LSR Jargon |
|
1/4 Speed |
At Bonneville, it is the first quarter mile speed of the first measured mile, not valid for a record. The speed given for the quarter mile speed is the one which will tell you if a really big number is coming. |
|
1st, 2nd, 3rd Mile Speeds |
At Bonneville, the average speed of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th mile respectively. But these are the miles that can be used to qualify on a record. |
|
Absolute LSR |
Absolute land speed record is the fastest speed achieved by any wheeled vehicle on land, as opposed to one on water or in the air. The record is standardized as the speed over a course of fixed length, averaged over two runs (commonly called "passes") in opposite directions within one hour. A new record mark must exceed the previous one by one percent to be validated. The current absolute record holder is ThrustSSC, a twin turbofan-powered car which achieved 763 miles per hour (1,228 km/h) for the mile (1.6 km), breaking the sound barrier. |
| Aerodynamics | The science of understanding different forces acting on a moving element in gasses such as air. The application of this study to racing is credited with much of the sport's recent progress as teams learn more about drag, air turbulence, and down force. |
| Air Dam | A deflector shroud at the vehicle from to block excessive on-coming air from flowing beneath the chassis. |
| Axle Ratio | The ratio between the rotational speed (RPM) of the drive shaft and that of the driven wheel. Gear reduction in final drive is determined by dividing the number of teeth on the ring gear by the number of teeth on the pinion gear. |
|
Back door |
At Bonneville, the 132' timing trap at the end of the 5th mile, invalid for records but where you get the big numbers. At El Mirage, going out the back door refers to a driver not stopping in the designated area and continuing down the lakebed into the non-controlled area - dangerous for everyone and strictly disallowed. |
| Balaclava | Fire resistant headgear worn under helmets to help avoid burns to the face and neck. |
|
The Bend in the Road |
At Bonneville, the bend in the road is the only turn on the access road between where it ends (see next definition) and where it intersects with I-80. |
| Black Rock Desert | The lake bed is located 100 miles North of Reno, Nevada. The lakebed is a dried alkaline. When dry enough to run on, about September to November, it looks parched, cracked and dusty. When the wind blows, and it really blows hard at times, the visibility drops to near zero. The course can be as long as 19 miles. There is considerable rubble on the surface so defodding is necessary. The surface acoustics of the dirt appears to have aided the supersonic run by the Thrust SSC by absorbing the sound shock wave rather than reflecting it back to the bottom of the vehicle. |
| Blower | Either a turbocharger or supercharger compressor for increasing volume and pressure of intake air into a vehicle engine. |
| Boost | The amount of pressure generated by a turbocharger or supercharger as it forces the air/fuel mixture into a forced induction engine. |
| Bore | The diameter of an engine cylinder or bearing. |
| Bonneville Salt Flats | The salt flats are located 4 miles East of Wendover, Utah. At one time the course covered over 100,000 acres and the salt depth was over 36 inches. Today the salt flats is closer to 26,000 acres and the salt is three to four inches deep and in some places the mud shows through the salt. The old "International Course" was 13 miles long. Currently we have only seven miles left to race on. The "SAVE THE SALT" campaign has been successful in that Riley Company has been ordered to start a resalting program designed to put .4" of salt back on the race course each year. Eventually we expect to get some distance back and we may once again see the very fast cars breaking records. |
|
Burford Avenue |
At Bonneville, Buford Avenue is the road that runs between the courses from the start line to the timing tower. It's off-limits unless you have requested and been granted permission to use it. |
| Camshaft | The shaft in the engine which is driven by gears, belts or chain from the crankshaft. The camshaft has a series of cams that opens and closes intake and exhaust valves as it turns. |
| Carbon Fiber | Carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum, stronger than steel, and very expensive material. Sheets of carbon fiber cloth are "laid up" like fiberglass by an expert fabricator using a mold, and then heated and reheated for days in an autoclave, a large, high-tech oven. |
| Chute | Short for parachute, used for high speed braking. |
| Clicked It | Racer slang for turned off the engine. |
| Closed Crankcase Ventilation | A system in which crankcase vapors are discharged into the engine intake system (usually via the intake manifold) where they are burned during the combustion process rather than being discharged into the atmosphere. |
| Closed Loop | Vehicle automatic engine management using data fed back by sensors to adjust/correct engine operation within specified limits. Often fuel control is managed for fuel/air ratio mixture and ignition spark timing using oxygen sensors. |
| Combustion Chamber | The volume of space at the top of the cylinder where burning of the air/fuel mixture begins. |
| Compression Ratio | The volume of the combustion chamber and cylinder when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, divided by the volume of the combustion chamber and cylinder when the piston is at the top of its stroke. Higher compression ratios tend to increase engine efficiency. |
| Compression Test | A diagnostic procedure involving measuring the maximum pressure attained while rotating a piston engine at cranking speed. |
| Connecting Rod | The metal rod that connects a piston to the crankshaft. |
| Cool Suit | A shirt lined with a single tube that winds all over. Cold water is pumped through the tube and it cools the driver. This shirt is worn under the driver's fire suit. In addition a helmet blower is used to blow cool air into the driver's helmet. Used in combination, a driver can become much more comfortable during the summer races. |
| Crankcase | A case that encloses the crankshaft. In most engines, the oil pan and the lower portion of the cylinder block form the crankcase. |
| Crank | A shaft with one or more cranks, or "throws," that are coupled by connecting rods to the engine's pistons. The combustion process creates reciprocating motion in the rods and pistons which in turn is converted to a rotating motion by the crankshaft. |
|
Crunchies |
At Bonneville, pressure ridges from the salt drying, they crunch when you walk on them, also rattles your fillings loose if in them when turning off the course. |
| C11 | A type of unleaded racing fuel recommended for engine compression ratios up to 11:1 unrestricted heads and manifolds and carburetors. Color: Orange or Purple and motor octane 104. |
| C12 | A type of unleaded racing fuel recommended for engine compression ratios below 15:1, satisfying the needs of 75% of today's race engines. The best all around racing fuel made and one of the winningest fuels in racing history. Color: Green and motor octane 108. |
| C14 | A type of unleaded racing fuel recommended for naturally aspirated engines operating at over 8000 RPMs with engine compression ratios of 14:1and over. Color: Yellow and motor octane 114. |

| C16 | A type of leaded racing fuel used in turbocharged engines, blown engines and nitrous applications with engine compression ratios up to 17:1. Color: Blue and motor octane 117. |
| DAG | Acronym for "Data Acquisition Geek," a computer expert who maintains a team's data acquisition system and analyzes the data. |
| Data Acquisition | Teams use sophisticated sensors, transmitters, computers and software to provide information on what the car and driver are doing. The information is analyzed to improve performance and even driver technique. |
| Diesel Engine | A diesel engine uses heavier weight components than gas engines to handle higher compression ratios. Typically, diesel engines run with greater efficiency and higher torque than similar size gas engines. These attributes lead to better fuel economy and towing performance. Diesel engines do not have spark plugs or carburetors. Instead glow plugs are used to preheat air in the cylinders to ensure easy starts. Once the engine is started, compression heats the fuel in the cylinders for combustion. |
| Differential | The gear assembly connected to the drive shaft that permits the wheels to turn at different speeds when going around a corner, while transmitting power from the drive shaft to the wheel axles. |
|
Dirty Two's |
The El Mirage 200 MPH Club, affectionately known as the Dirty Two's, was founded in 1973 to recognize the drivers and motorcycle riders who have set records at the dry lakes in excess of 200 MPH during an SCTA sanctioned event. The charter members forming this SCTA exclusive group were: Bob Beattie, Phil Freudiger, Bob Haselwerdt, Howard Johnson, Jerry Jones, Burke LeSage, Mike Swain, Al Teague, George Vose and Monte Wolfe. |
| Displacement | In an engine, the total volume of air or air-fuel mixture an engine is theoretically capable of drawing into all cylinders during one operating cycle. Generally expressed in liters or cubic inches. Engine displacement is equal to (bore) x (bore) x (stroke) x (number of pistons) x (.785). |
| Distributor | A component of the ignition system, usually driven by the camshaft that directs high-voltage surges to the spark plugs in the proper sequence. |
| Drag Coefficient | A measure of the aerodynamic sleekness of an object. Drag coefficient is signified by "dc.: The lower the number, the greater the aerodynamic efficiency. The higher the drag coefficient, the more a car's engine must work to keep a given road speed. Also known as "CD" for coefficient of drag." |
| Drive Shaft | The shaft that transmits power from the transmission to the differential in a rear-drive power train. |
| Drivetrain | The power-transmitting components in a car, including clutch, gearbox (or automatic transmission), driveshaft, universal joints, differential and axle shafts. |
| Dual Overhead Camshafts | A Dual Overhead Camshafts (DOHC) engine has two camshafts in each cylinder head; one camshaft actuates intake valves and the other actuates exhaust valves. The camshafts act directly on the valves, eliminating pushrods and rocker arms. This reduced reciprocating mass of the valve train enables the engine to build RPM more quickly. DOHC designs are typically high-performance, four valve per cylinder engines. (A four valve per cylinder two intake and two exhaust design helps the engine "breathe" more freely for increased performance.) |
| Dyno | Dynamometer. A device which absorbs and measures the power derived by an internal combustion engine. This engine testing device is used in the shop and measures power and simulates the loads and environment of the racing engine. |
| El Mirage | El Mirage dry lake bed has been home to Land Speed Racing (LSR) for more than half a century. It is located just 30 miles east of a growing high desert community known as the Antelope Valley. There are five (5) one day races per year, May/June/July/Sep/Oct and a two day race in November. Racing began at El Mirage in 1944. |
| Electronic Fuel Injection System | A system that injects fuel into the engine and includes an electronic control unit to time and meter the fuel flow. |
| ECU | Engine Control Unit or Black Box. |
| Exhaust Manifold | The network of passages that gathers the exhaust gases from the various exhaust ports and routes them toward the catalyst, the muffler and the exhaust system. |
| Fire Bottles | The slang term for fire extinguishers. In some cases the fire extinguisher is activated by a push or pull control within the vehicle. |
| First Mile | At Bonneville, the first mile is the 3rd mile on the long course, that is it is the first of three miles that are timed (the first two miles of the course are not time, but allow the vehicle to get up to speed). |
| Fish Tail | Repetitive side-to-side weaving of an out-of-control vehicle often leads to a spin. |
| Flat Head | An engine cylinder head without a profiled depression above the cylinder bore (contour, hemisphere, or wedge) with the combustion area volume determined solely by the height to which the piston rises in the cylinder. |
|
Floating Mountain |
At Bonneville, a small mountain standing by itself in the salt that appears to be floating because of mirage. Used as a landmark by the racers. |
| Fuel Injection, Electronic | A computer-controlled method of delivering fuel under pressure. The computer monitors signals from coolant temperatures, manifold vacuum, exhaust oxygen sensor, and engine cranking sensor. It "tells" the injectors to release and adjust the fuel to yield an air/fuel mixture assuring engine operation well matched with emission requirements, optimum fuel economy and overall vehicle performance. |
| Fuel Pump | A mechanical or electrical device that draws fuel from the fuel tank and delivers it to the carburetor or injectors. |
| FIA | Federation Internationale de l'Automobile. This is the governing body for most auto racing around the world. |
| Fire Suit | Fire-resistant clothing which is required apparel for drivers as well as crew members and anyone else in the pits during a race. |
| Gear Box | The transmission attached to the rear of the engine. |
| Gear Ratio | The number of revolutions a driving (pinion) gear requires to turn a driven (ring) gear through one complete revolution. For a pair of gears, the ratio is found by dividing the number of teeth on the driven gear by the number of teeth on the driving pinion gear. |
| Headers | Fine-tuned exhaust system that routes exhaust from the engine. Replaces conventional exhaust manifolds. Quality headers have equal lenght tubes for each cylinder. |
| Headsock | A fire resistant head mask or balaclava. |
| Horsepower | The estimated power needed to lift 33,000 lbs. one foot per minute roughly equated with a horse's strength. |
| Hydraulic | The slang term describing an extensive engine failure in which massive amounts of raw fuel fail to ignite within a cylinder during compression; since a liquid can not be compressed, the tremendous force of the piston's compression stroke is directed to the cylinder head, which is then blown off the engine (or the cylinder wall, which is blown out of the engine). |
| Intercooler | An intercooler, or charge air cooler, is an air-to-air or air-to-liquid heat exchange device used on turbocharged and supercharged (forced induction) internal combustion engines to improve their volumetric efficiency by increasing intake air charge density through isochoric cooling. A decrease in air intake temperature provides a denser intake charge to the engine and allows more air and fuel to be combusted per engine cycle, increasing the output of the engine. |
|
Impound |
A place you want to visit (also know as Warnerville). |
| Lag | Turbo lag. The time it takes a turbocharger to "boost" an engine's power from the moment the driver pushes the throttle. |
|
Lakester |
This class are specially constructed in such a way that there is no streamlining, fairing or covering of the wheels and tires. This class of cars is the second fastest, only the streamliners are faster. All wheels are located outside the widest body section with no wheel aerodynamic coverings. |
| Lake Gairdner | Lake Gairdner is home to land speed racing in Australia. Lake Gairdner is located in the State of South Australia and is the largest of a group of shallow depressions west of Lake Torrens in central South Australia, 240 mi (550 kilometers) northwest of Adelaide, the State capital. It measures 100 mi (160 km) long by 30 mi wide. Lying at the base of the Eyre Peninsula, the lake is a dry salt pan (playa) intermittently filled with water. The lake is very remote. |
|
Land's End |
At Bonneville, land's end is where the paved access road ends. There's security there and treacherous driving along the sides of the road, so if you're headed on to the Salt you will go to Land's End. There are other names for Land's End, too. |
| Land Speed Racing | The land speed racing is where vehicle travel in a straight path and there average speed of a measured distance (usually a mile) is determined and compared to established records. |
| Last Mile | At Bonneville, the last mile is the 5th mile on the long course, that is it is the last of three miles that are timed (the first two miles of the course are not time, but allow the vehicle to get up to speed). |
| Leak-Down Test | An engine compression/condition test consisting of pressurizing the combustion chamber from an external source and using specially designed pressure gages to measure the leakage round rings, valves, and other leak-prone areas. |
|
Long Course |
At Bonneville, the long course is five miles long where the average speed of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th mile are calculated and check to see if the vehicle has qualified for a record (2 miles to get up to speed, then three one mile timed segments). The long course is used for records with speeds greater than 175MPH (the short course is used for the "slower" speeds). |
|
Marker |
The numbers on the orange placards on the course |
| Multi-Port Fuel Injection | Multi-Port Fuel Injection uses individual fuel injectors to spray fuel into each intake port, bypassing the intake manifold. |
| Methanol | Is the simplest alcohol, containing one carbon atom. A high octane fuel that offers excellent acceleration and vehicle power. |
| Middle Mile | At Bonneville, the middle mile is the 4th mile on the long course, that is it is the second of three miles that are timed (the first two miles of the course are not time, but allow the vehicle to get up to speed). |
| Muroc | Murco Dry Lake is the original site which hosted many LSR race events until WWII. Muroc Dry Lake is at Edwards Air Force Base, near Lancaster, CA. The race course is 1.5 miles long in the dirt, a dry lakebed, lots and lots of powdery dust. |
| NACA Scoop | A proboscis-like air inlet duct for engines or other inside-air needs. Sticks out into an area of smooth air flow away from exterior surfaces and streamlined to improve vehicle aerodynamics. |
| Nomex | A fire and head resistant material used to make driving suites, gloves, shoes, helmet liners, balaclavas, underwear, and fresh air hose covers. |
| Open Loop | A control system for an operation or process in which there is no self-correcting action as there is in a closed-loop. |
| Overhead Cam | The type of valve train arrangement in which the engine's camshaft is mounted above the cylinder head(s). When the camshaft is placed close to the valves, the valve train components can be stiffer and lighter, allowing the valves to open and close more rapidly and the engine to run at a higher RPM. In a single overhead cam (SOHC) layout, one camshaft actuates all of the valves in a cylinder head. In a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) layout, one camshaft actuates the intake valves, and one camshaft operates the exhaust valves. |
| Peddling | Peddling means simply to lift off the accelerator momentarily to slow your speed for whatever reason necessary, most often it is because the vehicle tires are spinning and lifting will allow the tires a chance to "hook up". |
| Pinion | A gear with a small number of teeth designed to mesh with a larger geared wheel or a rack. Used in rack and pinion steering and the differential ring and pinion. |
| Piston | A partly hollow cylindrical part closed at one end, fitted to each of the engine's cylinders and attached to the crankshaft by a connecting rod. Each piston moves up and down in its cylinder, transmitting power created by the exploding fuel to the crankshaft via a connecting rod. |
| Pit Lizard | Nickname for a racing groupie. |
| Power Band | A subjectively defined RPM range over which an engine delivers a substantial portion of its peak power. The power band usually extends from slightly below the engine's torque peak to slightly above its horsepower peak. |
| Power Plant | Commonly used term for engines. |
| Powertrain | A name applied to the group of components used to transmit engine power to the driving wheels. It can consist of engine, clutch, transmission, universal joints, drive shaft, differential gear, and axle shafts. Powertrain components are matched according to driver needs such as high torque, fuel economy, or convenience. |
| Pushrod | A general term for any rod that transfers force in compression. In a conventional overhead valve layout, pushrods are used to transfer reciprocating motion from the cam followers to a more distant part of a valve train, typically the rocker arms. Pushrods are eliminated in overhead camshaft designs. |
|
Push Truck |
Many of the land speed cars are geared high. A push truck is a support vehicle used by the crew to quickly "push" the car fast enough that the driver can put the car in 1st gear. There are restrictions as to how long a push truck can push. |
| Qualified | At Bonneville, this is the first pass where a vehicle has exceeded an existing record. The vehicle will then have to do a return run and these two speeds will be averaged for the record. |
| Record | At Bonneville, it is when a vehicle has qualified for a record and completed a return run with the average speed greater than the previous record. At El Mirage, a record happens when a vehicle exceeds the previous record on a single pass. |
|
Red Flame |
At Bonneville, the food vendor is a restaurant that sets up near the pits and serves breakfast and lunch all week long. |
| Return Run | At Bonneville, a return run is happens after a vehicle has qualified for a record. If the average of the two passes is greater than the previous record, a new record is established. The return runs usually happen first thing in the morning. |
|
Re-Inspection |
Re-inspection is somewhere you don't want to visit.......... |
| Rev Limiter | Many engines are controlled by electronic "mapping" software that controls things such as fuel consumption and ignition timing. Rev limiting is used to keep the engine from exceeding it maximum rotational speed and exploding into bits for very expensive shrapnel. |
| Ring-and-Pinion Gear | Any gear set consisting of a small gear (the pinion gear) which turns a large-diameter annular gear (the ring gear). Used in rear-drive differentials (rear ends) to transfer power from the driveshaft to the axle and wheels. |
| Roll Bar | Large, sturdy bars designed to protect a driver's head if the car rolls over. |
| Shift Points | The best engine r.p.m. at which to shift gears. Some production and race cars have lights to indicate when a driver should shift gears. |
| Short Course | At Bonneville, the short course is three miles long where the average speed of the 3rd mile is calculated and check to see if the vehicle has qualified for a record (2 miles to get up to speed, then one timed mile). The short course is used for records with speeds less than 175MPH (the long course is used for the "faster" speeds). |
| Shut Down | Turning a car off to avoid mechanical damage or an accident. Often times, drivers shut down so a mechanical problem doesn't lead to more severe and expensive consequences. Racers often shut their cars down when they get out of control. |
|
Speed |
Often when racers are talking about speed they drop the first digit of the speed. For example: 234.556mph is said "34 and change". Racers know the first digit by the type of vehicle that is being talked about. |
| Speedweek | The Grand Finale of all Land Speed Racing events. Happens every 3rd full week of August on the Bonneville Salt Flats. 12 miles of hard salt make the race track. Sponsored by the Southern California Timing Association. This is where the history of LSR comes from. The vast area of flat, hard salt make it all possible and one of the only places in the world to conduct long distance Land Speed Racing. |
| Spoiler | An aerodynamic device, normally on the rear of the vehicle, that changes the direction of airflow in order to reduce lift aerodynamic drag. A spoiler either reduces drag or create a downward force on the car. It is called a spoiler because it "spoils" the normal air flow over the car. |
|
Streamliner |
This vehicle class is for the all-out land speed record car. Cars in this class have at least four wheels, with at least two wheels covered (usually all four). |
| Stroke | The distance the piston travels from bottom dead center to top dead center within the cylinder. |
| Supercharger |
Supercharging is the
compression of an engine's intake charge above atmospheric pressure by
means of an air pump driven by a crankshaft. This is not to be confused
with a turbocharger which is an air pump that is exhaust driven. A supercharger can provide boost faster than a turbo and over a much broader engine rpm range. The disadvantages of supercharging are higher power demands, more mechanical noise and more complex control requirements. |
| Tachometer | An instrument for measuring the speed of the engine crankshaft in revolutions per minute (RPM). |
|
Tank Slapper |
When just the right conditions are present, the handlebars on a motorcycle can start oscillating uncontrollably from side to side. Most commonly, this happens at high speed, or when there's not much weight on the front tire (such as while accelerating) and often a cause of motorcycle crashes. |
| Tech | Short for tech (or technical) inspection. Each car is submitted to tech inspection so sanctioning body officials can confirm all chassis and engine parts meet series' guidelines. A "teched" car has passed inspections. |
| Throttle-Body | Throttle-Body Fuel Injection is a type of Electronic Fuel Injection which positions the injector(s) centrally in a throttle-body housing. This housing contains a valve to regulate the airflow through the intake manifold. |
| Time Slip | This is a ticket that you're given after you race. It is basically a chart showing what your E.T. and speed was at various points along the course. |
| Timing | Timing refers to the crankshaft angles at which the valves open and close and at which time the ignition system fires the spark plugs. |
| Torque | Engine torque is the amount of twisting effort exerted at the crankshaft by an engine expressed in foot-pounds of force. A foot-pound represents the force of one pound acting at the right angle to the rotating crankshaft at distance of one foot in length. |
|
The Truckstop |
At Bonneville, the truckstop is a Sinclair fuel stop situated at I-80 Exit 4 (where the road to Land's End crosses). The truckstop also sports a Mexican restaurant that serves great food from a relatively limited menu -- and the place is a haunt of racers. Go in there at breakfast time and you'll sooner or later see darned near everyone that's worth seeing. |
| Turbocharger | Rotary compressor or pump that pressurizes engine intake air. It is driven by the flow of exhaust gases. The increased pressure forces more air into the cylinder than it could normally draw, allowing the engine to burn more fuel and in turn produce more power. Essentially the condensed air increases the air/fuel mixture to create more power. |
| Valve | A device that can be opened or closed to allow or prevent the flow of a liquid or gas from one place to another. Most internal combustion engines use intake and exhaust valves to allow fuel/air mixture into the cylinders and to exhaust burnt gases. Some engines have four valves per cylinder, which increases total valve area for increased efficiency and performance. |
| Valve Lifter | The cylindrical component that presses against the lobe of a camshaft and moves up and down as the cam lobe rotates, opening and closing an intake or exhaust valve. Virtually all modern valve lifters are of an hydraulic design that uses a cushion foil to promote quiet operation. |
| Valve Train | The collection of parts that make the valves operate, allowing fuel intake, compression and exhaust. Includes the camshaft(s) and all related drive components, and the various parts that convert the camshaft's rotary motion into reciprocating motion at the valves. |
| Vortex Generator | A vortex generator is an aerodynamic surface, consisting of a small vane that creates a vortex. Vortex generators are likely to be found on the external surfaces of vehicles where flow separation is a potential problem because vortex generators delay flow separation. They are typically rectangular or triangular. |
|
Wall |
Because of aerodynamics, the wall is the point that you are either out of horsepower or traction and you are not going faster until you get more of what you are short of. |
| Wind Screen | A transparent fiberglass surface on the front of a car designed to aid air flow and deflect turbulent air from the driver. |

Jim Jensen |
Chief Starter. Nice guy, pretty easy to live with, drives the drag truck, too. Best phrase to use: "Jim, how're the knees? Looks like you've lost some weight, too!" |
|
Lee Kennedy |
No known soft spots. Drives a big white pickup (used to be red). Is reported to have been friendly to a racer, but this has not been corroborated. Best phrase to use: "Hi, Lee, No, I wasn't driving it -- he's already left the salt." A visit with Lee Kennedy is like a traffic cop having a bad day. You could get a warning ticket or a verbal butt chewing or if your vehicle is not handling, spins or other infractions Lee then becomes the Judge and Jury, he can also be your best friend. |
|
Bill Taylor |
Chief starter on the short course. Really friendly, wears open-finger gloves. From Minnesota. Best phrase to use: "Love them hockey Golden Gophers!" |
|
Dan Warner |
Impound. Dan is the Mayor of Impound, aka Warnerville. If you are in Impound and he says,"give me a beer", go get a beer. If you qualify and do not have a beer, you immediately dispatch someone to town for a 6 pack... just a suggestion to make your life easier.... OK, just kidding, beer won't get you anything in impound, but it will make it easier to make friends with the mayor. |
If you have any additional jargon, please send to me and I will add it.
