    NASCAR Math

     



    When describing an engine failure, the "Expert" commentator at the Chevy cut-out car said that a valve operates 150 times per second (at 9000 RPM). So did the guy pass engine math or not?

    Maybe they're running 2-cycle motors in NASCAR these days?

    The experts on Horsepower TV keep showing the Rootes-type blower running backwards too.

    It's a good thing we have TV to keep us edjumacated, eh?

    This is why I never buy or build anything I see on tv. With my expertise and their know how, I could possibly blow myself up.
