Aerodynamics and hydrodynamics have a lot of similarities.  So we can learn a lot from the boat guys when it comes to shapes.

Keep in mind watching this video that these boats weigh 7 TONS!

Moon Explosion Sparked By Meteorite Crash On Lunar Surface, NASA Says

 

The moon has a new hole on its surface thanks to a boulder that slammed into it in March, creating the biggest explosion scientists have seen on the moon since they started monitoring it.

The meteorite crashed on March 17, slamming into the lunar surface at a mind-boggling 56,000 mph (90,000 kph) and creating a new crater 65 feet wide (20 meters). The crash sparked a bright flash of light that would have been visible to anyone looking at the moon at the time with the naked eye, NASA scientists say.

"On March 17, 2013, an object about the size of a small boulder hit the lunar surface in Mare Imbrium," Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office said in a statement. "It exploded in a flash nearly 10 times as bright as anything we've ever seen before."

Deleted?  Deleted? just what are you implying?  How could that possibly happen?  We would never ever delete something like that!  would we?

Its all good!  Its all good!

I'm thinking i'm challenging the claim for Bio. Seems my initial claim has been deleted.

Re :   2013 Race #3

The video from the back of Tygrys' car shows BioHazard starting to roll just before we start the count down.  Japster in the Monte Carlo is sideways in the road behind BioHazard and the DW1386X is WAY back in the next county!  Race Face was pretty much where he belonged.

Boy I miss Arthur!

If we would have had a tighter start, the finish would probably have been different.  Those cars starting way back definately hurt their finishing positions.

Re :   2013 Race #3

---

Agreed, front row was lined up, you did jump in and out, everyone behind position 4 was confused. Might be interesting to video review exactly who rolled off in what position. I'm not complaing, and doubt you [Jerm] are either, it was what it was. We all survived and now have a rule in place, Dead Man Position.

Re :   2013 Race #3

While we're recounting the events at the starting line, Doc Hudson, remember I had time to not only line myself up and get buckled in the first time, but I unbelted and got out of my kart to help move people out of the way when the truck came by.  then I ran all the way to the back of the grid to get people off the side of the road who couldn't move and nobody else had bothered to help, came back, got belted in AGAIN, and was still the first other person up at the new starting where Jola was, and then helped her get into position before anyone else had gotten there.  it looks like Raceface in the star scream was able to make it up to the starting line as quick as the rest of the first row.
