including foreign investors, unless it is their intention to take over America
Foreign investment usually means "produce in the US" instead if importing the goods.
Building a factory in the US has little to do with "taking over the country".
In my neck of the woods it's pretty common to build tools to supply factories all over the world.

If anyone ever wondered, why it was the conservatives shutting down nuclear power in Germany:
It was this combination of "conservative enviromental protection, save values" way of thinking that Rfk Jr. seems to represent..

And that was that - Liberals refused to ramp up spending and socialist chancellor fired the liberal minister of finance for not acting against the constitution.
Can't make up the @#$%& the democrats come up with.

Dick, i have to disagree:
Young people can be interested in pulling, even if they have no affiliation with agriculture.
I have been to plenty of pulls this year, where the majority of a jam packed crowd was mostly in their 20-30s.
It's a matter of how you present the pull (yes, they like music - and louder than the old farts like us, who won't be there anymore in 20 years) and how ac

Doing live streams myself (but mostly on YT for free) I very quickly had to learn, that pulls where we have the "on track announcer" only are hardly watched by the people online.
It takes a totally different information supply to an audience in the stands than to the people at home.
We have A LOT of new viewers who just stumble over a live stream and since we also interact with them on the ch

Starlink, unfortunatly produces exactly the result you saw in the BG Streams: Every time it changes to a different sattelte, it has a short drop out in the upload, causing blurry and/or dropped frames.
The only two ways to get a constant clear broadcast with it:
- delay the stream by up to two minutes with a buffer on the receiving end
- bond it together with a half way decent cell signal. Out

I knew the number in April but forgot the actual numbers - and don't want to tell any bogus on here.
It's not at the US Unl weight (as it doesn't have to be), but making below 8000 lbs is just a matter of e.g. the brake callipers of the light twin and work on the planetaries to get there.
They are making good progress by the way: First time it actually pulled it's ratio a

That's not really correct - or let's say it is a bit more complex.
In general, there are enough gas power plants - point is, without Putins gas and now running on Norwegian gas and US LNG, they are expensive to run, which had skyrocketed the energy prices here (along with the stupid conservatives shutting down nuclear power) for a while. They came down again lately (still much higher

A tank or aircraft engine is not really different from other automotive engines. If you have the manual and a well trained engine mechanic (one who actually learnt how to rebuilt engines, not a high school trained "car mechanic") you can handle them.
What probably would have helped in the development of e.g. the Allison engine in Tractor Pulling: If the "goals" they were trying to reach with t

That wasn't my opinion.
This was simply a quote out of a german newspaper - and not a left wing one (actually the "Merkur" is considered solidly conservative).

It is interesting to see the worries are the same all over the planet.
What is funny though our companies are moving to the US and people here complain about the US giving tax breaks, cheap energy, having lower emission standards and lower labour costs..
This is a bit out of one of our major newspapers:

He had 4 very good runs!
Two were solitary "demo runs" of which he put one into the sand pile.
Then on the last day he ran within the actual super stock class, which unfortunately was interrupted by rain. The cover went on for a while and the class was run with a floating finish and no pull off.
In those challenging conditions he laid down a 4th place distance, whereas several after him couldn

Finally home and the video work done...
The new Green Fighter had a "stupid" error in the geometry of the butterfly linkage. Basically the angles of the throttle and the arm on the butterfly shaft equaled each other out.
Didn't show up stationary, but as soon as there was vacuum pulling on the butterfly it became impossible to open it any further. Only 13 psi boost - oh well.

The light twin (Mitas Green Monster) in your 6000 lbs light unl. class could throw 500 lbs of weight on (the nose). Anybody running at that weight class with more than 4000 hp knows what that means.
If you throw 4 twin Hemis and the Mitas Monster into one competition, betting on the Allisons coming in second is a pretty solid decision.
The new triple - remains to be seen. According to the CA
