We are considering a nuclear-powered entry under the Steam class.

Is this bad timing? :?

Don't know about the timing -- but your self-proclaimed reputation for blowing things up might get in the way.

After receiving a nasty call from the Sierra Club, we are considering making all our engine parts out of biodegradable materials.  Although we have been told our truck is purely BS (manure is bio-safe) by the peanut gallery, it currently mostly metal. :-(

EDIT:  Seriously though, we have never lost a part off the truck that we know of during LSR.  All my wounds have been internal or emotional ...

I really wish I was addicted to cocaine, it would be a much cheaper way to spend my free time.

During race season, someone stole my credit card.  I didn't report it because the thief was spending less than I was...   :-(

LOL Stan, you have such a way with words. LOL I don't even have a pigskin anymore, nothing ($$$$) to keep in it.

Oh, go ahead and fold it up. It's just nice to have some place to rant.

Last rant?

A week after the explosion, TEPCO went to the Fukushima prefecture and asks permission to start construction at that facility on new units #7 & #8.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

I've found it really interesting and informative. I think it's losing momentum anyway and unless something further of interest happens it will go the way of all the other subjects. It's definitely given a better insight than the normal news reports.

I think you are wrong. The worst has yet to happen.

Slim, thanks for letting this thread run, I have learned more about the issues here than anywhere on the web these last few weeks.  :cheers:

Slim, leave it going please. I for one find it a great read with better perspective and insight than most anything else I can find.
