Esta semana en el puente de acero.

Well, it has been dramatic these past few days. True to Chrome Ollie form, we always seem to get a lesson in fracture mechanics about 10 days away from competition. Everything has been fixed up though. One of the benefits of having extemeley rigid connections is that there is a lot of redundant structural safety should something go horribly wrong. While this is good for bridges in reality - not so good for the NSSBC. Doctoring up our torsional rigidity a bit more, we'll begin full scale practice again tonight. Bridge looked very stiff right before yield and fracture, just need to cut the twist out a hair more.

Re-load test Sunday night 4/22 after practice.

Only one more week now...we need greasy, fast, speed Rock!!!
