– Assumed maximum lateral g’s on curves.
– Assumed maximum accel/decel on straights.

But what if…• …we crank up the boost
on the XR?– Even doubling
horsepower only yields a 4 second improvement.
• …we improve the handling of the XR?– Raising the skidpad from
.8 to .9g’s gets you only 2.4 seconds.
Watch and BE AMAZED

We’ll get some kind of trophy!
• Even if the car completely craps out we’ve got the Banned Technology award wrapped up!
![Page 7: Why you should race with me.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ee6cab1a28ab590b8b46b9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
We might get crushed!• Validation that we
outperformed expectations.
• Most awesomest story to tell friends, family, acquantances…
• A smashed fan would look awesome next to banned technology award.

15-20 seconds of fame… at least!
• Increased value for remaining 14 fans!
• Endorsements! (read:Brawndo!)

We could win!

But Brian… isn’t it all a lot of work?
• Not really:– Minimal performance
mods to the Civic. Mostly anti-roll bars.
– Motor/fan module can be built separately.
– Vacuum manifold hung from A-arms.
– If all else fails we can still drive the Civic.

…and you spent how much on shipping?
• Much of the fan money is recoverable (Al scrap is $.50/lb at Star Metals)
• Other Expenses similar to new XR– Cage (cheaper!)– Wheels/Tires– Used motorcycle motor
($100 on craigslist).– Manifold materials.
