This will trickle down, and make for better quality in many respects.F1 uses a hybrid as well.

That’s cool, made back when craftsmen used innovation to make tools to get the job done!! Granddad was a blacksmith, still have his forge, anvil and hand made tools back on the home farm in Wisconsin.
Two completely different races. It’s easy enough to get 7 minutes of balls-out battery power. It’s entirely different to ask an endurance team to get 24hrs of balls-out power, reliability, & ease of in-race maintenanceWait, what?

Unlimited
Anything goes[tone] in the Unlimited Division as long as it passes safety inspection and meets the PPIHC's general rules. The Unlimited Division features the most exotic vehicles, most of them built specifically for this race. These race cars have the best chance of setting a new overall race record. In 2018, Romain Dumas set a new record of 7 minutes 57.148 seconds in the all-electric Volkswagen I.D. R Pikes Peak, beating Sébastien Loeb's previous record by over 15 seconds.[30]
Ballad of Buster Scruggs…. Collection of rather sad and sordid western tall tales. A good movie actually… just kinda depressingWhat movie was this, my old brain can’t recall?
So, the 24 hour races are the only measure of a true race car? Do they not refuel in 24 hour races? It won't be long for battery changes to hit the pit lanes and battery performance is increasing exponentially every year. It's coming and it's not because of the environment. Don't get me wrong though, to me there's nothing better than the sound and smell of a two stroke motorcycle engine.
Depending how cold it wouldn’t even be that long. I love my car for urban environment use… and in that capacity I crush almost anybody who doesn’t have at least 1000 hp. I continue to crush them at higher speeds. Since they don’t have an hour of high speed driving to be able to catch up with me, I am long gone and they never recover. If they have Corvette, a Ferrari, Lamborghini, very high-end Porsche, a track hawk …sure, they’re gonna actually be faster than me… and they’re going to be able to sustain their lead.
Very cool you still have his tools
My dad sold most of his blacksmithing gear off after his first back surgery. I kinda wish it was still available, but make do with what we have.
The hate is not against the vehicles themselves. As you say, even the ones today have nich that they can fill very well. It’s the force by the ruling elites saying that we have to have them, regardless of the practicality or lack of. And that force goes much deeper than short range, overly heavy, resource intensive electric road vehicles. its the need to force the herd into the barn, so the herd can be vaccinated, kept in the dark, fed shit and the undesirables eliminated.
Grandson Chase. He's made remarkable strides but he's going to need long, long, rehab. He got the word from the neurosurgeon today his motocross racing is over. Another significant blow to the head could kill him instantly. His goal was to go pro and ride for Yamaha but that's history now. I'm good with that. I'd rather he live a long, boring life. Many thanks for your thoughts.
Chase turns 14 June 2nd. The doctors and nurses at Children's Hospital in Madison are miracle workers. The level of care he's received has been amazing. When he get's discharged, yet unknown, he will do his rehab at a place called Shirley Ryan's in Glenview, IL. I know nothing of the place, but if the Docs say that is where he needs to be, that's good enough for us.
Broken bones are common, but, severe traumatic injuries my grandson incurred seem to be quite rare. It's unfortunate but it was just an accident. My daughter is feeling guilty but is slowly realizing it was just bad luck. Thank you for your thoughts.My son, wife and I all raced motocross, it is a great family sport, but tragedy can happen in a nano second. Prayers from our family as we have been there before. Gods blessings for you! Praying for the best.
I have experienced the ”pop” or more like a sort of slide or slip when things move. It is GLORIOUS
. I am planning to put another one at work with my director’s blessing for days when I’m walking funny. People who have never had disk trouble are absolutely blessed.I do get that. Infrastructure won’t support a big move to electric and lots of applications for vehs are just not compatible with the current range capabilities. The idiots pushing a rapid move away from ICE are going to cause lots of damage if they get their way.
