The garages/pits where the fun cars are all located, primarily. And the driver's meeting room, which is nearly always empty....and air-conditioned.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

I was surprised to notice that the Honeywell cans are reverse-threaded...I don't know if that's true of all brands of this new wonder-refrigerant.
Yeah, they are all reverse threaded.
