis, SBC, rules,
classes, Maxton, Muroc, El Mirage, Bonneville,
brakes, transissions and gears, tires, motels,
the best routes to take to the tracks, salt
buildup, fuels, carburetors, nitrous, checklists,
etc. It is absolutely amazing the amount of
incredibly useful knowledge that has come out of
this list. It is the virtual "tree of knowledge"
for anybody who is into, or wants to get into,
Land Speed Racing. I'd publish the thing if I
could, but I'd have to get about three hundred
copyright waivers, and even then, I'd probably
miss somebody. I would strongly suggest anybody
who has not been doing the salt for forty years
or more put a book like this together.
