Reportedly in surgery now. Unlikely he’ll be driving Sunday.

Will be interesting. No way Hinch can drive if he’s having surgery. Hope it’s obviously something he can recover from quickly.

Vautier qualified a car but isn’t driving in the race because of commitments. Don’t remember if they ever said what those were. There’s likely a few drivers around that would be better than lazier with the 30 minute Friday practice. I’d give Legge a call. Doesn’t she have experience with Schmidt?

It really hasn’t been any more crashy than recent years, just that all the accidents have looked considerably worse than usual.

Lazier isn’t the alternate. He’s out. SPM will likely hire someone to drive the car that Hinch qualified and start at the back Sunday.

H Craft superlite and SLC lemans... Saw these or similar at Atlanta Caffiene & Octane wearing Montana plates, guessing that means they’re registered as kit cars (and to an LLC).

They have a twin Turbo v6 setup yet? Wouldn’t mind seeing them at a race at 16th & Georgetown in late May. sticking with the spec racing theme.

Wasn’t it relabeled as “Leon” when the directors cut was released? I feel like I’ve seen it.

That happened with Busch last year with his crash in practice. The issue is once (if) the car recovers grip and the driver is turning into the spin the front wheels are now pointed at the wall.

And the reverse happened to my dad with a Mazda tribute a few years ago. Bought a fwd vehicle that had a differential between the rear wheels.

KTM, handles like it’s driving on a rail!

We rode in a couple of different Ford Transit taxis last week on a trip - there was 6 of us plus luggage and a stroller. They were great. Easy to get in and out of and with them set up in three rows we could just toss the stroller in without having to break it down - which was quicker for everyone.

In the sense that you’re probably dealing with 10k in cash, I’d think so.

Not unlike the steps one should take before going out on open water.

I’ve seen two of these lately... had no idea they ever existed.

These were awesome when they were released. The color scheme hasn’t aged well (or the pastel berretas) though.

With so many on leases (at least in Georgia, with all the incentives/tax breaks which are ending soon) I imagine the market will be flooded with returned/off-lease ones in the next couple of years, which muddies the water even more, let alone the 20 year outlook.

Just carpenter bees for us, racquetball rackets work well. Those dam things did so much damage to a fence that I had to replace it.

What’s that awesome catamaran in the background?
