There already were double yellows (which is why people are asking why Bianchi lost control of his car there), and the green flag was waved on the marshall's post AFTER the crash site.

It was double yellow. All the drivers reported seeing double yellows. Green flag there is because the coast is clear at that point.

Green flag to signify that it is clear from that point forward. The track marshals further back on the track were waiving yellows or double yellows.

tl;dr version -

I really enjoyed it, I couldn't have asked for much more in terms of an exciting corner in all honesty. I was at 6 Thursday, then I got moved to 11C for Tudor, then back to 11A for WEC. Blue flagging at 11C was nearly impossible!

If you read some of the other comments as well as the actual court proceedings, it seems the jury wasn't necessarily justifying the revenge homicide, but declaring that there wasn't any evidence that the father in question actually committed the crime. No GSR, no weapon, etc.

Yeah, updated to make the lede a little clearer. Thanks.

Mustang. Everyone knows what a Mustang is.

I think a better idea would be to have one sign and actually right STOP DAMMIT! on it. I wouldn't roll that one for sure :)

It isn't like every domestic vehicle is tested in Michigan, with a manufacturer plate....

In all the vehicles I've tested, majority of the hill climb you are at WOT (throttle pinned), there's one small section that has a slight decline and a quick level off before it goes back uphill, that's pretty much the only spot you lift, other than the very beginning of the grade

It's not about sales figures, not even close to that. It's about questioning their testing methods, that's what an engineer does, they question the data

Let's just say I work for an automotive company, which due to confidentiality agreements I won't say which one, but we've been doing SAE J2807 Davis Dam testing since as early as 2011 with our trucks and SUVs. I know that entire document damn near front to back I've had to read it so many times

ok quick education for everyone out there. In easy terms "Proved reserves" mean an oil company has the acreage, and has drilled sufficient well in the acreage to know that yes we we know we have about x much down here and it is economic to drill and produce. You could have equally as much oil/gas in another formation

"gotta love the folks who gripe that their new truck, with twice the power of my old 7.3L PSD, burns more fuel. Well, yeah. Where the hell do you think that extra power came from in the first place?"

My Dad is an engineer for an auto-related field in Auto Alley, and he basically told me that of all the times he had to deal with GM, Powertrain was usually the most tolerable, so there's that.

Man, we all could write the above; anyone that's worked in corporate america for any length of time..
