And the biggest injury was sore nuts from the six-points doin’ their job, per Judge Phil, heh. Pretty remarkable, but all that required safety gear works.

Was the googly eye there before the wreck? If so +1

This is a kitchen fire waiting to happen.

Dr. Elders is still my heroine.

The apparently confused fan on track was actually Pastor Maldonado’s brother. Javier Maldonado was looking for his brother, who was participating in the race. Afterwards, the confused Javier said told an interviewer: “Pastor told me before the race that if there was nobody nearby for him to ram, I…

Spec F100 racing class. Running start, mandatory 2 pit stops where the driver has to load a bale of hay into the bed. Must finish with both bales intact.

I totally understand. Our Spec 86 car still has the stock key to start it. Lucky it’s not one of the limited trim cars. It would be quite embarrassing if say the crewchief had the fob in his pocket and the driver goes off for his session and it dies heading to pit lane. Not that this happened to one of our street…

I’d be fucking terrified if this guy was the one holding the checklist.

Fun fact: the reason Porsche puts their key hole on the left side of the steering wheel goes back to the days when Le Mans and other endurance races featured a running start. That is, the drivers lined up on one side of the track and their cars sat on the other side of the track. At the start, the drivers ran across…

I can see it now: race starts, LeMans-style. Driver sprints to the car. He flings the door open, gets in the seat, goes to crank the car...nothing. He tries again...nothing. He tries a third time, looks at the dash, smacks his hand against his forehead and has to sprint back to the pits to get the key he left in the…

huh. Here on the east coast, M3’s are largely bought bought by over privileged brats.

THIS. EXACTLY THIS.

I’m totally gonna Slash someone’s tires like that. Lol.

Typically when a faster car/driver combo is behind you, you should point them by so there isn’t a traffic jam. It’s particularly frustrating when you get stuck behind someone because they think they’re faster than you buuuuuuuut they aren’t :(

I apex the turns on all the offramps to and from work every day. What’s the problem?

Did it look like this?

I think if done for comedic effect, that falls under the “prank” category, but if done maliciously, then listen all y’all it’s sabotage.

Nah Trenton isn’t that bad and has some amazingly beautiful victorian houses surrounding the capital.

I believe that Colin Chapman would approve of this. Less is more. Keep it simple. Reducing the number of parts and fasteners and simplifying construction while reducing costs is a win-win situation.

Neat/sobering article. The Perry Class frigates have been the red-headed stepchildren of the U.S. Navy, starved for upgrades and improvements, similar to how the A-10 Warthogs are continually being offered up for sacrifice by the U.S. Air Force.
