That's not a big "IF". In Formula Vee, the equation is that a 7 pound
reduction equals adding one horsepower to our sewing machines.

Derek,
You DO realize that Chuck Christ has effectively DOUBLED his
horsepower, don't you? If (a big IF), 100lb = 10 hp, and Chuck lost 250
lb-which is probably close, then he effectively "gained" 25hp...which is
about what his Singer Sew.... er, SAAB "engine" produces...... So watch
out, Chuck now has 50hp...
