Though adverse conditions forced the cancellation of the Radcliffe heavyweight crew’s dual-race against Brown, the lightweight crew were the champs of the Potomac, sweeping both races against Georgetown in Washington D.C. to win the Class of 2004 Cup. Both boats emerged victorious over Georgetown for No. 5 Radcliffe despite windy and wavy conditions out on the river. Rowing on the Potomac in April is no joke, as the winds—reaching as high as 25 miles per hour—and currents made even rowing in a straight line far from simple...
Harvard’s heavyweight and lightweight crew teams opened their seasons this weekend, and both teams turned in strong performances.

...season opener for the Radcliffe lightweight crew team, the Black and White managed to prevail in two out of three races against Holy Cross and Smith College at Lake Quinsigamond yesterday. “It was really great to get a first race under our belt as we prepare for Georgetown next week,” captain Rebekah Kharrazi said. “Today, we raced heavyweight teams that are actually not in our league, so next week is the real beginning, because we are racing teams in our own league.” The Varsity Eight and Novice Eight...

That 1990 TIME story was heralding a liquid-crystal technology called IMAX Solido...
...long way in its 25 years. From two tiny offices, the company, which designs and manufactures hi-tech gearboxes for racing cars, now occupies a sleek, 88,000 sq. ft. (8,200 sq m), purpose-built site in Berkshire, a one-hour drive west of London. Xtrac sells its lightweight, high-strength components to the majority of teams competing in Formula One, motor racing's blue-ribbon championship. But the road ahead suddenly seems a lot bumpier. With Formula One teams racing to cut costs amid the economic downturn, Xtrac is selling fewer gearbox parts this year. Cushioned...
