	Scooter Tracks - Minimum Requirements
		Tracks without a surface are hard to negotiate, because scooters tend to disappear into the earth.
		The best track layouts provide ample horizontal space on the outside radius of turns for vectoring vehicles and their former pilots to decelerate in a timely manner before encountering vertical bits of the environment.
		Stacks of old tires are commonly used, since these are cheap and plentiful, and they can be strung together so they retain their general location when struck.

	NMRA Trackwork Basics
		Track is generally made of one of four materials: brass (the gold-colored metal), zinc-coated steel (dull whitish gray colored), steel and nickel silver (the color of a five-cent piece).
		The radius is measured from the center of the track to the center of the curve.
		The key with flexible track, as with sectional track, is to let your track do everything smoothly: no sudden curves or kinks, and no sudden ups or downs either.

	ley
		Arthur Lawton, a member of the Straight Track Club, wrote a paper in 1938 that claimed that leys were dowsable lines of force.
		He added that energy is derived from the blind spring at the centre of the circle and transmitted by the concentric circles outward from the centre to be stored at the perimeter, which can be released as required by inserting a small amount of energy into the relevant stone.
		In China bad spirits travel on straight paths, and these were therefore unlucky and avoided at all costs: a straight path would drain the good luck from a place.

	M E g A L i T h i A - Standing Stones: alternative viewpoints
		Archaeologists tend to view some celestial alignments with suspicion, partly because to study the moon over 18.6 years implies considerable free time to think and observe, which does not fit in with the perception of Stone Age Man, and without writing it would be difficult to transmit the ideas along the generations or across communities.
		Ley-lines are long straight tracks joining places of ancient power - or a modern-day mental projection of networks onto the landscape, depending on your viewpoint.
		Mentioning ley-lines is not the way to get into archaeologists' parties :-) As physical pathways the long straight track is difficult to credit, since it is surprisingly difficult to go in a straight line from A to B even in forest-cleared modern times without crossing water or scaling unnecessary heights.

	The State of The Art International Tattoo Convention - Derby UK
		Watkins came to the conclusion that he was seeing the vestigial traces of old straight tracks laid down in the Neolithic era, probably, he surmised, for traders' routes.
		In particular there were the Native American Indian trails in the sierra regions of California, Bolivian lines marked with later Christian shrines and churches, the dead straight tracks of the Anasazi radiating from Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, the Mayan "sacbeob"...
		Leys, old straight tracks and "terrain oblivious lines" or whatever you want to call them, reveal a deep mystery lodged as much in the human psyche as in the landscape.

		A ley may be identified simply by an aligned placing of marker sites, or it might be visible on the ground for all or part of its length by the remnants of an old straight track.
		With ponds dug on the line, or streams banked up into 'flashes' to form reflecting points on the beacon track so that it might be checked when at least once a year the beacon was fired on the traditional day.
		In 1938, Arthur Lawton, a member of the Straight Track Club, wrote a paper in which he claimed that leys were lines of cosmic force which could be dowsed.

	The Old Straight Track - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Old Straight Track is a book by Alfred Watkins that was first published in 1925 describing ley lines in the United Kingdom.
		In the book Watkins shows the straight "Roman roads" were based on earlier ancient tracks.
		Unlike tracks, mounds remain unaltered in site down the ages; in many cases practically unchanged on form.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: Why do sitcoms have laugh tracks?
		I realize this doesn't say much for TV viewers, but the answer to your question essentially is yes--the purpose of a laugh track is to tell the audience when it's time to laugh.
		For those who've spent the last 55 years in a monastery, a laugh track is a pre-recorded effect inserted into most sitcoms not taped in front of a live audience.
		The laugh track is generally added in post-production--that is, during editing after the show is taped.

	UFO Area: The Leyline Enigma
		Stonehenge was just a short bike ride away, Old Sarum, an ancient hill fort, made a magnificent playground for my brother and I, and whilst at school, during particularly fascinating maths' classes I would stare out the window at the cathedral spire and marvel at its majesty.
		Since the publication of his book 'The Old Straight Track' Ley Hunters (people who study maps and the landscape for evidence of leys) have found countless leys across Britain, France, Germany and even as far a field as Peru (Nasca lines).
		In 1978 Tom Graves, another dowser, claimed that he was able to find a dowsable link between two such sites and resulted in the popular belief that leys were indeed evidence of energy lines that surrounded the earth and that the builders of monuments such as Stonehenge were aware of this.

		Modern roads avoid obstacles, so this suggests that the road might be built over a track which went straight to the mound on purpose.
		The alignment passes through the site of the old Mearns Cross which stood on common ground till the village green was bisected by the Kilmarnock road in 1832.
		A mile beyond this, in private land, stand the remains of an earthwork and part of the foundations of Pollock Castle on a high and conspicuous position on the point of a rocky ridge.

	OBRA: Alpenrose Velodrome
		Because Alpenrose track is not your typical 25 to 33 degree banked track (it is between 42 and 43 degrees on both banks according to one grade meter), so at least one or two training sessions are recommended before venturing out for a mass start race.
		Riders are allowed to come ride the track any day of the week as long it is not during an organized track session.
		Once down to the infield (never cross the track during a race) test out your bike on the apron (during general warm-up) or warm-up circle (during a race) before going on the track.

		In 1932, the current track from the pits straight to Tertre Rouge was built, with the Dunlop bridge being installed after the first corner, bringing the track length down to 8.378 miles.
		After the new breed of Group C sportscars had been clocked at over 230 mph on the Mulsanne straight, it was decided to insert two chicanes to slow the cars down, bringing the track length up to 8.450 miles.
		In response to this, the circuit was flattened and the hump lowered by 8 metres during the winter of 2000/2001 to try and reduce the risk of this happening again.

	Ley lines - Stones of Wonder
		Leys are straight tracks or paths which connect up ancient and sacred sites in straight lines which cover the countryside.
		These were derived ultimately from the Stone age, when people travelled the country by following tracks straight from one landmark to the next visible one.
		One of the most impressive leys is the one which leaves Stirling, becoming the `Old Straight Track' the monks took to Iona.

		The new track has been constructed on a bed of gravel to try and prevent the bumps forming which plague the old track, and Nascar asphalt has been laid in the turns.
		An access road on driver's left can be used as a track out point for more powerful cars (but watch out for the hole as the pavement ends.) A smoothly increasing radius will bring the car back to the right edge of the track just as the track straightens out.
		The track curves a bit before the entry point so you can either follow the track edge or go straight toward the entry, leaving the track edge.

		By the time the old heads have been cleaned, inspected, decked, machined and fitted with new valves and springs, you may have the same amount of money invested as the cost of a new pair of high-flow aftermarket heads.
		Oftentimes, if the block is not line-bored, uneven clamping pressure will be distributed to the crankshaft--causing it to bind-up slightly as it rotates, which can rob horsepower, cause premature wear or lead to bearing failure.
		In addition, if you ever have to remove the lifters, be sure to re-install them in the same lifter bore from where they originally came.

	Welcome to True Laser Track - the MOST Accurate Laser Alignment System
		The old way to track a car was, you take a string and pull it along the side of the car, taking a couple of jack stands to hold the string taunt and start to measure in to the wheel.
		Tracking a car is trying to figure out the relationship between all four corners of a car, with your goal being to create less drag and less rolling resistance as you drive down the road, race track or drag strip.
		You also need to know how each tires contact patch with the road compares to the other 3 tires that are on the vehicle.

		I haven’t had one friend call me from their garden to gloat that they’ve bunked off yet this year and everyone seems to be going straight back to work after holiday rather than having a couple of extra days to “get over the dodgy stomach”.
		No one seems to be stretching their lunch breaks for a few extra minutes in the sun, indeed people have been more inclined to stay at their desks, and I haven’t spotted anyone sloping off early to get a good spot on the balcony in the local.

		It was an expensive day, \\$120 entry, 2 shagged 207's, 1 shagged knee slider, the left one (not many good right corners) and the bike know needs a tune but it was well worth it and I hope to be out there again in a couple of weeks.

		Watkins suggested that all holy sites and places of antiquity were connected by a pattern of lines he called "leys" (also called "ley lines," a term some say is inaccurate).
		Mounds, barrows, tumuli, stones, stone circles, crosses, churches built on pagan sites, legendary trees, castles, mottes and baileys, moats, hillforts, earthworks, and holy wells were all thought to stand in alignment.
		Using the Ordnance Survey, Watkins claimed that the leys were the "old straight tracks," which crossed the landscape of prehistoric Britain and represented all types of early human activities.
