The Bronco is gone but I kept the tunes however, I didn't have any intention of putting the big tunes in the new Burban.

Jake,
If you have access to PS2 try 24Hours of LeMans. They seem to have Road Atlanta down, and you can run it in anything from a GTS porsche to an LMP Audi or the PanozGTR1.

I'll agree with that. And it's cheap, too. Look in the "bargain bin".

Ray,

Does that mean you drink beer?

Gregg

[Greg Amy]

Define "drink"...

[bhudson]

Ty - check with the F&C chief of your region to see if crash & burn is required. Although we hold one in Atlanta Region, it's not required for a regional license. If you've got an active F&C license (or even a log book) and have a few races under your belt, you're welcome at the ARRC.

You know, speaking of beer, I'm starting to look into making my own. Maybe I'll bring a batch worth of a special "IT ARRC" brew.

Mmmm....Beer....

Bill,

Just do it for, oh, about the 2006 ARRC. My Dad started his own brewing years ago and it took him a while to get it right. It's very good now, but the first batch tasted like Yak urine.

Then again, why not? You do live in Milwaukee, and we always have the extra Coronas we can drink.

There will be extra Coronas, right? Or am I getting the impression that, among certain IT board members, there is no such thing as an "extra" Corona?

Yak urine??????

You know Gregg, I've decided I don't want to know how you have become familiar with that rare flavor....

I just hope you were in a frat in engineering school or something...Yak urine??

Jake, engineering students (been there, done that) are some kind of shall we say DIFFERENT but I would enjoy hearing Greg talk his way through this Yak Urine deal.

Well Greg, ??????????

***There will be extra Coronas, right? Or am I getting the impression that, among certain IT board members, there is no such thing as an "extra" Corona?***

On the other hand my father told me looooong ago that there is more beer in a tavern than I can drink. Tried to drink a couple dry .

Have Fun
David

Now ifen I drink enough that burn barrel & tarp might do the trick.

[gsbaker]

Gentlemen,

It's a figure of speech.

Speaking of engineers and beer, I recall my E school graduation party where the keg dispenser gizmo failed in the middle of about 40 thirsty, celebratory, freshly-minted gearheads. It was fixed faster than an F1 pitstop.

Gregg

[planet6racing]

You know, our Heat and Mass Transfer class final was one question:

You're at a party with a full keg of beer. It is half submerged in ice in a 0.125" thick plastic vessel. Temperature of the ambient air is 75ºF and will increase at a rate of 2ºF per hour. Humidity shall remain constant at 87%. Calculate the temperature of the first beer, the beer at half consumption, and the last beer.

There were more details (obviously), but it used everything we learned in that class!

Oh, and to move this back on topic, the homebrew stuff shows up next week. Hopefully I can master it in the early spring and have a pretty good selection of beers for the ARRC. I may even make some Hard Cider for the little woman...

Jake,

Are you talking about the place after 1 where you aim for the tree?

Yeah, like the specific heat of the plastic container and the aluminum keg but, most important, the rate of consumption!

[lateapex911]

@$#$ Gregg! You beat me to it! I was going to mention that he didn't say whether it was a party for a frat or a Catholic girls school! Which consuption rate would be higher, hmmm?

Tom, for a second I was confused by your "aim for a tree" comment, what with all the Yak urine talk around here.....

But I think you're referring too my RA comment. After you come down the front straight, you sweep right up the hill (turn 1), after exiting 1, you aim for the tree to position yourself for the left jog...presumably 2. Then you jump right, (over the berm?) and enter the esses. That right was unnoticed by me the first few laps, and remained my Achilles Heel for the duration. Drove right by it the first time, and never got the timing right consistantly.

The Catholic girls school, hands down.
