Re: [ST] RE: 2002 MOTOGP TRIP



Harry, 

No apology is needed.  "Balls to the wall" is an aviation term.  The
controls on a piston engine airplane for throttle, mixture and prop RPM are
various ball-shaped knobs.  When all of the knobs are all the way forward
to the instrument panel, you are at maximum power for take-off.  In an
emergency, you try to push farther forward to the firewall thus, "balls to
the wall".

John
