You're right. I was thinking from a road course perspective (having never raced on an oval), in which case most crashes happen off the course so you can usually get out of the car safely once you've made sure there are no cars coming. Not true about circle tracks, which cars tend to stay on the track after an accident.

Looking at the racing incident itself I wouldn't be surprised if Stewart didn't even realize he had put the guy off.

...what tape? It's a digital file. It would take virtually no effort for someone to copy it.

I think it might eventually get leaked, since it's not like he's going to delete it (that would likely be a felony) and it's almost certainly going to be used in a courtroom as evidence at some point.

This is why you get the fuck off the track when you have an accident instead of running at the guy who hit you. Sad, but preventable.

I am confused. Who are you talking about? And are you actually fluent in more than one language?

Some people are definitely better at picking up languages than others, but yes, you will eventually pick up a language with immersion, content, and repetition.

I can see Arabic being an option at high schools eventually (next to French, Spanish, German, and occasionally Chinese/Japanese/Korean), but not Pashto... it's only useful in a relatively small, economically irrelevant part of the world.

The diff fluid has to be replaced constantly (roughly every two oil changes) if the car has a clutch plate diff. The same goes if you have a transaxle. Brake and coolant should be changed every other year... unless you track, in which case brake fluid should be bled every session (ideally).

12 quarts?!?! That seems...excessive. Yeah, I think you'll definitely be good for 7,500...

I think 10% of officers and enlisted (obviously officers aren't four times more proficient in language skills... the difference in average intelligence is maybe a few IQ points at most) *eventually* learning the language would be reasonable... but proficiency in such a short period of time is only going to come from…

Yes, and I suppose I should judge professional table tennis by the American league instead of the Chinese one... (Cliffnotes: Who the fuck cares about Formula Drift?)

19:16. That's a lot faster than 60.

...which is why so many pro-level drift cars have 700+ horsepower. D1 cars do 120 MPH+ corner entries.

In almost every situation a drift car or road race car would face, removing weight is going to be the best option. If you need to balance the car, moving the battery will usually suffice.

Of course, you'll need a new engine every time you drive over a rock or some sand.

Fapfapfapfapfapfap....uggghg...

A wing that sizes would make well over a hundred pounds of downforce at 60 mph, and several hundred pounds at 100. Adding weight to the car would be the stupidest thing you could to in order to make a car go faster.

Horseshit. Obviously this is coming from someone who has never competed seriously against another person in a car. When money is no object and there is nothing stopping you from doing it, people are going to do whatever gives them an advantage.

Holy shit, the wing is HUGE. They must be drifting at like 150 miles an hour to justify that.
