I don’t know what their reasoning is. The Mid Ohio Xfinity race will be on USA too.

Window tear-offs? Pfft!

Martinsville and Kansas were also on FS1. The weird thing is that the Dover Xfinity race was on Fox, but the Cup race was on FS1. Just wait until Aug. 7th. Watkins Glen is on the USA Network. 10s of people are going to remember to watch that race.

Yeah, I'd eat it too. A lot of fast food sandwiches look just as bad. I also have no shame.

Whereas Alfa Romeo says, “You want to buy one of our cars?... Good luck.”

I really dislike the stock BMW 2002 wheel. It’s not just the look, but it feels weird to hold onto. The texture is all off. The horn buttons are all hard to push. Not to mention, at this age, the spokes start to crack where they come transition into the wheel.

Wasn’t it the point of that Univ. of Sheffield study to account for all of those variables to figure out driver ranking? The study wasn't very kind to Alberto Ascari, but Schumacher made the top ten.

“...I’m a miserable old bastard who’s writing this on a CP/M machine...”

You could still fall asleep with Buddy Baker talking?

Since the accident occurs when the rear brakes lock up going into the corner, could that point to an ABS failure/poor calibration as opposed to driver error?

Now I’m even more excited for this race.

Yup. That’s Mir Mine in Mirny, Russia; an abandoned diamond mine. Glad someone else noticed it.

I can't read "for the Rest of Us" in the title without thinking this article needs to mention Festivus at least once. A Panther chassis is perfect for feats of strength.

We had to run 20mm restrictors on the FSAE cars, so the 600cc Honda F4i only made 65hp.

I did Formula SAE in college (approx. 800lbs with driver). Light weight and skinny tires can be a lot of fun. We got to use disc brakes too. I’d love to try a light car at Thunderhill, but I think my Alfa Romeo will be strictly an autocross car when it’s done.

I’m usually around 135mph on the approach to turn 1. My car is heavy though, so I brake hard in many corners. I had partial brake failure braking after the bridge in February. I’m lucky I didn’t end up in the tires.

I need to make an audiobook of this text and play it on repeat next time I'm there. Your approach to Turn 1 is so much smarter than mine. I spend too much time worrying about straight line speed and late braking. The double apex of turn 2 is great as well.

I thought most of them died when the cam gear fell off the camshaft.

Ghost is right there in the orange circle. The colors of the car and road bleed together.

I usually go with performance above all else, but I think I’m going to have to go with the Lusso this time. I think, in this particular case, the less aggressive treatment is the more attractive. If only I could have the Abarth mechanical bits with the Lusso body.
