relay for lifeOn June 4th, the Ada-Pontotoc County

Relay for Life will be entering its 16th year of fundraising for the American Cancer Society. They have come a long way since their humble beginnings at the Ada High School football field all the way back in 1994. Since then, participation has grown from 17 teams to approximately 50 teams of 15 or more people. Fundraising has also grown exceptionally since the charity’s inception. In 1994 the Ada area Relay for Life raised about $19,000 and now for the past two years they have been the only Relay in the state of Oklahoma to crack the $200,000 mark. The Ada area Relay also now ranks in the top 5 teams in the United States in terms of money raised.

Essentially Relay for Life is a charity that raises money for the American Cancer Society by challenging members of communities around the United States to raise money in any way possible for the fight against cancer. Community members must form fifteen-member groups that pledge to raise money. It is a year-long responsibility for many that

culminates on one day per year. On this day, everyone involved gets together and each member from each team agrees to walk around a track or football field at various times throughout at twelve-hour timeframe. This is symbolic of the perseverance in the fight against cancer.

The evening climaxes at the luminary service in which candles are lit in memory or in honor of those who have faced, or are still facing, cancer. At this service all the

names of those who have fought against cancer are called out so as to pay tribute to those who have struggled against this terrible disease.

Though the purpose of the event is serious in nature, the festivities surrounding it are anything but. The night is filled with entertainment including cake-walks, competitions, and live music. It is great fun for the entire family and is also for an awesome cause, so feel free to stop by and have some fun. This year’s event will be June 4th, starting at 7 pm, at the ECU football field. It is free and open to the public.

Sometimes, for various and indefinite reasons, great talent and accomplishment goes largely unnoticed by those closest to it. Just as Vincent Van Gogh, a

revolutionary in the art world, received little notoriety by his contemporaries, few people in Ada are aware of the small group of revolutionaries working right in their own back yards. However, these are revolutionaries of a different kind of art—an art that exchanges paint brushes for drill bits and CNC machines, and trades canvases for fuel injection systems and unleaded fuel compounds. These are the men and women of General Aviation Modifications Incorporated (GAMI) and Tornado Ally Turbo Incorporated (TATI).

GAMI was founded in 1994 by George Braly and Tim Roehl. Prior to the founding of GAMI, Braly, who had a degree in aeronautical engineering, had become friends to Roehl, who had experience in aerospace manufacturing. Braly was an active pilot who practiced law in the area and who also owned a Beechcraft Bonanza airplane. The aircraft contained a new engine monitoring system that, at the time, was a fairly new instrument that allowed the pilot to monitor the exhaust gas temperatures and the cylinder head temperatures of all six cylinders in their airplane’s engine. With this new device, Braly began to notice that the cylinders were operating at different air-fuel ratios. This is significant because when engine cylinders have different mixtures of air and fuel

the engine’s performance can suffer greatly, resulting in larger fuel consumption.

Because of this imbalance, Braly and Roehl wanted to see if they could balance the air-fuel ratios inside the engine’s cylinders and in doing so they began to modify the flow of the fuel injectors, thus leading to the invention of what they now call “GAMIjectors®” (GAMI + fuel injectors = GAMIjectors). By balancing the air-fuel ratio they found that their engine would operate significantly better at more uniform temperatures and at much lower fuel flows, thus saving gallons upon gallons of fuel.

GAMIjectors® are manufactured in Ada and, as the recipient of Aviation Consumer Magazine’s “Product of the Year” Award, have not only become a worldwide success, but have also changed the way people fly planes. Because of the fact that these fuel injectors allow the engine to run much smoother they discovered that they could operate their engines at what is called “lean of peak EGT” (lean of peak for short). EGT stands for Exhaust Gas Temperature and the term “lean” essentially means to use less fuel, so therefore “lean of peak” basically means to run an engine with less fuel, lowering the exhaust gas temperature. This in turn saves a great amount of fuel, because before this discovery, pilots were told to run their engines “rich of peak” (the opposite of lean of peak) in order to make the engine work less, thus lowering the cylinder head temperatures, which keeps the engine from overheating. >

continued from pg. 9

Before GAMIjectors, there was no way to operate an engine lean of peak because the engine would not run smooth enough and the engine temperatures were dramatically different. With the ability to more closely control how much fuel is injected into the cylinders, they were able to operate the engine at lean of peak, and they found that they could indeed run leaner with the same amount of horsepower. Further, another difference was that when doing so, it ran cooler and it consumed significantly less fuel. There are now over 19,000 sets of GAMIjectors flying worldwide, all of which have completely changed conventional ideas within aviation and have also saved the general aviation industry tens of millions of gallons of fuel and this was merely the beginning of accomplishment for Braly and Roehl.

After the success of the GAMIjectors, one invention simply led to the next. The fact that they could now run engines at lower temperatures meant that there was a lot more power that could be utilized which opened the market for turbo-charging systems to become a more popular component in aircrafts. Turbochargers in essence increase the amount of air that is taken into the engine’s cylinders. With the engine running cooler the turbo systems could add more manifold pressure thus creating more horse power. Consequently, in 1998, Braly and Roehl founded TATI (Tornado Alley Turbo Inc.) and gained permission to modify existing turbo systems on many popular aircrafts to efficiently fit with their GAMIjectors.

Along with the modification of existing post-market turbo systems, about four years ago TATI began manufacturing turbo systems for the most popular high performance single engine aircraft : the Cirrus SR22. For years Cirrus had been trying to incorporate a turbo system into the SR 22 model with little success. The people at TATI therefore decided that it would be wise to build a turbo system for this model in hopes that it would become a popular component for a popular airplane. When Cirrus caught wind of TATI’s

manufacturing efforts, they decided that they would test it out for themselves and they liked it so much that they immediately started offering it at their factory. TATI has since manufactured close to 1000 turbo systems for the Cirrus SR 22 which is a venture that has led them straight into their current project: the creation of a high-octane unleaded fuel which can be used in place of the current leaded fuel that is used in many airplanes today.

The fleet of planes that TATI had manufactured the 1000 turbo systems for is now the first certified fleet to attempt to operate on their new unleaded fuel. The reason behind these attempts to create an unleaded fuel is that general aviation aircraft are some of the last remaining vehicles that still use leaded fuel because leaded fuels have high enough octane to satisfy and not damage the engines of aircrafts. But because of the pollutants that are emitted from leaded fuel, certain environmentalist interest groups have petitioned the EPA to crack down on the FAA in an attempt to rid the general aviation industry of leaded fuel. As a result the industry now faces the crisis of developing an unleaded fuel with a high enough octane to not hurt aircraft engines. GAMI has since taken this challenge and formulated an unleaded fuel with a 100 MON (Motor Octane Number) made only out of petroleum based chemicals. The fuel is now awaiting approval from the FAA. Once approved it will be one of the only unleaded fuels available with such a high octane, and for that reason, one of the most efficient. This could essentially solve the fuel crisis and provide the general aviation industry with a truly quality product.

With all of these innovations GAMI and TATI have rearranged and are still rearranging the landscape of the general aviation industry. Revolutionaries in their own right, with a gifted maintenance crew, without whom none of their work would be possible, their talent and accomplishments should not go overlooked. Citizens of Ada should feel proud to be home to such great minds.

Thanks for all your

hard work!

SavvyWritten by Ingrid Law

Mississippi (“Mibs” for short) Beaumont is about to turn 13 years old. On becoming a teenager the Beaumont children have each received their savvy or special gift. One brother has the power to cause hurricanes and the other can create electricity. Mibs is both excited and scared about this change.

The excitement of her birthday is cut short when her papa is injured in a car accident. Mibs believes that her soon to be realized Savvy will help save her papa. She and her friends sneak aboard a bus which they believe is bound for Salina, Kansas and the hospital where her papa is. When the driver, a bible salesman, heads off in the opposite direction Mibs and her friends begin a journey of discovery. Along the way Mibs finds that everyone she meets seems to have a special gift.

This is the first novel by Ingrid Law. Her imaginative and whacky characters are delightful and the finely crafted story will be enjoyed by many young readers. Grades 4-7.
