Horizontal falls.

^^Last I checked that's just called current. Water has to "fall" to have falls. LOL

Anyone have any suggestions to get those YouTube videos to work on here that people are posting? The ones that just show a web like adress in blue don't work. The ones with a picture do work. I use tapatalk on an android phone.

You have to use the "embed" feature when copying the YouTube link.

^^Weird, but cool. I just wanna put a cage and a handbrake on it and see how far I can wheelie on ice. LOL

I'm not sure where to put this video. It's funny and awesome all at the same time.

Apparently the Hoonigan "bros" tried building a diesel engine to go 200 MPH. You don't have to bother watching their video because there are clips of that disaster in the video below. The video below is diesel legend Gale Banks of Banks Performance evaluating the Hoonigan dyno session. Even a shade tree mechanic will notice serious flaws with the Hoonigan dyno test. Gale goes off on them and tears them a new asshole in a brutally honest and funny way!

This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't believe most YouTube stars. They often don't know WTF they are doing.

Watch and laugh!

^^LOL pretty fitting since Banks himself broke 200mph in a diesel well over 20 years ago in a truck no less. And if memory serves, also used it for the tow vehicle to and from the salt flats to pull the race trailer.

I know better than to use that crappy air filter. Especially in a dyno booth. And I would have made a longer than 5 second pull, too. Knowing it was to make a pass at the standing mile.



They should get these guys to tune their big diesel instead. Looks like they have their isht together.

More proof that Chevy rules.

This truck rolls over during a high speed pursuit and he keeps going!

Freaking diesel “bro’s”

My friend have mowed the outline for the high speed off road track in his field, when the digger arrive it will do that.
And level a large area for the G scale railroad stuff,,,,,,, and the over spill go towards a scale truck layout we will make in and around a big pile / berm of dirt.



So this decrepit old guy probably have his work cut out for him this summer, cuz that's just a few of the things my even more decrepit friend need help with.
