    Timing nightmare

    So you think you've got a problem timing your cam and valves correctly? Child's play after looking at this:

    Celebrate!! / Does the Paddock Need to Continue?

    Ron, you asked, more likely rhetorically than literally, how you would determine the individual to be temporarily restricted ('banned' has a finality to it). In the end, it's your forum and I think you have handled the problems fairly and with decorum, therefore it would be your decision as to...

    Celebrate!! / Does the Paddock Need to Continue?

    I would say keep the Paddock subforum. There are so many topics with interesting or amusing content that it would be a shame to eliminate all of it for the sake of a few miscreants. In most of the forums I have seen, from automotive to boating, even to RC aircraft, there are those individuals...

    Is the right to bear arms outdated.

    Pete - A very good observation. In short the ones calling for control will be the very ones who will be controlled. As for Mark's post, I am, as previously stated, of the firm opinion that the hype piled on these disasters by the media is a large contributing factor in encouraging a psychotic to...

    Is the right to bear arms outdated.

    Jim - you keep bringing up that chart but it doesn't say where or under what situations these crimes were committed. I am NOT defending assault weapons or high count magazines or anything else. I AM a gun owner who hopes to pass from this life having never to take the safety off or draw it from...

    Is the right to bear arms outdated.

    Tom, having teachers armed may not be a good idea - anymore than designating a janitor for American Airlines to be a back-up pilot. A better idea is to have a trained professional.e.g., police, doing that job - let teachers teach, let security forces do the protecting. That way a trained person...

    WTF?

    Jim, I am not educated well enough on the psychological effects of video games to make a call on that but I suspect you have a good point there. We all grew up OK with violence in movies, cartoons, and such but I would not confuse either willingness or reluctance to go to war with a psychosis...

    Sandy Hook School massacre,12-14-12

    When I started the thread all I asked for were prayers for the victims and their families - didn't intend to start an argument on gun ownership. Thanks to you folks who have expressed their sympathies for those affected. This is actually a double whammy for the little state of Connecticut - just...

    Sandy Hook School massacre,12-14-12

    Some of the dust has settled and the unfortunate statistics show 20 children, 6 adults dead and 1 wounded at the school, the shooter's mother dead in her home nearby plus the shooter dead as well. This small New England community is in total shock, as is the rest of the country. This has...

    There has been a school shooting, another mass murder, at an elementary school several miles from where I live. The shooter has killed 27 people, 18 of them were elememntary school children. 30 people were shot and only 3 survived. The shooter killed his own mother, a teacher at the school...

    New species

    Make of it what you will, this will appeal to almost all of the 'politicos' here. I personally liked the next to last paragraph in the attached article [excerpt] which is from the science section of the News-Daily,12-11-2012, written by Jason McClure: "Obamadon gracilis was one of nine newly...

    W.M.D.s loaded into Syrian bombs.

    Hmmm, a lot of musical references here......next, someone will be asking me if I've seen his wife.........and then he'll want me to pass him the bottle. No, I don't own a basketball. Anyway.... as for the original thread, I think the real problem would be having these gas bomb chenicals fall...

    Anyone with a GT40 in the CT area?

    Dylan - Sorry to delay the viewing offer but due to unforseen circumstances, we'll have to push it back a bit. I was hit head-on on the evening before Thanksgiving by a car that crossed over into my lane. I was in my tow vehicle, a Ford Expedition ( 3 tons) which saved my a**. Other driver went...

    Anyone with a GT40 in the CT area?

    Dylan - Scott may have sold his car but being the Tornado rep for quite some time, he should be able, if willing, to answer some of your questions much better than those of us who own different 'brands' of GT40. That said, Mike's ERA would be an excellent example as this is a high quality...

    New cam vs 1.7 ratio rockers

    Dave - You were looking for performance figures - I can't say how the Edelbrock heads would perform but I do have the chart for my engine using the AFR165 heads with a mild cam. Carb is a 680 cfm Quickfuel. This engine has 1.6 Scorpion rockers and was built for primarily street usage. Don't know...

    The Emergence Of Real Conservatism.

    Seems like it's time for the administrator to uphold the forum rules and require a full, real name be used to be able to post. If the person doesn't comply, his/her posts ( all ) should be removed from the forum and his/her ability to post be revoked. This crap is ridiculous. It would appear...
