Brian Beckman is a physicist and a member of No Bucks Racing Club.  He started the Physics of Racing series in 1991 for his local racing club's printed newsletter.  He said that his overall goal with the series is to present a fresh outlook on racing physics, understandable to the technically inclined non-specialist.  He said that some of the later articles get very technical, but he always trys to balance conceptual discussion, which everyone should be able to understand, with mathematical analysis, which might of interest only to specialists, and with numerical results, which, again, should be universally accessible.  He said that when he first started the series, he purposely avoided the standard reference sources, preferring to figure things out himself from first principles. In the past ten years, a number of superior source books, papers, and programs have become available, and it is no longer sensible for him to avoid them. He said,"I've had my fun, now it is time to 'get real.'" So, in the later articles, he refers to the well known books by Milliken, Gillespie, Genta, and Carroll Smith; as well as to free simulation packages such as RARS, TORCS, and Racer.  He said,"There is a tremendous amount of activity in racing simulation nowadays that computer hardware is fast enough to permit extremely detailed modelling of racing cars in real time. The realism of Grand-Prix Legends, for instance, was unimaginable in real time in 1991. Despite this growth, I continue to hope that the Physics of Racing series can fulfil its original dual roles of translating racing lore and craft into hardcore physics and of making that physics understandable to real-world working race drivers and teams."

Finally, he wishes to point out that these articles are FREE.  He grants to everyone, everywhere a perpetual, transferable, universal, royalty-free license to copy, host, post, translate, convert, transform, and reproduce the articles in any form whatever, asking only that the content and attribution not be changed and that the rights of anyone, anywhere to further copy the articles not be restricted, say, by charging money for copies.

Starting with a $99 “American Auto” minibike at age 9, Christopher Mahalick has spent the past 30 years frittering away his hard earned cash feeding a completely irrational car and motorcycle obsession.  He currently writes a monthly column for “Der Gasser”, a monthly publication produced by the Porsche Club of America’s Riesentoter Region. In addition to a monthly column, he is also active in Drivers Ed as a participant, as well as being the region’s track registrar.

His style could be best described as “car articles that even chicks read”.  Employing equal doses of humor and practicality, his mission is to bring “speed to the masses” by dispelling the myth that the car/motorcycle hobby is restricted only to the ultra-rich.  Mr. Mahalick’s current “fleet” includes the following:  a 1984 911 Targa, a 1971 914, a 1977 Yamaha RD-400 café bike, and “Thrashy”, a 1988, $150 Volkswagen Jetta beater.

Jason Ellis is an Active Duty Air Force member that has been enlisted for three years. He has attended college for two years prior to joining, and has decided to acquire a BFA in Industrial Design. One day, Jason hopes to design the cars that everyone drives and loves. He is currently the co-founder and Webmaster of www.MidnightRacing.org. He has a nice grasp on the past and present automotive technology, but in no way does he consider himself a master as of yet. He hopes to further his education to help create the machines that the general population will cherish for years to come.

Jason was born in Gulfport, MS. He has spent most of his child and pre-adult life there, with the exception of a two-year stay on the island of Bermuda. As a child of 8 years old, he was introduced to the repair of automobiles. His step-father, Karl, taught him the basics of how to fix and restore almost every car imaginable at the time. With that knowledge, he further studied information upon joining the military, and put it to work on his first project, a 1998 Honda Civic EX. He found that imports were quite easy to work on, and took a quick fondness to them. He sold his Civic, and purchased a 1991 Acura Integra. He hopes to build it to be one of the fastest non-VTEC autocross cars ever seen. His vision from producing articles is to inform the public on real-life experience of how things work and perform. He does not believe that the information and opinions are to be a "last source" for information, but merely a starting point in any automotive related quest. He wishes everyone an easy trip, and understands that no one is free from occasional obstacle. He hopes that by writing true, current articles, he will help get the person on the receiving end to the finish line in the easiest and fastest means possible.
