Item Upon - Who Wins In The Formula 1 Vs. Champ Cars Drag Race?
A recent survey by Salary.com shows employee productivity may not be all that employers would like. According to the survey, “the average worker in the US admits to frittering away 2.09 hours per eight hour workday”. This figure does not include lunch breaks or other scheduled break-time.In Wisconsin for example, for every eight hours work an employer pays for, the employee is likely to deliver less than six. Respondents admit to wasting 2.8 hours on activities such as: • Surfing the Internet for personal use • Socializing with co-workers • Conducting personal businessTake out employer sanctioned time off such as lunch breaks, vacation time and sick leave and the productivity picture looks even worse.According to the survey, the
During the waning years of Factory backed Champ Car (CART) racing, engines were fast approaching 900bhp. And in 2000 Gil de Ferran recorded Honda's fifth consecutive CART Drivers' championship while setting a new world closed-course speed record of 241.428 mph at California Speedway. (Fontana, CA: 2.5 mile Tri-Oval)
Meanwhile the F1 circus has hit “terminal velocity” speeds of 221+ mph along the front straight of Indianapolis while making the long blast down the straightaway by running full throttle for 21 seconds… (Prior to the 2005 Michelin tire DEBACLE!!! Fortunately I was attending the Portland GI Joes Ch
When you are nonresistant toward the vision of what you want, your vision runs to meet you. You seldom win until you become willing to do without the prize. Unity writer, Imelda Shanklin, said in her book, WHAT ARE YOU: "Say to whatever seems worth having: ‘If you do not want me as much as I want you, I do not want you at all. I can do without you and sorrow not; but I will welcome you if you come. Take your choice. It does not matter to me."This may sound strange after you have spent time and energy creating your life vision. Our world seems to focus on doing and on making it happen. We believe that we have to fight for what we want. The details of your vision are effects. The cause of your effects is in your mind. If you are thinking and feeling that you must ha
Unfortunately the majority of today’s non-racing savvy public only knows what “RASSCAR” (Nextel Cup) is… So my simple answer is: Do you know the cars that run at the Indianapolis 500? Those are “Indycars,” which a Champ Car loosely resembles.
Although technically speaking, the Indy 500 is the sole domain of the Indy Racing League, which is NOT Champ Cars. This is due to the current state of Open Wheel racing having been divided between two opposing sanctioning bodies when the CART-IRL split occurred back in 1996…
The most noticeable visual difference between a Champ Car and IRL chassis is the rear engine cowling. Champ Cars being turbocharged do not utilize an overhead airbox. IRL cars feature a “Formula 1-esque” airbox to ram air into the engines induction buried inside the carbon fibre enclosure…
And yet this year’s brand new Panoz DP-01 Champ Car will appear to be a hybrid of the series former Lola B2K chassis and a current spec Formula 1 contender with its new front wing treatment. The new Panoz will also utilize similar F1 steering wheel mounted paddle shifting and a host of new electronic engine management features including the removal of the ubiquitous “pop-off” valve…
Providing an interesting twist on the subject of Open Wheel racing cars terminal velocity was the announcement that F1’s BAR-Honda would attack the Bonneville Salt Flats in October 2006 in an effort to break 400kph…
Further details were gleamed while watching last July’s Formula 1 Qualifying at Silverstone. (Sat, 7/09/06) when the SPEED Channel’s Bob Varsha made some interesting comments during the 5AM broadcast.
Varsha noted that the BAR-Honda “jalopy” was expected to “max-out” at 250+mph running a modified Formula 1 chassis with front and rear wings removed and utilizing a parachute…
This leads back to another question I’m often asked: Which is faster: “The chicken or the egg. The Coyote or the Road Runner?” ERR, Formula 1 or “chUmp carZs?”
This naturally leads to a comparison of rival machinery. The 2005 BAR-Honda 007 chassis is propelled by a 3.0 liter normally aspirated V-10, rumoured to be producing 955bhp @ 19,200RPM’s... Yet in July 2005, BAR-Honda was in LAST place of the F1 Constructor's standings.
Meanwhile the ’05 Champ Car, the Lola/Cosworth 2.65 liter turbocharged V-8 was producing 750bhp @ 37” of boost. Utilizing Cosworth’s “Push-to Pass” technology allows drivers 60 seconds of “turbo boost” creating an extra 50bhp to be applied for a maximum output of 800bhp.

Summer is right around the corner and most of us have our to-do- lists figured out, mentally, if not written down yet. Bible camp for the kids, plant a large garden, and a trip to the lake. What about financial housekeeping, shouldn't that be on your list too?Early summer is a great time to take a financial breather. The holidays are a long way off, the taxes have just been paid and we're spending time eating in the backyard instead of dining out.If you take even one day out of your summer play/work and organize your finances, you could cut down on the forest of bills, bank balancing, and paperwork facing you all year long. Now is even a good time to take a look at your retirement and investment accounts and check up on your insurance coverage.<

Oprah Winfrey speaks of the universe sending us whispers. Listening to our inner instincts if you will. If you don't get it in the whisper then be ready for the pebble, brick, brick wall, house to come crashing in a storm so best to catch it in the whisper.But how often do we stop to listen to those whispers? Some think women are more attune calling it woman's intuition. I don't think women have exclusive rights to an inner voice, do you?How often have you heard whispers and failed to act because of fear? Fear of failure or even fear of success. Living in a comfort zone is just that a comfort. Break on through to the other side, take the road less travel, listen to the whisper and take note of the difference.I have seen many opportunities on and offli

How do I get a Credit Card?Getting a Credit Card is not as difficult as it seems. If you have recently graduated, or you are still in college, Credit Card companies see you as desirable and a good credit risk. In fact, you probably receive Credit Card offers in the mail quite often. Compare the terms and be sure to choose one with no annual fee and with the lowest possible interest rate.How do I get a Credit Card with bad credit or no credit?How do I get a Credit Card if I am not in college and I have bad credit or no credit? You can still get a Credit Card! Often the best way to get a Credit Card when you do not have an established credit history is to get a secured card. Orchard Bank is one of the major banks offer

Not many of us give ourselves the credit of being great speakers; neither do we find ourselves comfortable and confident when encountering new people and situations. How often have you found yourself rehearsing the lines which you are supposed to speak at tomorrow’s meeting? Even though some of us might feel more confident than the rest, it would not be untrue to say that they too have their fair share of cold feet. Sudden bouts of nervousness and palpitations do not indicate that you are having a serious health condition; in most cases it just indicates a lack of self confidence. It would be safe to say that nearly 90% of all humanity suffers from low confidence; if only we could find a magic lamp to cure us of it. Well, I am here to tell you that such a magic lamp exist

This was prior to Formula 1’s engine downsizing from 3.0 liter Normally Aspirated V-10’s to 2.4 liter V-8’s by lopping off two cylinders in an effort to reduce power outputs which were threatening to exceed 1,000bhp!
This had occurred in the mid 1980’s during F1’s Turbo era which had seen 1,100+ bhp during qualifying from the tiny 1.5 liter inline 4’s and V-6 twin turbocharged motors. The spiraling horsepower increases led to the FIA (Formula 1’s sanctioning body) choosing to return to normally aspirated engines with the introduction of 3.5 liter maximum displacement in 1989, with a reduction to 3.0 liters in 1990… (This engine formula stayed in place from 1990 to 2005)
The all time monsters were known as Can Am, which raced from 1966-1974. This saw the evolution of the all-conquering German Panzer, otherwise known as the Porsche 917/30 whose flat 12 turbocharged motor was rumoured to exceed 1,300bhp…
Yet In the mid-90’s Porsche’s direct descendant of the 917’s: The 956’s followed by the dominant 962’s vs. Jaguar XJR’s (Lemans prototypes) were both blasting down the 3.0 mile Mulsane straight just shy of 250mph. (246+ mph) This led to the addition of two chicanes being added to carve up the straightaway…
Of course top speed is simply relative to the vehicles application…
On Oct. 15, 1997 the British Thrust SSC became the first jet powered “automobile” to break the speed of SOUND! (Mach 1) The dual engine land jet blasted to a two way average speed of 766.609 mph...
And just where do the boundaries of ultimate speed end?
For example, the Lockheed SR-71 flies FASTER then a speeding bullet (3,000 mph), while the XB-70 Valkerie broke ALL records with a top speed of Mach 5! (3,700+ mph)
So which is ultimately faster: Formula 1 or Champ Cars? Unfortunately this will NEVER truly be answered as the two different forms of Open Wheel cruise missiles adhere to different engine formulas, rules packages, different tires, weights, fuels, gear ratios, etc. And the greatest limiting factor is the different aerodynamic rules enforced by Formula 1 vs. Champ Cars.
Even the racing is slightly different. While both race on traditional road circuits and apply the same “Point ‘N Squirt” theory of racing. F1 chassis are more suited towards outright acceleration from corner to corner while Champ Cars were able to reach higher top speeds while continuously circling the banked super speedway ovals during the late 1990’s or as exhibited by today’s running of the Indy 500…
Yet during the 2006 Champ Car World Series raced at Montreal’s Circuit Gil
