Hi `Augi, found the below on leak detection...Hope it helps.

Behold the world's fastest roller coaster at Ferrari World

Who doesn't love riding in a Ferrari? Nobody, that's who. But who actually gets to ride in a Ferrari? Almost nobody, that's who. Until now. Behold the Formula Rossa roller coaster, the world's fastest coaster and the centerpiece of the brand-spankin'-new Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. Strap in:

Sweet mother of mercy, that's awesome. The coaster, which opened on Nov. 4, reaches a top speed of nearly 150 mph in less than four seconds, pinning riders to the seat with 1.7 Gs.
More details: the cars get launched onto the 1.2-mile-long track with a hydraulic system similar to that which fires planes off the decks of aircraft carriers. And due to the speed and the frequent dust storms in Abu Dhabi, all riders are required to wear safety goggles.
For more info, check out Ferrari World right here.

And for purposes of comparison, a look at NASCAR's competing entry in the coaster series, the Intimidator 305, follows below.

Which one would make you lose your lunch faster? '

Nice looking z next to the Jimmy JJ.

Morning all, it is snowing/freezing rain this morning so I am heading out to see if I can find some slick roads to drive on. Last winter the auto hubs were broken on the suburban so I never got to see how it would do in 4wheel drive and I need to break the tires in on the snow also.

Justin you have more then I do.

Ryan, those are good tires. They have great traction for an all terrain, you will like them.

Space go to sleep and stay out of the water. Rip currents are bad news.

Morning Augi.

Mitch and Greg, have fun at school. I have a bunch of homework to do for my online class.
