Hello all! let's get a head count...
Please post here:
The name of the bike,
who(s) will be riding,
owner and builder.
consider including other details like configuration, # wheels, rider position...
Please leave chatter and other comments (challenges, digs and banter) to another topic.
it is looking like it will be a very busy event with a record number of participants (and volunteers I hope).

I will start another topic about volunteers
THANKS!!!

Vehicle name: Completely Overzealous
Rider: Gareth Hanks age 28
Description: Next member the Overzealous trike family. We aim to explore the upper limits of trike speed in the Velomobile style format. We're currently working with 'a lil Overzealous' (Jeff's 24 hour machine) to assess mods for a high speed version. We'll likely shave yet more frontal area away too.
We'll post some build info latter in the year when we start building this machine here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Trisled/164374643594582?v=wall

Vehicle name: C3H5N3O9
Rider: Ben Goodall age 33 (but 34 on the Saturday of the event. I'd like a 70mph club membership for my birthday please! :-)
Description: SWB speed bike heavily influenced by Varna and Eivie. Designed specifically to fit me. Lots of work done on drive line and frame design to further reduce frontal area.
Further build and rider info http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ben-Goodalls-One-Good-Run-page/230832480324748

I also forgot to add that we may be bringing out the Cal Poly ASME bike from this year.

Bike: Gemini
Riders: Unknown
Owner/Builder: Cal Poly HPV Team
Details: Two-wheeled, Carbon frame and fairing, rear wheel drive, pretty

This bike could be run but it depends on the status on Aurora as the riders would be pretty much the same.

Well, I have one... ahem...

I hope Warren's taking notes, because this will fill in the participant page nicely: http://www.recumbents.com/wisil/whpsc2012/racerprofiles.htm

I would add a column for racer's web pages, too, just because I hate Googling and wasting 10 seconds of my precious time. :)

C3H5N3O9 = Nitroglycerine = Boom!

Garrie, I think a better, more clearer stoichiometric expression might be....
(4)C3H5N3O9 = (6)N2 + (12)CO2 + (10)H2O + (1)O2
which balances out with
12 Carbons
20 Hydrogens
12 Nitrogrens
36 Oxygens

How did you come up with this?!
I found an answer here (from 6 years ago):
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061028162835AAdT9zk

The output of that equation Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Water, Oxygen is relatively harmless.
