I’d love to hear what Vettel thinks about THIS finish, then.

Used to comment here all the time but kind of stopped for a long time after my dad died. That’s another story for another day. I came back here to say that this is objectively wrong, and it’s next to impossible for opinions to be wrong.

Wagon w a roof box. No question.

I’m pretty fond of color schemes from the 30s.

“In many cases” - name some. name one.

Well, in this instance the losing (?) state’s residents have benefited greatly from their pawnage. Vance and Tuscaloosa were hemorrhaging jobs in the manufacturing sector and the surrounding areas that weren’t supported solely by farming and small industry were headed straight for collapse. Mercedes and Honda (among…

“and even deployed some in racing”

The flu shot just needs a new PR campaign. Instead of talking about how the shot should make you “immune to the flu”, we should be talking about how effective the shot is at mitigating the severity of the flu. A flu can put an otherwise-healthy 20-something year old in the hospital or even kill them. No shit. I asked…

Symphony of steel rattled in perfect time

This will severely impact the Braves’ ability going forward to trade one talented star rookie for six outfielders, a left legged pitcher, and a sous chef. Very sad day.

The example has nothing to do with the waiver, it was of NASCAR’s extremely questionable caution at Homestead that year. I’ve got no issue with the waiver. Alanis’ article was about NASCAR’s commitment to a consistent application of the rules even in the event, say, that the crash clock jeapordizes a Chaser’s finish.…

I want to believe that NASCAR would issue the leader a speeding penalty within the last 10 laps, but I can’t imagine that happening from the same NASCAR that threw a caution at Homestead in 2015 with 11 laps to go for a water bottle off the track (dropped by an Official) essentially just to give Kyle Busch a chance to…

And here too, though I haven’t read the whole thing: https://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/pdf/esv/esv16/98s5o01.pdf

Actually, the reason why the US and Europe have largely different standards comes down to airbags and seat belts. In Europe, the presumption is that seat belts are worn and work in concert with airbags for safety. In the US, the presumption is that seat belts will not be worn and the airbag is the primary safety…

Here’s an idea - make an American car on par with a German car. What a concept!

Yeah, in a sense I suppose so but then you get into divvying points based on race length etc. I think that’s kind of a draw of Championship Series racing is that you have multiple tracks playing to multiple strengths and weaknesses and yet they’re all worth essentially the same thing. A win (even a stage win) is a…

Are they also allowed an extra set of tires? While the race is the same excruciating distance, NASCAR have essentially just mandated that they race for Cup points for one additional stint. Like you said, it’s now the most valuable race on the calendar.

I believe the truck arm spacer or shim that is NOT completely static (aka, always mated to the surface, aaka it allows the truck arm to move around a bit) would mean that the rear axel would be able to move. That could mean up and down, affecting aerodynamics, or even better allow it to move side to side creating a…
