Here it is scaled roughly so that the runways on the airports are the same size.

In the press conference NASCAR has stated that this penalty is not because of what the #15 did (spin) it's because the #55 was told to pit so somebody else could pass them (Joey Logano) and gain a point. In theory, atleast to me, telling the #55 to pit for that reason is no different then a team telling one car to let…

Could always do a 5 screen setup, the wide view across 4 screens set along the upper half of your wall & then a 5th screen centered below it to have the network feed.

Beings that it's Texas wouldn't it have made more sense for it to be a Mexican (of any gender) to make it look like the truck is being used by a smuggler.

I've always had this dream of buying (or building) a large airplane hanger type of building & then building a town type structure inside it as a house for me and my family.

With modern tanning/sun lamps the sunlight could easily be reproduced much better now then the original systems could & I would think with small fans (like used in computers) a system could be setup to simulate a decent random breeze. The only real thing I would like to change but can't (well not easily) would be to…

Atleast looking at the pictures I think the now cheesy looking styling sort of gives it that charming cozy feeling. Then again after about a week or two living in it I'd probaly be all to willing to completely rip it out and remodel.

Really? I've always thought of the GMC as the "Cheap No-Frills Work Truck" version of the Chevy.

So many references to OR, yet so little to Virtual Boy :( Am I really that old? haha

That wasn't so much the chicane or the kerbing as much as it was that guy decided he wanted to try and drive through the tire bundle.

I've got one of those Printer/Scanner combos that makes you print out it's test page & then scan it in to make sure it's printing right.

According to an interview with ESPN that slap dislocated his jaw. He also then went into Skeens hauler and threw the woman that slapped him down some steps (I'm guessing the steps that lead to the seating area above the 5th wheel hitch of the trailer), though he claims he simply shoved her out of the way & she…

According to this picture the crew member is pretty far out from his own car.

Tire Carrier 101: Hold the tire to your outside so that if by chance you do get hit the tire takes the direct hit & not your body. This is done because there is less of a chance of you being sucked under the car if it's hitting the tire first and you're body is almost 2' away from the outside of the tire.

Here is the thing though, it is 100% legal to drive through the corner of the pitbox infront of you on exit which is why they move the outside rear wheel instead of leaving it there until after their car leaves like they do with the outside front wheel.

Soaring through the air on the wings of an angel.

If you look closely it appears that the dashboard is damaged/pushed up in the air so it does seem plausible that something penetrated the cabin or pushed through the front firewall into them.

Armco is actually the preferred barrier form recommended by the FIA for all FIA Grade 1 (aka F1) tracks, even COTA is almost entirely lined with it. Tire Barriers are pretty standard fare in F1 as well, though more and more tracks are replacing them with TecPro Barriers.

Couple of reasons.
#1 NASCAR isn't going to pay the fees Bernie wants to have F1 at their track.
#2 Even with it's recent safety upgrades the track is barely an FIA Grade 2 track and it needs to be an FIA Grade 1 track in-order to hold an F1 race, for the track to achieve Grade 1 it'd have to be neutered so much that…
