Import Drag Bash Options, Here is what Cordova has open Options

[awd4kicks]

Susan Hudson has been making the calls and Cordova is working with us very well.

It looks like the charge to get in will be about $50 per driver, which is nearly half of a Dyno run at R&T's. Plus with only 20-50 cars there you will be able to make as many runs as you feel safe doing for five hours straight!!! To make this happen I will be requiring pre-registration and payment so we can garantee a showing for race day. Once we make a decision on the date and a group, will post on Cii as well as some other advertizing.

Again, I will want to get a small group together to help coordinate the runs and results of each, so that we may be able to hand out a few trophies and booby prizes just for fun.

Post your comments and concerns here as you take the poll.

Thanks!

Haha. Don't you just need a flux capacitor, 1.21 gigawatts, a trap speed of 88 mph?

Traveling through time at a different rate of speed than someone else is possible and happens everday. Every time you take a trip in a commercial jet you are traveling through time slightly quicker than everyone else on the planet. They've tested this, it comes down to a second or two difference in a trip around the entire world in a commercial jet. A military jet would probably bring it to three or four seconds.

Traveling more quickly forward through time is much more feasible than traveling backward through time. I won't delve too deep into Einstein's general and special theories of relativity, but basically as one approaches the speed of light the time around him changes and slows down relative to his own time reference. Imagine tossing a ball up in the air while riding in a car. To you it looks like the ball just went up and then down, but to someone outside the car who blocks everything else out but the ball sees it move up then down in a shallow arc. Its the same concept with time just in the 4th dimension rather than the 3rd. There are two problems posed with moving faster through time though. First, it would simply take more energy than is current availble to our society right now to move someone that fast. And secondly, as an object approaches the speed of light it also approaches critical mass. Meaning, its mass increases at an exponential rate. I'm not really sure why this is, but I'm sure you can find theories if you look hard enough.

Traveling backward through time is something that has basically been theorized impossible. To even come close to this, one would have to find a way to make everything around him move nearly infinitely faster through time than himself. Still traveling backward through time wouldn't be achieved by this because even moving infinitely slower through time than everthing else would only achieve not moving through time at all rather than actually moving backward through time. Now there are unstable, hard to detect, anti-time particles that have been detected in modern physics, called neutrinos, kinda like anti-gravity particles, and anti-matter particles. These are theorized to actually travel backward through time. How? No one knows. But maybe some day hundreds of years from now someone will harness the power of these and be able to travel backward through time. Who knows? Maybe you are sitting next to someone from the future right now. Of course anyone whos seen Sliders, Quantum Leap, Back to the Future, or that one Halloween episode of the Simpsons (with the time traveling toaster) knows that traveling backward through time and involving yourself in events can change ones future to conflict with the one that he remembers, basically causing one to travel down a different timeline or "parallel universe".

Can anybody tell I'm bored at work today?
