They don’t care. They release statements saying they are monitoring the situation, working with outside organizations, etc and then go back to printing money. AB-inbev who released a pretty harsh statement about their involvement with the NFL after the Rice dv deal hasn’t mentioned anything about FIFA, the workers…

Was a senior in college on a victory lap before I’d even seen an artichoke. Thankfully the girl I was dating explained how to eat it before I embarrassed myself in front of her entire family.

I play this song in my classroom on the last day, have every year for the last 13, as the kids are leaving. Including today. The songs as much for the teachers as the kids.

For Georgia at least it seems to be about 2-3 times normal registration prices so you’re paying for the benefits of no smog testing and no restrictions.

Not Georgia:

In Gerogia the antique tags are for 25+ and exempt from smog testing. Some of the garbage I’ve seen driving around with these tags are ridiculous - imagine most people down here are using it for that purpose. Heading to look for the restrictions, now.

Not a bad place to be if missing the race. Safe travels.

There’s only twenty of them so doubt it has anything to do with crowd control. http://www.holmatro.com/en//paginas/14…

I think the picture you posted is from the year after the video I posted - didn’t he hit in the same place in subsuquent years (and wasn’t this wreck the impetus for the Michelin/Bridgestone debacle?)

Awesome. We were sitting in the paddock section that hangs down... Forget the fancy name, seats were a birthday gift. You going this weekend?

We were up high enough to see into the cockpit and him not moving. Scary stuff.

There was access from the entrance of pit in onto the track. Wouldn’t be surprised if politics were at play, too. believe that was before Dr. Hartstein’s (sp?) time but I might email and ask.

Having been to quite a few different levels and series of racing over the years, the IndyCar crew is unlike any other. They’re often to the car before it stops sliding after a wreck.

When shopping with my mother-in-law last year for her CR-V she got an email from the internet department with a sales price on a car, unsolicitied - apparently her email got put into the system after a test drive. The number they sent was great, so she printed it and we took it in to buy the car. The sales manager…

Yeah, sucks. I read either femur or pelvic issues. Report was upper thigh I believe.

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.
