I had one of those too, the RC Corral in Waukesha (and that’s all I can say about its location...no, seriously, we kept it secret so the area Factory-sponsored assholes wouldn’t show up thinking it was their new testing ground. You genuinely had to “know somebody wink-wink nod-nod” to be told the address). Just a…

IIRC the track’s original configuration was a dragstrip, then that came down and they built an oval, and then that oval was reconfigured into the track’s final form. The part of the dragstrip in the oval’s infield was used for safety vehicles and as a LeMans-shaped landrush start for the short course offroad races

Also it occurs to me that if I’m going to bring up the fall of LGR, I should back that with the story of Vinny’s R/C Raceway. The owners of a HobbyTown USA on the other side of town worked out a deal with a laser tag business just up the road to build an R/C offroad track on their property. The laser tag place had a…

I’ve been meaning to sneak back onto the former LGR property (wait, did I say that out loud?) and snap some photos to share. If you think Google Maps’ view from space looks eerie, it’s genuinely creepy at ground level.

Nemermind, found it. It’s getting nerfed to the middle of the night because of the Packer football game ~sigh~

Formula E Sunday on FOX...like, the main network channel and not FS1, or...? I’m not seeing it on either in my guide

(I’m not getting the opportunities to use this meme nearly as much as I thought I would when I saved it...)

Lake Geneva Raceway in Lake Geneva, WI

Since when was Lime Rock Park located in southeastern Wisconsin?

Lots of good advice in the comments here.

For your consideration:

By my knowledge, it’s not because it’s an elbow-shaped corner with some trees nearby.

He hit between the sections known as “The Dipper” and “Forrest’s Elbow”, and yeah, it’s about the most hardcore part of the circuit. Take, like, two or three copies of Laguna Seca’s “Corkscrew” and glue them together end to end and that’s pretty much it.

I would genuinely enjoy seeing what John Deere would come up with in a streetable utility vehicle.

I think the only thing that’d for sure park my little 2.2L 2WD 1998 Chevrolet S10 pickup would be it getting totalled in an accident. And I don’t mean “insurance company totalled” because feels like these days they’ll total a car for a dented bumper...I mean somebody T-bones the poor thing & the cab and/or frame get…

We do have Robert Acer.

Codemasters seems to be really bad at stuff like this with their PC ports of racing games. I mostly play driving/racing titles and I know in particular DiRT2 and one of their F1 titles was hell-bent on not letting me calibrate & configure my wheel until I was not only in the car ready to go out on track, but sitting…

This even works with electric motors on extremely rare occasion...
