We were at Barber this past weekend. Full weekend of racing featuring Grand Am, Sports Cars, Star Mazda, Indy Lights and IndyCar. The grounds are STUNNING. They also have a museum that houses the world's largest collection of motorcycles and Lotus race cars.
Barber is the Augusta National of road courses. It should be on the Must Drive List for anyone that loves a challenging road course.
Here are pics from the weekend:

Cool shots, thanks. How was Ed Carpenter's weekend?

Wow. I wasn't aware they went up that much in just a few years. Its not like your going to fine one with 20,000 miles on it. Im not sure there is one that even exists in the world with more than 12,000 miles. 
There are several in the 30-50k miles range. Nick Mason's (Pink Floyd drummer) F40 has 100,000 on it reportedly.

You should find out how to email that picture to Danica. She seems to have a bit of a humorous side.

Gee, wonder how the crooks found out that he had one of these in his house?
That is a valid point about sharing like he does. The article was his idea, but he takes that bike to all kinds of meets and shows, it was even on display at the Guggenheim Museum. To bad someone took such brash advantage of his generosity. Most people have never seen a Cyclone, now I suspect the last few will become even more reclusive.

Jeff's Cyclone in the article just got stolen from him during a home invasion.
Be on the lookout for any suspicious parts out there, and help spread the word to your motorcycle friends. Engine serial Number 1040 A.

Of course it would work well for a British vehicle because whenever fluorescent square motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with the drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal depleneration.
But you need to remember the Z is Japanese, thus a barescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in conjunction with a drawn non-reciprocating dingle arm to increase sinusoidal depleneration.
There lies the difference between British and Japanese engineering. Let's not even get started on the French and Italian stuff and how they dealt with modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive directance.

I don't know Mark. I mean I see your point. but is seems like an overly simplistic, risky approach void of standard redundencies prevelent in sound horizontal based pressure applications. I'd sure like to hear another opinion before I'd try that on my car. Anyone? Dan??

Oh, its just around behind the side in front of the dingle arm. That should make it obvious now.
Completely obvious now, thanks. What if you incorporated a base-plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible trem'e pipe to the differential girdlespring on the 'up' end of the grammeters.
Forty-one manestically spaced grouting brushes were arranged to feed into the rotor slipstream a mixture of high S-value phenylhydrobenzamine and 5% reminative tetryliodohexamine. Both of these liquids have specific pericosities given by P = 2.5C.n^6-7 where n is the diathetical evolute of retrograde temperature phase disposition and C is Cholmondeley's annular grillage coefficient. Initially, n was measured with the aid of a metapolar refractive pilfrometer, but up to the present date nothing has been found to equal the transcendental hopper dadoscope. This has been successfully used for operating nofer trunnions. In addition, whenever a barescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocating dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration.
This worked on my MG, BTW, and that car is British.

Bill...would you please turn the page for me? Thanks.
No need. Article ends there, the next page is just some old 83 Datsun ad...
