Formula One in Spain

[dboat]

Wow,
BAR Honda, gets kicked out for two races and gets stripped of their points from the last race.. The qualifying has been pretty good.

This should be an interesting race, too bad for Jenson Button.

Here are a couple of links that demonstrate why I like F1.. something to do with those 18,000 rpm engines of theirs.. I love my L and its torque but the sound of those engines is something really special..

enjoy!

I sit there an think about the fact that they idle at about the redline for our trucks. Then I think if they are turning 18,000 rpms, how often is that sparkplug firing? hmmm... howz your math?

Dana, get over the spark plug thing. I have posted before that my weekwacker fires the sparkplug faster.

Ahhh...............the weedwacker. An engineering marvel. If they could just come up with an indestructable cutting mechanism. :cool:

I know I know, but something that has 8,10 or 12 cylinders doing 18,000 rpms churning out over 900 HP naturally aspirated is one of those things that I just cant get over.. I guess the difference isnt so much just the spark plug but doing it in concert with the valvetrain as well..where your weekwacker is 2 cycle and has about 3 moving parts. (just like my Lawnboy mower and my Ryobi weedwacker) They also dont cost over $1mill each either..

:rolleyes: Wishing my weedwacker and lawnmower sounded like an F1 Ferrari ;)
