Add another fifty pounds to the minimum weight, today. That would allow normal-sized humans with healthy bodies to be competitive. Teams with smaller drivers could add ballast, and this could be done immediately. It's a safety issue, and could be instituted by the FIA without the teams having to approve unanimously.

The other teams using Mercedes engines would have the same design, perhaps without the latest updates.

Back in the 60's when I-10 was being built through New Orleans it was built over Claiborne Avenue, bisecting some of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. The Treme (the neighborhood the HBO show was named after), the 7th Ward, St. Roch and Gentilly Terrace were divided by an elevated highway that created noise,…

Will Buxton's latest blog is the most rational explanation of what probably happened. First, it's doubtful that the hotel management waited until this morning to tell the families that they'd be moved to another hotel.

The article was about Ford, not Porsche or Nader or Lutz. Maybe you didn't notice that while you were getting your mad on.

This. Right here. Sprint Cars. On Ice. IT. MUST. HAPPEN.

Shirley Muldowey. First woman to receive an NHRA Top Fuel license; Big Daddy Don Garlits signed her off. Garlits would later say she was the driver she always wanted to beat. Three time NHRA Top Fuel champion, named #5 driver in the NHRA's Top 50 Drivers list. Survived cars on fire and a crash that had her out of the…

Doesn't matter. If he unscrewed it, it's theft. If he found it in the car, why should he assume that it was a gift or prize and not something that belonged in the car? Unless someone from Ford gave it to him as a gift, he stole it.

That CD article had me lusting for that green 911S Carrera forever. Still do.

Thanks, now I can go back to ignoring F1 again.

Sure it's insane, but you could do it. Run the first lap on the modern circuit, then just past the pit exit you bear right onto the Curva Nord Alta Velocita. Blast down the Rettifilo Levante, through the Curva Sud Alta Velocitia. Now the first tricky part: the exit for Curva Sud is to the left of the barrier outside…

For those of you saying "It's not an oval," it is. Sort of. Ignore the twisty bit on the bottom, and the twisty bits in the middle, and you'll see there's an oval. More like a trapezoid, but if Indy is an oval...

Anyone else think this was a huge PR stunt and 60 Minutes are suckers?

Pad and Quill cases have a much better system to keep your iPad in place; I've demoed it by turning it over and shaking the case. iPad never moves. I've had mine two years, dropped it a few times more than I wish. Beyond normal wear on the cover, it's still great.

There are intelligent conservatives, it's just that the stupid ones like Perry, Jindal, Palin, Bachman, etc. are more popular with the Tea Party.

Wow, someone is off their meds today...

No, they cut the seal on Massa's transmission, which gave him a five-spot penalty. That moved Alonso to the other side of the grid, where he wanted to be.

Most likely candidate? Ryan Briscoe. Alex Tagliani and James Jakes as outside choices. Dark horse? Simona de Silvestro.

I'm thinking Dario would make a great Indycar color commentator next season. Don't think he'd pull many punches...

Ken should have stopped with Gymkhana 5.
