I popped in to the meeting on Wednesday and it was almost over. I think I was 15 minutes late. Times change, but usually we wouldnt have ever started the meeting yet lol. Anyway I figured I would put together some ideas for the officers AND students (maybe some alumni) for possible presentations.
If the current students dont want to hear people talk about crap, so be it its just an idea for you guys (feel free to tell me if its a bad idea). They may require research (or should) and you could also steal some ideas if you sat in on the HPDE class room sessions.
Ideas:
-HP vs. TQ as it applies to street/autox/track/drag
-Basic engine upgrades and the slippery slope (when should I upgrade my valve train? How does compression effect static hp/tq)
-The Friction Circle can be simplified visually
- Offset and Backspacing how do I make these tires and wheels fit
-How to use X tool
-Cam profiles and what they mean (and why you cant talk in stages)
-How to read the side wall of a tire
-What is camber/toe/caster and how does lowering my car change these
