    Earbuds?

    I wouldn't know what to do if my ears didn't ring. :huh: Results of my misspent youth and my time in the USMC <_< yea me too....And back then (circa 1974) a photographers pass to stand next to cars at the drag strip was a highly sought after item...go figure.

    Earbuds?

    Pray tell, what's this all about? I'm thinking, 750hp, hmmm... Champ Car? Dragstrip? My Christmas present this year was a ride in a Trophy Truck at the Parker 400 :yahoo:

    Earbuds?

    Thanks to all of you who replied ....I'll be looking at all the ones you've suggested. I knew this forum would have some opinions. These will actually be needed for a racing helmet where I'll need to hear the driver over a 750hp V8. They may eventually end up back in my FJR helmet though after...

    Turbo or Super Charger

    True the tubo Hayabusa is the way to go. My retired neighbor (mid s60's) has one....and never stops fu*#ing with it. Bought it new in 2003 I think....many sacrifices to the Gods of speed. In its present state it has a hand built fuel rail, CNC designed airbox, hand built exhaust, water alcohol...

    SWFOG

    I'll throw in my 2 centavos...As a lifelong Phoenix resident I'd say prerunning a course in the lowlands during late May will almost guarantee 100F temps during mid day. April would probably be a better choice. Many people don't understand we have 10,000ft mtns in AZ where we can conceivably...

    Topbox Question
