@ripjetson9 @dvanderley Little bitty piece of brass from ye olden day transmission caused an infection. Emergency cut and drain.

@ChrisKot1970 @ripjetson9 @hms_motorsport @alangenstein7 @PaulkJeff I was going to go with "A legend returns" but didn't want it to go to his head.

@ripjetson9 Are you going to start doing seminars on customer service? Because I have several departments worth of people that can learn something from you.

@ripjetson9 My Chinese branch of the family (via my son) approves of the effort.

@chromedude1 This is even less forgiving than black paint.

@stef_wilson I am a pretty stoic guy. And I was unfortunate enough to be crewing for a driver that died on the track. Loading the car afterwards will haunt me forever. But, damn, this hit me hard. Absolutely stand up. This is truly the best people right here.

@ripjetson9 Is this like a special request from the chassis builder? The extra light version he can charge $1200 more for?

[Robert Ryan @robssecondjob]

First column is seat angle from vertical. Other columns are headrest angle with respect to the seatback.

[Robert Ryan @robssecondjob]

@ripjetson9 Some analysis of seat angle. The angle of the seat definitely seems to have an impact on forces exerted on the spine (T6/T7 area). Another aspect that was noted was the angle of the headrest section with respect to the seatback. A large factor in the forces.

[Robert Ryan @robssecondjob]

This is only really in play in a vertical impact (ie flat onto the bottom of the chassis). Rolling side to side there is not measurable difference in force.

@ripjetson9 The 15 minutes of sandwich fame was only the beginning.

Mother's Day and Anniversary on the same day shows a huge lack of forethought in the schedule department.

@ripjetson9 @felipesdad This is magnificent.

[Robert Ryan @robssecondjob]

@EclipseClaims @felipesdad This seems like Shawn has a unfair advantage

[Robert Ryan @robssecondjob]

@EclipseClaims @youngsmtrsports @TabloTV We might have been over-thinking strategy all along.
