Theodore · 10-23-2011, 06:42 PM

Ted <--- Is not a former President of CSCC but first ran autocrosses with CSCC in 1983.
Ted <--- Is currently on SCCA CCR Board, SCCA SEDIV TT Committee and Eurofest Board and VP at his house.
Ted <--- Has an end to his wit and wisdom.
Ted <---- Could GET driving tips from several student members today
Ted -----> promises you won't be too bored. ; )

Ted's Open Book Trivia questions... Good Luck!
1. What car maker offered the first rebate?
2. What car maker built THE first cars to have bodywork developed by formal aerodynamic testing (done hydro-dynamically in a water tank)?
3. What did Alfred Sloan invent in the 1920s that makes cars, computers, cell phones and Playstations so darn expensive today.
4.Why do we call the instrument panel a "dashboard"?
5. Wind tunnel tests proved that the 1969 Dodge Daytona's and the 1970 Plymouth Superbird's rear spoiler actually worked slightly better if it were about 8 inches lower. Why did they keep it so tall?
6. What two brothers built the chassis for the first A Model for Henry Ford in 1903?
7. What do the inventors of the first windshield wiper, the ceramic insulator for spark plugs, the first car heater and the first car cup holder have in common?
Bring your answers to the meeting and impress everyone by proving you deserve to be a character in the automotive version of the TV show "The Big Bang Theory".

^^LoL

Nice one Ted. I will not have the street tires on the car for this one. I will have some old R3SO4's. Even older but I should be able to get some heat into them. I also have a set of 225 R3SO3's but I think they are beyond getting heat into them after 8 years.

I would watch out for Jaimie. She hasn't autocrossed in over a year. She will be going crazy being able to drive hard legally.

**Clemsons2k** · 10-24-2011, 04:05 PM

lol Ted

**RHennin** · 10-24-2011, 04:21 PM

Zach ant ideas on the course design?

zps2004 · 10-24-2011, 04:46 PM

Simple for the new guys. Slalom, and some offsets on the other side most likely. I have an idea for a figure 8 I want to try maybe for the second autocross.

03SVT · 10-24-2011, 05:10 PM

Hey just so you guys know there is a math test in Daniel 100 until 8:15 (allegedly) on Wednesday

Figure eight? Sad

Do we have any room to try a few more sections? Maybe some medium difficulty for us old folks and some easier for the newer guys...

The test is no problem for us. We have the room for 2 hours following the test. Big Grin
