Here is a site everyone should be aware of

It started around 2004 and applies mostly Physics 101 to PWD unknowns. Occasionally throws in some advanced techniques but hopefully still easy enough for the novice to appreciate.

I used to sell many items like the Speed Package and big green Physics of the Pinewood Derby book, but old age caught up with me and I had to close my shopping cart. However, my mind is still at 100% active and there is are new surprising Lecture items in the near future. Took M D Anderson about 10 years to get me back in shape.

The Lectures section is still active and contains 26 Lecture with more to come. See:

Please post questions and suggest new Lecture topics

Regards and Happy Racing! /images/boards/smilies/smile.gif

I believe I referenced your fine site, Doc, back when I was infuriating some with my claim that friction was not a factor of surface contact area. /images/boards/smilies/wink.gif

I backed you up on that one VK.

True that. /images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif
