track was closed... i didnt bother checking the web site before i left home so i drove there for no reason

Good to put some km's (miles) on it anyhow.

[thered56]

^^rofl man Greg...hahahahaaa...you have to put "miles" in brackets!!! haha

Are you saying that km's aren't recognised by Americans, that your using them to speak to a Canadian? haha

[Damkid]

^^dont worry, silly Americans may eventually catch up to the "metric" system that us awesome canadians use :lol: JK

[Darlo]

That is, that "we" Canadians use! NOT "us" Canadians........

The way you can check, is take out the word "Canadian" and see if it sounds fine then.

You would not say "us use the metric system" you would say "we use the metric system".

All in fun though, as I really dont care, lol.

miles are bad for me and my car... last time i put miles on it i got stopped at the boarder and got asked a bunch of questions... as soon as i got across and put some kilometers on it i felt better and my car started running better lol jk...

The metric system is much better IMO. 1,2,3,4,5,etc.

SAE= 1/8th,1/4,1/2,9/32's, etc....everybody knows from school that fractions suk

[Damkid]

But sticking up for Americans, How we all would normally call a drag strip "1/4 mile" what would it be if it was metric :shock: wouldnt have the same ring to it :lol:

[kellen302]

agreed, all of metric is better, except we keep the mile for long distances

It's 400 meters. 0 to 400 meters sounds okay.

I'll be honest here. Using measurements in construction and carpentry, I consider SAE the way to go, down to the 64th if necessary. For instance, say you're dividing measurements. It's far easier when half of 3/8 is 3/16, and quarter of it is 3/32. Now, metric. Half of 7mm is 3.5mm, and quarter is 1.75mm. I'm sure most disagree with me here, but I'm sticking with my preference here. btw, I'm handy at math, so that may be another factor. :p

not the first time that one of my threads have gone way off topic... and its my thread, so if i wanna throw somthing like this in to it

[eurotiva]

So Mike go bolt your turbo on, take some pics and put this train back on track.

[thered56]

[sasquatch]
