    the one hole wonder

    Looks to be a nice ride, love the old school drag cars. The trophies are circle track. The bike in my pics is a Gas Gas EC300, slang-"Gasser." Bought it from Eurosport in Arvada in a crate, aka "roller."

    NiCd Batteries in a LiOn drill?

    These are 1.5ah and 3.0ah. Mah is more along the lines of AAA cells. Because the large packs are really two of the small packs wired in parallel they not only have twice the capacity, but also have twice the peak current capability.
