The DeltaWing grows a lid and goes racing with the big boys

This entry was posted in Uncategorized on by (updated 3993 days ago)

DeltaWing Racing showed off the next iteration of innovative new race car that debuted last year at Le Mans. The DeltaWing coupe now has a roof and the tub has been redesigned to put the driver in the middle instead of off to one side. Somehow it just doesn't look as cool with this bulbous looking top. 

With the departure of Nissan, the team has now adopted a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four based on a Mazda engine and starting at the 12 Hours of Sebring this weekend, it will be running with the big boys in the LMP1 class. Should be fun to watch.

Crash test video shows why you shouldn't draft too close behind big trucks

This video from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety demonstrates that the vast majority of under-ride guards on truck trailers are totally inadequate to prevent severe injury or death. There are plenty of reasons not to follow too closely behind a tractor-trailer, but the risk of death tops the list.

Who would have thunk it? Make a healthy profit while paying living wages, providing benefits and allowing unions?

All I can say is screw the Waltons and everything they stand for!

Costco announced record profits today, averaging $10,000 in profit per employee compared to $7,400 at Walmart. 
The secret to Costco's success is paying employees well, providing benefits, and giving them an opportunity to unionize. http://huff.to/XoTt48
