It was for this reason that the Jericho transmissions were first utilized at Pocono. The engine speeds reached on the front stretch pushed the gonk pistons to frequencies that resulted in incredible catastrophic engine failures. By shifting into high gear, the hazardous frequency harmonics are eliminated, allowing the gonkulator to operate in a much more reliable fashion. Let me get this straight. Atthe last news conference regarding this important experiment, constant interruptions from sign-carrying enthusiasts caused the report to be shelved.
Negotiations continue, as do the experiments.
At last report, itseems, size really is the issue. The same source relayed to me that another failed gonkulator was the real cause of the Challenger disaster. When a gonkulator fails the results are usually devastating as related above. Gary Nelson will have to watch gonkulation very closely in 98. I understand that RW was using a prototype gongulator during Daytona testing.
