Yeah—a bunch of people are now saying that it wasn't FCY yet, and that he jumped out of the stand before his stand's yellow was called in. That's suuuuuuper risky, not to mention a surefire way to never be invited back to volunteer again.

Maybe not quite VTOL seeing as the plane appears to be moving forward beyond the deck. STOL perhaps?

No, none at all in road racing, some run clockwise, some anti-clockwise. NASCAR always runs anti due to side impact protection, aka the driver being away from the wall.

There is no convention. Laguna seca is CCW. Sonoma Raceway, not far away, is CW.

Well, the actual alternative is don’t drink and drive.

You didn’t quote the most important part: “I have lots of time now, but trust me by this summer I won’t”

Hmmmm....do I...avoid Fox Sports for being the kind of place that employs Clay Travis and publishes shit like “How To Land A Husband At The Masters”?

Depends on how fast a lap is. Say they're around 1:30 per trip around the circuit, then you can fit an extra 10 laps in before a big precip event hits. This could be the difference in calling it a 'rainout' before the halfway mark, or being able to call the race with the minimum required number of laps run(Apologies,…

I think it was more the lightning that ended quali rather than the rain.

Moving to WEC can never be called a bad move. :P Besides the endurance runs, it seems the most innovation we've seen in sports car racing recently are coming from WEC prototypes. It's probably the only serious track-oriented racing event that has cars with the greatest varying amounts of engine layouts, displacement,…

That fastest lap is almost 4 seconds faster than the 2010 pole position time, wich was done with a 900hp 5.5l V10 twin-turbo Audi with wider tires, wider floor and no fuel limit.

Prison City...is that Detroit’s nickname?

There seems to be quite a few 370H55V’s around.
