That's rough. I can't imagine a track surviving without local car clubs. If most tracks are like that, then the more they get used the better.

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING.

No kidding. I was behind one today and assumed it was a new SUV model. I then looked down and saw the model: "Cooper S". I guess it was the Countryman version or something.

I hope that most don't stand empty the bulk of the year. Robeling Road in Savannah is booked somewhere around 300 days out of the year, and while I don't know much about the numbers, Road Atlanta holds many major races and hosts SCCA, PCA, and BMW Club events regularly. It has a driving school as well. It's probably…

This is absolutely good for the track and the racing community. Between the cost involved and land restrictions, it is getting harder and harder to build and operate a track in the US. Here in Georgia, the neighbors have been trying to shut down Road Atlanta for years because of noise complaints. and most events and…

I still use my Blackberry Storm.

Agreed. After about a week I was able to find a pair of Allen Edmonds Park Avenue shoes in my size - $30 delivered to my door. They were lightly used and polished to look like new.

VOTE: Lian Li - Any all aluminum case

It should be allowed in the United States if it's not. I'll bet it's much more efficient per space and energy used than a traditional elevator.

I don't torrent. I rip tracks and music videos off YouTube, but I am working to replace all my downloaded music with purchased music on CDs. The music videos were never offered for sale, so I can't really do anything about that.

Wouldn't the cost of running the oven far offset any savings you gain from this? 400 degrees for 30 minutes for 6 *tablespoons*?

I'm not sure about that. Because the center of gravity is above the center of the wheels you would have to lean otherwise you'd be thrown off the bike. Remember, for this to work it can't just work at 10 or 15 miles an hour - it would have to work at 70 to 120 miles an hour. There's no way you could take a tight…

I'm a bit concerned about counter-steering in corners. I'm not sure that the physics works how they think it does.

I was thinking the same thing. It's tough to tell for sure, but I'd bet that those tires wouldn't be street legal in the states. (don't know about Vancouver laws so I can't speak for that)

Awesome. It's clear that everyone here can drive well, but wasn't sure how many people have done it competitively. It's a completely different experience.

I loved your piece you wrote months ago about your weekend at a race track promoting getting into motorsports whichever way that meant. (Can't agree more) http://jalopnik.com/5855477/youve-gotta-get-to-a-race-track

The image for the article is the one from BMW's press release from 4 days ago ... you know, the one linked in the article. It may be BMW's mistake to use that image, but I wouldn't start bitching about the author not doing homework on account of using the image that was supplied by the designer.

It actually is illegal to take a semi truck on that road. The banked corners are far too steep.

I use a Dell SK-8135. It has a rubber spring beneath the keys. The action feels similar to an IBM Model M (the clicky keyboard) but with lighter keys.

I was about to bring this up. The Unicomp Model M isn't "just as good" the original IBM keyboard. It IS the original IBM keyboard.
