And a buddy and I just got back from a 6 day, 5 night, 2940 mile round trip ride to Hot Spring Arkansas where we stayed in this really nice Airbnb and rode some twisties in the Ozark Mountains.
Good times...

It'll be better next year no doubt; the small less aero sensitive cars should be better on almost every single track.Eraser wrote:It's awesome, although it promises to be a snooze fest for F1.Don Carlos wrote:I'd love to drive Zandvoort; looks a beaut of a track
My favorite spots are turn 4, this banked left hander where you enter the corner at the top of the bank and dive down into it and then back up again. Feels a bit like a rollercoaster.
The next section, turns 5, 6 and 7 are probably my favorite bit. You can go through these corners really fast. I wonder if F1 can flatfoot it there. On the bike, you really have to wrestle the handlebars to push it.over into an opposite lean when transitioning from turn 6 to 7. Oh I just remember, does F1 do the chicane there? Might be the case to reduce speed for turn 8, which is a blind corner right until the last moment. You go uphill and don't see the corner or apex when approaching it.
Turn 10 is a tricky one as it pinches sharper into itself as it goes. Turn very late here and then have to flick into it. Difficult to do right but pleasing when it works out. Then I like heading into turn 11, a long fast left hander. Especially the exit here is cool because you can completely pin it here.
Last but not least is turn 15, the big banked corner. Designed to be taken at full speed by F1 cars, so you can go really really fast here. IMO we never went fast enough through it :toothy: But I just admit, it's a bit of a scary corner on bike as well. The banking is pretty substantial and more importantly, if you get scared and don't go fast enough, you'll drop down to the lower edge of the corner. If you panic and break, you're fucked and you'll run off the track. Speeding up is the proper thing to do.
All in all, it's a great track with lots of elevation changes and it's very fast. Great fun!
Not sure what a salon table is (is that where you keep your curling irons, Eraser?), but yes, tensegrity structures can be quite strong, and there are tables and much larger structures.Eraser wrote:Is the contraption still stable if you put something on top of it? In other words, would you be able to make a salon table this way?
lol sorry, I mixed up dutch and english there. I meant to say a coffee table.obsidian wrote:Not sure what a salon table is (is that where you keep your curling irons, Eraser?), but yes, tensegrity structures can be quite strong, and there are tables and much larger structures.Eraser wrote:Is the contraption still stable if you put something on top of it?

No but can be. When I assembled it didn't collapse as you might expect. Later I tightened the screws just a little and it is fairy tight now. Specs say this little beauty can support 6.9 kg (15lb) I think I read on the instructions...Κracus wrote:I believe they're kinda floppy.

No, but it wouldn't be bad a bad place to own. Even in Covid times, the guestbook entries show very reasonable occupancy and at $285 (AUD) per night, not a bad income. A self contained or is that self catering cottage about a kilometre/1/2 mile from the property owner and dead quiet in the bush with only bird song to disturb....... Some 40 acres up in the hills where mobile reception is dicky sometimes, miles from anywhere and a hairy drive on near single lane, winding up and down hills. Something you wouldn't want to try in the dark. Otherwise all enjoyable with clear Autumn/Winter sky overhead and wonderful stars & satellites to see.
