  1. Thanks to everyone for the comments. I stopped by Delta Epsilon this morning and picked up the Bersa. I'll let the wife shoot it a few times if it's not her cup of tea then I got an early birthday present and I'll get her something else. Thanks Todd!!

    "Here's how you get to 1,000 miles an hour in a 40-foot-long titanium and carbon-fiber car, which the organizers say have taken 30 man-years to perfect:

    First, a jet engine from a Eurofighter aircraft -- which is significantly faster than the U.S. Air Force's F-18 Hornet -- accelerates the car to about 300 miles per hour in about 15 seconds.

    Green then starts filling the rocket with high test peroxide fuel. So much fuel is needed (one ton in 20 seconds) that the pump to supply it is actually a Formula One engine. The pump technology, Szyjanowicz said, is usually found in an intercontinental ballistic missile.

    Green then pushes a button that fills the rocket with fuel and allows it to hit full power. He accelerates from 350 mph to 1,050 in 25 seconds. He maintains that speed for one mile (it only takes him 3.5 seconds to cover the distance) and then he shuts down the rocket, hits the brakes and deploys a parachute designed to decelerate him from 1,050 to zero in 40 seconds. He'll cover 12 miles in 2 minutes" :eek:

  3. Once again the role playing gamer geeks (GenCon) are taking over Indianapolis the same weekend as the MotoGP weekend. There is currently 1 hotel with rates below $200 within 5 miles of downtown Indy. The only other hotel with rooms in Downtown Indy is currently at $310/night.

    edit: There are cheaper rates through the Convention Bureau but you have to spend 4 nights. Fail sauce.....

  4. The guys that dumped the safe were the new members of the club they showed earlier in the episode. Their charter shut down so they joined redwood.

    That's what i thought. The nomads are starting some shit.
