From a friend who build and raced dragsters where power to weight was a vital key to success.

After lightening everything he determined the best bracket is no bracket at all. This sticks in my mind every time I engineer anything - lol

Not sure if this is more "Tell us something we don't know" or "Favorite Quote or Saying", but since you brought this up here, I have one: "If half the stuff on your boat isn't broken by the end of the race day, you built it too heavy."

This quote is paraphrased by something I heard one of the boat builders say in the 2010 America's Cup, where the massively-overpowered and tippy Oracle beat Alinghi in light air, after having debated canceling the race due to "high winds" that weren't really very high by old standards.

The best bracket quote is one of my favorite quotes and I repeat it every time I design something.
Right now I need to build a footrest for my left foot when driving the tractor for long periods to brace my bad back against the constant jarring.

This was stolen from something Eagle had posted in the Groan thread, and I guess it would make you groan, but I thought it was worth posting here as a favorite quote: "The di1do of consequences rarely arrives lubed."
