Satriani-Hordes of Locusts.........presumably the hordes are the rice-burners and factory *hot rods* of the current day(gotta bust through them in yer '40!)rockonsmile

I keep thinking of the Nascar folks running well into the 9k mark with a nice steel rod. And someone else might be able to answer this, but for the same given size of steel is Titanium as strong? For example if 2 rods were the same exact sizes would the Ti rod be stronger or the Steel? I'm...

I've been reading these new member posts to see if I'm an average *boomer* and it appears so. I grew up in the 60's lusting after these beautiful cars..... With a little luck I may be able to build one for myself. I see mostly monocoque cars here...are space frame guys like myself...
