[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1477793, member: 16241"] A friend of mine found this while googling one day and asked me about it. Funny what’s hiding in the dusty corners of the web. I got a good laugh from it and it lead to an interesting lunch discussion. From that lunch discussion the following seemed worth repeating. For what it’s worth, I made my first 9 second pass on a turbocharged drag bike in 1978. It was an air cooled Suzuki GS750. Turbocharging and air cooling is a tricky environment to keep combustion stable in. I broke my share of parts back then, but for my trouble I got a priceless start to my continuing education in combustion engineering. It certainly didn’t make me any sort of expert, just a ravenously curious truth seeker. The drag strip is Mecca for unproven bullshit and opinions in my experience. But it’s super fun anyway. In his defense Slodsm did indirectly raise one important point that’s worth always noting as you try to advance your knowledge of subjects that matter to you. Eminence is NOT evidence, so don’t let some “expert” blow smoke up your ass no matter how familiar they might be to you. Question everything if it doesn’t sound right. Our old friend Dr. Richard Feynman said it much better than I ever could: “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts” “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool. “ and lastly “STUDY HARD, what interests you the most, in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible. “ Dr. Feynman was one pretty clever cat.
