Leaving a Track. Scientists generally agree that CAT occurs when a stream of fast-flowing air passes through an air mass moving at a lower velocity or in the opposite direction. The resulting shearing action produces turbulence-often severe-at the boundaries of the stream. CAT is usually encountered near the constantly shifting west-to-east jet stream and near mountain ranges, where cold air frequently spills at great speed down the leeward slopes. Although the turbulence is obvious to any pilot caught in it, it cannot be seen by the human eye. Attempts to detect CAT with devices that...
...Sophomore Night at last week's A.A.U. Track and Field championships. Under the lights at Memorial Stadium in Bakersfield, Calif., a crowd of 11,600 watched in awe as a pair of second-year college boys proved that youth can serve itself, thank you, with record-breaking performances that did much to boost U.S. hopes for the 1968 Olympics-and beyond...
...Mulsanne Straight. Unfortunately for Enzo, Ford had a better idea: a new prototype of its own, called the Mark IV, that carried a 7-liter engine and 500 horses under its hood. In pre-race trials, Ferrari mechanics watched disconsolately as four Mark IVs lapped the 8.3-mile track at better than 144 m.p.h., hitting speeds as high as 215 m.p.h. on the straight. The best any of the P4s could muster was a 142-m.p.h...
...Andretti. Running second in the No. 3 Mark IV, Andretti barreled into a turn at 150 m.p.h., only to lose control of the car when his right front brake grabbed. The Mark IV caromed off one wall, then another, bounced back and finally spun to a stop in mid-track - directly in the path of two other Fords, Mark II-model backup cars driven by Roger McCluskey and Jo Schlesser. "I didn't know if Mario was still in the car," McCluskey said later, "and I knew I would kill...
