Dodge Horsepower Challenge

[drag racer]

I am definitely sending in a SASE to get the winner's list, Hopefully I am on it

 

[ACMAVRO]

I’m giving the benefit of the doubt but there might be some lag in the legality process of releasing the winners. Some people might not want to go public if they win. For the people that do there might be some scheduling involved for a video or interview or whatever. Then again there might be non of that and the only way to find out is to write in. All I know is if anyone hears anything PLEASE POST because we need some assurance that it is (or was) possible to win this thing

If I recall correctly from the fine print, i.e., the rules, the winners waive most any right to privacy - i recall it says you, the winner, give FCA the exclusive rights to use your name, photo, etc. in ads in any medium, for perpetuity!

Right but how are they going about all that is what I’d like to know. The wait might be them trying to get it together?

HOLD ON... MY PHONE IS RINGING...



MAYBE IT'S THE HORSEPOWER CHALLENGE ADMINISTRATOR CALLING ME WITH GOOD NEWS...



SPAM CALL... SOMEONE CLAIMING THAT I HAVE WON A CONTEST FOR A NEW MUSTANG.

TOLD HIM I WAS EXPECTING AN IMPORTANT CALL FROM DODGE....

I HUNG UP ON HIM!!!!

 

[Stormtrooper1320]

Winners will be announced weekly!

Or so says the contest main page. Has anybody heard of any winners being announced as of yet ?

Nope, nothing. And you figure that if a winner had been announced that it would be all over the net. I think they aren't going to announce anything until all the drawings are done. Of course....I don't have any proof of that....but I did dream about staying at a Holiday Inn Express.

 

[Hickster]

Hey now, Inn Express has a great breakfast BAR. No since in argue ing. Go fer the grits. Hope every one has a great rest of the week. I am going thru White Friday, order sum Chcemi- nucke Bros stuff to spend 4 days cleaning my car. Week for family, I have none, so, work on the car before back into the paint shop for 4 days and done. Last of the engine, center caps, and emblems. Funny having no emblems, and people not knowing what you are running. IDIOTS and will be all weekend. Hopefully no tickets at the beach. But these idiots here the wine and don't back off,, $100 per gear is all I can say.

For those who may have watched the Engineering Explained video, there is what I believe is an error on the whiteboard by Jason.


"Tan" is not the correct trigonometric function to convert grade percentage to angular degrees.

Depending on your calculator, you want either "Tan^-1" or sometimes called "ArcTan"


Using "Tan" for this conversion will give you an erroneous value. (Just plain wrong).


.02




(Also make certain your calculator is in "Degrees", nearly all calculators default this way though)

Ok, sorry, the way he has it written is mathematically correct.

However, if you're not mathematically literate, you may not understand the steps required to get from A to B,

 

[Hickster]

I run it back wards and it still comes out the same. Good call. Now can Cole have his store bought Sugarland Koober Shine back?? He is too snoozed. 76 here on Wed and time to shine and drive the beach. Trawling for fresh tuners. Saw the Ford Ferrari movie, after getting wacked again, another dent,, movie OK. Kept up on your 60's world of cooperate crap,, no big deal. Watch free on Sat morn.

Well that's a relief - I'm barely literate as it is, mathematically or otherwise.

 

[ACMAVRO]

Is it just me, when ever I look at a digital clock it registers as as some kind of horsepower!?!? Lol this shit is really starting to get to me..

 

[BULL]

I can't tell you how many times I have looked up to see 7:07 on a clock...

 

[ACMAVRO]

I can't tell you how many times I have looked up to see 7:07 on a clock...

Me too! It’s 7:07, 7:17, 8:08, 8:40... I think it’s a sign!

 

[drag racer]

4:26 too!

 

[OLDBAYCRAB]

Me too! It’s 7:07, 7:17, 8:08, 8:40... I think it’s a sign!

Well, thank GOD, 7:97 isn't possible on my clock... or is it????

Welcome to the Twilight Zone.....

 

[OLDBAYCRAB]

HAPPY TURKEY DAY...



TIME FOR SOME PAYBACK!!!!!

 

[Jack_Toepfer]

They may want to make sure the winner is willing to fork over the $30k in taxes.

 

[vortecd]

Taxes would be a 5th of that
