Street course =/= road course

Not so much this particular example, but the 5 (6?) full course cautions in a 100 minute race kind of show why this track isn’t a good track for this series.

And cost Corvette a 1-2!

This. Save the 40k new car purchase for when you are actually working and earning money. It’s so much harder to spend that kind of money on a car when you actually understand what it takes to acquire it.

A used Civic is not a bad idea, it’s exactly what I got my daughter. But it’s NOT, not in a million years, what should be purchased with lottery money.

Tax on people who are bad at math.

I was one of a handful that refused to play our lotto pool at work.

I prefer the chop top challenge ending:

There are 30k parts in a car and the ability to design/manufacture/install those pieces (while turning a profit!) is incredibly difficult. I think you’re really underestimating the knowledge that it takes to manufacture vehicles.

Seems to unfairly weight the standing ability to manufacture a traditional, gas powered automobile.
I’m expecting that skill to decrease in value as electric cars before more standard.

You’re not sure why visibility would be a factor, then say they’re usually double yellows because of a lack of visibility? Well, I think you found out why that would be a factor.

Thanks for the info. Much lighter exception and higher speed limit than I would have expected.

I’ve read that in the comments here but I have yet to see proof or hear the reason it was dismissed.

Which was my point. If there is a good line of sight there is probably another reason why there is a double yellow and you shouldn’t be passing there.

I’m not sure why “visibility beyond a certain distance” would grant exception to the no passing zone. These things are set up for a reason (usually a lack of vision of oncoming traffic) so if that condition doesn’t exist there is probably another very good reason you shouldn’t be passing there.

and, get this—the Review-Journal reports that the lawsuit alleges the track car was a “roadster with a convertible top that didn’t have a roll bar or cage.” A previous Review-Journal report said the car was a convertible as well.

To expand on that, the city spent a lot of money keeping the roof inflated (1 million per year IIRC) on an otherwise abandoned building so that the interior was maintained in useable shape. After the soccer deal went sideways the new owner turned it off and ruined the possibility of using it for anything productive…

Pontiac is still upset that they sold the property for a song to a developer that promised the world and now they have a rotting abandoned building.
