I SAID I was going...

 

^ saying don't mean chu gonna show up.

 

being so close to tday might screw me. we just had to put in schedule requests for september to January and im allowed to request one weekend off (i have to work every other)

 

Has anyone read about Elon Musk's Hyperloop? It says its going to transport people at 700 and something mph with the acceleration force of 1g "for rider comfort".

How much horsepower would you need in a car to reach 1g in linear force on acceleration?

1g of linear force would be very cool but for the general public it's obviously way too much.

 

1 g is not so bad. Lay down on your back, that's one g.

 

I thought 1g would be double your body weight

 

Apparently I don't fully understand g forces.

 

If your boost gauge reads 1 bar, is that 14.5 psi or 29 psi.

 

My boost gauge doesn't read below 29.5psi, why you ask?

Because bauce!

 

1g is the equivalent of gravity.

 

Since you guys didn't come down to watch the Lemons race you wouldn't know how awesome it was. 140 cars on Thunderbolt. There were cars that could turn laps in the 1:44-2:00 range all day long and there were cars that couldn't break the 2:50 barrier with a strong tailwind.

We fielded three cars, the #903 Integra, the #902 E30, and my #901 E36. The E30 was in the top-5 pretty much the entire race. The Integra was in the top-20 overall (and top 5 in class). The E36 made it into the top-30 on Saturday (we started seven laps down due to penalties), but never had a chance to really climb the leader board becuase some d-bag in a Pustang overcooked the Devil's Elbow and needed eight wheels to make the corner--four of them being mine. Was the hardest hit I've ever taken in a race car. Put a big dent in the right front just behind the wheel and broke the rear wheel on the right side....we pitted to repair damage and got back out pretty quickly but already lost another 4-5 laps.

Our next driver overcooked T1 a little later and ripped the front bumper cover off our car on another car. Not a bif deal except the bumper cover sat on the outside of T1 for four hours. Again, not a big deal except our transponder was attached to the bumper that was sitting on the outside of T1. Timing and scoring gave us laps based on our previous average time, but we never got all of them back.

Sunday we were in "support-the-902" mode. Run interference, break up traffic, and the like so they could battle for the overall lead. The E30 held the lead for a while later in the day, then had an off and that cost us a few laps, giving the lead over to the eventual race winner. 30 minutes to go in the race and the E30 developed a misfire so we parked it. Still finished P11.

is the video from part of my Sunday session[/ame]. Easily the most fun I've ever had in a race car.

We ended up P31 (of 68 in class) and P44 (of 140 overall). The Integra finished P20 overall and P4 in class even though it got parked for the last hour when one of our drivers became a raging efftard and sped through the pits--he will not be invited back to drive with us.

 

And chu still pointing meh by.

Because Weakass.

 

Yes.

1 barg = 14.5psig = 29.2 psia

I thought chu was pro? Pro would know dis.

 

Does that consider atmospehric pressure?

 

It was a rhetorical question for the noob
