The Hayseed's two-bits worth: Aero drag and horsepower produced by a gas aspirated engine vary exactly the same with change of air density. At zero density aero drag is zero and HP is zero. rolling r

I was talking to one of the ThrustSSC people and he was convinced, as the result of research at the British Museum where they have all of the LSR cars, that rolling resistance has always been underes

It has seemed to me that most every car i have worked on went slower in the morning return run than they qualified and to go with that most went faster in the late afternoon return runs when they had

Thanks for that snippet, Bryan. I'd seen pictures of the shock wave and another of how it pulverized to soil, but I didn't think about the car rolling through the "plowed field." Interesting. Dale C.

I'll do a bit of thinking on this. But there are several problems I can thnkof right off the bat, that will need to be ovecome. One is the rubber compound being used under the skid. Soft or hard wou

I would think there ought to be a way to measure moisture content electronically. Similar to a dielectric test i would think. How do they do it with wood i don't think they weight them and burn them

I can't tell from my mail whether my last note reached you-- about using either neutron backscatter or electrical resistance to measure salt moisture. Since then I realized that the "dielectric test

Thinking about it some more, the moisture in the salt that is.... I am wondering if the chemical composition is fairly constant in the area we race on or if it might vary from year to tear. If it doe

It seems to me that the easiest way to measure coefficient of friction of actual tires on salt is with a good accelerometer. Maximum acceleration (just before tire spin) could then be used to calcula
