So, what is coil binding?

I found this definition in an article on the Internet and thought it might help some of you to understand what it's all about. Also, here's a link to an article that explains why coil binding is so important to race teams. (Note this was published June 3, 2006.)

"Coil binding is when the chassis setup uses the tire as a shock absorber. The right front spring and shock are set just stiff enough to hold the car in a legal position during inspection. Once on the track, under the forces of aerodynamics, the tire becomes the shoulders of the world, supporting in excess of 4400 pounds of mechanical force being generated from a 3400 pound race car."

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming
having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% sure. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Selecting the right finish for the pull out water tap on the predominant color scheme and design. Many people choose finish according to the appliances in their kitchen with shower mixer and chrome matching stainless steel stoves, dishwashers, refrigerators and other colors such as brass and bronze pairing well with basin tap that that have darker tones.
