Jon

will you be having the internet audio feed again this year?

I sure plan to do so.  I suspect that the stream will be available via many sites and FB page as well as landracing.com.  Bob will be resetting the stuff on the home page tomorrow, and I'm planning on getting the system running once I'm done with toilets next week.  Stay tuned for more!

Wow, I saw on another thread that the SD was on a fancy  dyno.... That was a pretty short sweep... I know for a fact that dyno will do a 40 second sweep from 4K - 11K....  Just did one a couple of days ago...
Did I mention that dyno looks just like my Roth IRA   :roll:

Drool... what brand of dyno is that? All I know is Dynojet, and I haven?t played much with load control.

My Roth IRA is a Dynomite Axle hub 1000 HP Dyno.  It will run over 1000 HP, but not for long... they make them up to 6000HP absorbers... I figured if I get a motor that makes more than the dyno will handle I'll be going too fast  :?  :roll:
They can be controlled manually or by a laptop... Laptops used around dyno's should have a solid state harddrive. acoustic vibration will freeze the spinning disk type.

   First off Slim I would like to compliment you on your speaking voice. You are very pleasant to listen too. I have a big favor to ask, as I will be tuned in to your POD Cast.

   Could you give occasional updates. Such as " If you just tuned in here are the cars that have gone to impound so far today"  " the fastest car in the largest class, C/IR is the #62 with a speed of....." "If you just tuned in the #77 J&S racing streamliner drive by Arley Langlo has eclipse the 400mph mark for the first time" "The Speed Demon is in line again after running 480 ealier today, but is looking for more speed" " should be running within an hour" and of course "the #7 C/GL with the exotic 12 cylinder engine just posted a time of...."   Oh, and the occasional lament that Marlo isn't here with the conditions being so good"   SOB :-(    Take some notes and give us some frequent updates.

...and mention my name every hour on the hour.  And how much you miss me.  You're getting the big bucks for this, so don't let us down.

I too enjoy the guys on the live feed, and appreciate it very much.

Hopefully Jon's iffy mic cord has gotten thrown away, and to new one purchases.  In years past, it would cut in and out.  From my time pretending to be a musician, I understand how easy it is to damage audio cords.

Where will the link for starting line video be at?

Most likely on the home page, along with the audio stream.
