Electric F-1 Racing?
June 28, 2009 by Vern · Leave a Comment
I’d like to see these electric cars start their own F-1 races. Look at how badly this electric car dusts the Ferrari and Porsche. Sure it’s got 1,000 lbs less weight (at least), but F-1 races would be ridiculously fast I think using some souped-up electric cars – yes? Or are they already as fast as this?
This looks like some guy’s garage car project. Probably the electric cars could be made crazy fast. I’ve seen an electric motorcycle that was really quick…
Wait a second… you know what? It wouldn’t work. Part of the attraction of F-1 is that the engines are SCREAMING at high revs… how much would an electric car scream? Hmmm. Ok, nevermind.
(I found movie due to Shawn Rill’s post on Facebook.)
Thailand’s Hash House Harriers (HHH)
June 27, 2009 by Vern · 3 Comments
Here are some Hash House Harrier groups I could find online in Thailand. What got me started on this post is that I was floored to learn of an Ubon Hash House Harrier group that started 8/2008.
Ubon? I lived in Ubon for over a year and I gotta tell you… I didn’t know even one person that could run the short-trail, not to mention the long. Maybe times have changed there.
I ran in the Aloha Hash House Harriers for a bunch of runs. Apparently they were considering my name – based on an especially appealing dress I wore during the red dress run one time, but, thankfully I didn’t get one before I moved.
Hash House Harrier runs / groups are not right for everyone. When I heard the explanation of what it was – I wasn’t interested. However, when I went to my first run – I was hooked. It’s a good time – a great time really. Try it – even if you think it will suck – you’ll have a lot of fun. You can’t help but have a good time.
Here’s an old article I just found at ThaiPulse that I wrote about the Ko Samui HHH, I wrote a long description about what the group is and what they’re about…
Here are some Thailand Hash House Harrier groups…
Chiang Mai Underground Male Hash House Harriers
Chiang Mai Bunny Hash House Harriettes
Chiang Mai Happy Hash House Harriers
Chiang Mai Hash House Harriers
Chiang Mai Saturday Hash House Harriers
Ubon Hash House Harriers -Here is another in-depth article about Ubon hashing written by an expat from a 1st person perspective…
Ubon is one of my favorite places in the world – why? The people. If you want to go by and experience the very best in Thailand’s people then stop by Darwin’s Ubon Ratchathani Hotel website and see what he has on offer. Ubon’s people are generous and sweet to a fault. Treat yourself to the real Thailand.
