  1. There will never be another like him. Great driver, great engineer. True gentleman. And, in his later years, deaf as a post.

     

    I was talking to a friend tonight, and a number of years ago, Subaru ran a day at Mt Cotton with Sir Jack doing hot laps in a WRX. One of his son's told a nervous lady to squeeze Sir Jacks leg if she got frightened and he'd slow down. He told Sir Jack to speed up if she touched his leg. Hilarity ensued.

     

    The word legend is bandied around too much these days, however to this man it is fitting.

     

    Vale Sir Jack Brabham.

  2. Dynos really are best used for before and after to gauge the results of tinkering. Who knows when it was last calibrated (or if it has ever been properly calibrated)

     

    For example: the same engine that produced 87 hp at the wheels on one dyno, came up with 110hp on another dyno. This second dyno the owner made me fully aware it was incorrect (a man of integrity), however we picked up about "7" hp through playing with various things. Thereby still fulfilling its purpose as a tool.

     

    People put too much weight on "my car made 6000hp on the dyno".

  3. From the rules that You have agreed to:

    ]5.8.0 You may only "bump" (i.e. reply to yourself) your item every 72 hours (3 days) or your item(s) will be removed. No bumps are allowed within the first 72 hours of posting your item. Excess "bumping" is unnecessary, very annoying and unfair to other advertisers. Just to clarify what a bump is: Replying to yourself (no other posts made after your last) before the 3 days is up, or Replying explicitly (either clear or on the sly) for the purpose of returning a thread to the top of the forum view.[/b]

    Feel free to readvertise in a couple of days.
