Everyone swoons at the Bugatti Veyron’s paltry performance !?However, this is how it is done. 0-110
in 1 second ! 0-330 in 4.5 seconds ! The nitro-methane super-charged V8 engine’s 8000 horse-power nearly rips the tubular frame apart, and sometimes does, at full speed !

1 of my subscribers: http://www.youtube.com/ElectronTeacher ,
sent me a couple of “bugs.” One was unassembled, so Jeff and I put it together and had a couple of drag races with them in the dark. I snuck the faster “eeprom” chip (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) in when Jeff wasn’t looking and beat him bad!
( J Tiberius Kirk did it too) but I decided to tell Jeff anyway, and we had a run off race.
“Do you know what the snail said to the other snail while sitting on a turtle’s back, just as the turtle started to move?
“Hold on, here we go!”
These robot bugs are very educational, use common parts from old servos, and Radio Shack.
They would make a great science project for any age. They are also very fun to play with.
The kit came with complete and thorough instructions and software to program the chip. I am impressed and my hat is off to you Reuben. Thanks for the fun while we wait out the winter up here.

First YAS Drag Racing Festival march 2010 at YAS Drag Racing Centre in Abu Dhabi.
Really supercharged action on the dragstrip. Especially the Top Fuelers. These monsters you have to see, hear and feel personal in action. Sheer power when they accelerate. Hopefully next year there will be more Top Fueler monsters on the strip. Also the other categories like the Outlaws, Pro Mods, Super Street 8 and the Pro Bikes which go over 300 km/h are a for the eyes and ears. But you can’t leave home without earplugs. If you do they will be supplied at the stadium. Believe me, you really need them. The guys from MotoX Air Show gave a good performance on their bikes.

Can you go to jail for it or get your license revoked? And is the punishment steeper if you are underage?
Well, if you are like one of the many young people in the state of Maryland in the past ten years, you could end up wrapped around a telephone pole or scattered in pieces along the highway.
Here is the text of a new bill currently before the Maryland General Assembly, which gives a maximum penalty of 1 year in jail or a $1,000 fine, or both.

The penalty is currently a misdemeanor charge, punishable by $500 and/or 60 days, plus five points on your driver’s license.
