Sometimes a Porsche will try and get into your front yard, tho.

Apple on the other hand...

Wow. This site is just up the road from me! I knew Disney was looking at a park in the Mananas area, but I had no idea an F1 track was proposed. Ironically enough Dominion Raceway is moving south to Fredericksburg because of encroaching development and noise complaints. DC can support Summit Point as a club track and…

Palmer Motorsports Park in Massachusetts? Intersting that there seems to be more country-club road courses being built lately. Plus Lemons and other “budget” races are putting racing within the means of employed people able to save a bit up for it.

It’s on life-support now, and that race in particular was a nadir as far as crowd. That’s really saying something considering NOLA was a travesty as well. No one is taking responsibility for promoting the series and each venue is left to promote their events individually. You would think that a series sponsor,…

The frustrating part is that there are definite positive things happening as well. Boston is happening (hope it builds and lasts), there’s talk of returning to Road America and the Indy was a great race, and in general the racing is real good.

It’s looking like the series is becoming primarily road and street courses…

I don’t VIR has the infrastructure to handle high-powered cars, nor do I think they are interested in becoming an Indy Car stop. They ran GT only last year, and are doing the same this year. While being close to Raleigh and reasonable for DC area, Indycar would be a tough sell.

It’s a beautiful course, and the Tudor…

They have the model, but apparently no will share details with them so they can't model the physics. They'd probably have better luck developing a World Challenge lower-class or CTSC Street-Tuner based series.

Incredible. luckily in this case the "guilty" (not really just got a little loose in the final corner) got punished rather than taking out the entire podium. Good ups on the Aston and the Audi.

I think it's due to the funding from Venezuala drying up. Teams relying on Russian and Venezualan pay-drivers are going to suffer. I hope Carlos Slim can bring decent budget to the delta wing and finally get their gearbox sorted.

The nice thing about sim racing in general is that the graphics and cpu requirements are relatively modest. The next gen sims (assetto corsa, rFactor2, PCARS) will require some horsepower, but iRacing wisely has kept focus on performance rather than bells and whistles. Wheels and Pedals are a COMPLETE other story…

The bump is still in effect.

Depends on if you choose to jump on that treadmill. There was a book about i-bankers a while back. One of the fascinating things is that people applied to that job because the banks recruited early, and gave anxious seniors something solid to compete for. In return the "winners" nearly get destroyed physically,…

No worries, you had me at liking RVA more than Williamsburg (apples and oranges I know).

Brad Keselowski also finished with no front end. He got nailed coming out of the pits and had to go straight to the garage. He was pissed! Best race I've ever seen. Lucky to catch it live.

That's a very good point. What of the key things I learned from "Invisible War" is that rapes are committed (at least in the military) by a small group of predators who repeatedly attack victims again and again. Much like child predators, they pick out their victims carefully and build a good relationship with the…

The BJJ community is at a crossroads. Women have trained (albeit in relatively small numbers) for several years. What the community has to decide as a whole is are women full-fledge partners and members with all rights and benefits. Or are they simply a ladies auxiliary or WAG group. Everyone gives lip service to…

She's really really good. She's fought pro, and has gotten medals in the world BJJ championships.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Lots of times girls have gone from crush status to "love her like a sister" and the physical attraction faded, but not the affection. On the other hand, I don't think anyone should apologize for not being attracted to someone they're not attracted to. I wouldn't judge someone who won't…

Also, someone having an interest in you will increase their attractiveness to you. I find that my physical attraction to someone changes as I get to know them. Someone with horrible personality traits will lose their attractiveness rather quickly and their physical appearance will recede to the point that I feel like…
