I'd personally drive for either(I can dream can't I) But Gannasi has the better dodge. The honor of running 35th in a petty car just does'nt roast my nuts. But I'd do it. Ganassi has a even bigger suitcase full of cash now.(mcmurry will be gone) So I figure he'll go to the 42 but if the 97 changes numbers to 28 will havoline go with mcmurry? Silly season and my own "guesses"

I'm hearing now that Interstate Batteries might not be back next year also.

Anyone else hear this?

All rumors yet, but in this weeks Scene mag. it made comments that Bobby will not make any comments about 2006 until this season is done. My bet is Bobby will take the Petty ride. Petty has a good program, it just needs a solid veteran driver, and they would get that with Bobby. Petty has Everham engines and Kyle was tight lipped last week when asked what the Petty cars are doing in 2006...somethings up.

 

Which leads me to a delima. I have been a Bobby fan since he started driving for Joe, and I liked the fact that JGR ran GM cars. Well now Bobby could drive a D**ge. I will have to take #18 stickers off my truck, travel trailer, flag pole and repaint a section of wall in my garage!

 

He does need some luck, this has not been his year, but if you look at it, not many problems were JGR issues, most were wrecks.

 

GO SMOKE!!!!!

I don't know about changin all that. Nothing wrong with the championship scheme hangin around. After all it wasn't the #43 dodge he won in.

Consider it a tribute.

I'm hearing now that Texaco is staying with Gnassi and the #42 and Casey Mears will be driving.

You guys just look out for me.

 

As soon as I get back from Monte Carlo, I'll be racing in the number 53.

 

That's right...Herbie.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
