Not true, at least not of some of the earlier systems.  I remember
hearing in 1989 that some minivans only had rear wheel ABS.
IMO, it was only offered so the marketing people can put a check
in the box in ads that said ABS is available.

Didn't we go through this about 2 weeks ago?  The summary:  if you consider
a tow rating of 5000 lb in the "serious towing" catagory, then it's okay.
If you want more towing capacity, then look at the Buick Roadmaster or the
Cadillac Brougham, both of which are available with tow ratings of 7000 lb.
Or get a real truck with up to 19000 lb tow rating!

Almost verbatim is not verbatim.  I quote C&D, Oct. '88, pg. 109:

     You could buy an alarm with this capability (the lock and unlock) but
     just don't connect a siren or flashing lights.  This way you still get
     what you want plus perhaps some additional protection for the car
     that won't annoy anyone.

     A $150 - $200 alarm and a good installer should be able to give you
     what you want.  Just look for alarms with a few "outputs" which you
     can connect to the trunk release (You might need a solenoid to do this
     but I don't know how your trunk works) and the power door locks.

The thermodynamic efficiency of an ideal Rankine cycle at 140 psia and
500 deg F is about 0.27.  The corresponding Carnot efficiency is about
0.40.

An old reference lists:

 All stationary steam plants, average    0.14
 Central station steam, average          0.21
 Best record, large CSS                  0.34
 Diesel plant                            0.30
 Natural gas engine plant                0.24
 Gasoline engine plant                   0.21

Current values are somewhat higher.  Nonetheless, if one takes a
generous value for the existing coal-fired plants (the majority of our
power) of 0.30 and multiply (at the least) by 0.9 for transmission
losses, 0.9 for charging, and 0.9 for discharging (not including other
potential losses), you get an overall EV efficiency of 0.22.  If you
want to use 0.35 for the power plant, the value increases to 0.255.

The EV is not more efficient than an IC vehicle.  If matched for
performance, the mileage on the IC would be better.  Miles per unit
volume of CO2 released is superior for the IC....unless one would like
to generate power with the dreaded N-source.

Madgwick Intl have an multi-continental operation, run under the

European F3000 during 1992, and will be running Galles Jnr in
Indy Lights in 1993.

Given that Lola will be supplying the new F3000 based Indy Lights
chassis for next year, it would seem to be an ideal opportunity
for European teams to get a toehold in the States. They have a
longer history of running machinery very similar to the new car
in Europe.

I believe the first true 'foreigner' to win at Indy
was Jules Goux in 1913 who averaged 75.93mph (but don't
have the specific car data in front of me).  Back then
the sanctioning body was the AAA and Goux went on to
finish second to Earl Cooper in the overall season
driver's championship, gaining 1000 total points to
Cooper's 2610.

Yes this is true. It would depend if the incident was a racing accident or not.
However how often does a driver admit he took someone out on purpose? It 
usually takes along time before the driver will admit to such a thing.

My point is, whether or not the incident is on purpose, I think that any driver
is more likely to be attacked in F1 over an incident than in Cart. How often
have we seen Mario involved in racing incidents and the other drivers never
show anything in public.  Every time there was an incident between Mansell and
Senna or Schumacher and Senna I was expecting a fist fight.

Maybe John Berton was an alias for John Bisignano, and when ESPN
fired him he stopped watching F1.  

I don't know, but if no one else posts any sort of reports next year
I think I will start.  And I also plan to win Pick 6 next year
to.  The only reason I lost this year is because I hated that
#5 person at Williams and never picked him as the winner.
I'm glad he's out of F1 now.  To bad Senna had to go to though.


I hope Mclaren gets Illmor engines for the last 2 races in '93.
I think Prost is not faking his times.  He's been away from the
sport to long and it's starting to show.

To follow up on what someone else mentioned,
this week's season-ending issue of National
Speed Sport News has 116 pages to sift through
so it'll offer some good holiday reading (though
I didn't receive double pages as some did).
One small tidbit of interest is that NSSN has
published 2,184 pages of racing news, results,
features and photos, 86 pages more than any 
year since publication began in 1934.

One other highlight that I saw was that 
Al Unser Jr. is slated to drive a Rick Hendrick
Chebbie in the Daytona 500, wrenched by
Waddell Wilson.  We'll have to wait and see on
this one, as at one time Al was supposed to run

I've got a father really desirous to attend one of the Winston Cup races at
Talladega, Alabama next year.  Do any NASCAR fans out there know how to
get information about racing dates, getting tickets, or just contacting the
folks at the Talladega raceway?
