Cone Flammability

[Rob Battiston]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if they're using fire-retardant cones at the competition, or if they treat the pavement with a Nomex-type compound. We've found that the fire trail we leave behind in testing has melted most of our cones and left the U of Yellowknife parking lots a mess <because we're so fast>.

Thanks a lot,
Rob

Oh...that's fire. Well, that's good news. I was just going to suggest that you get your driver a checkup to see WTF is up with his incontinent ulcerated bladder. I'm not sure what causes that, but I figure it can't be good.

Looks pretty bitchin', but why are the front tires flaming if the front halfshafts are missing?

Hope to get a closer look at this car in about two weeks!

LOL...and you need to learn more about this word right here. (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sarcasm)

As for the lack of halfshafts, I believe it's the uranium-powered maglev system that they've been working on with their colleagues at Tuktoyaktuk University's (http://www.tuk-u.com/) Inuit Development Institute Of Technology.

We haven't set any fires but this data acquisition readout has us concerned to say the least.
