You obviously know nothing of racing then. Racing requires amazing physical conditioning. Even NASCAR requires you to spend hours in a hot car pushing the limit and constantly wrangling the car and resisting G-force's in the corners. Speaking of G-forces, F1 drivers withstand amazing levels, as high as 5-7 G's…

Lol, I love it, this kids a future Schumi! Look at him gettin' oppo when he's makin the left comin back around for the next one. He does it perfect every time!

The Z06 has damn near perfect 50/50 balance. What's really the difference between front mid-engine and rear mid-engine? They both accomplish the goal of putting the heaviest part of the car as close to the center as possible. The Corvette does damn well as a GT car, matching and even beating cars that cost much…

That's pretty messed up. I obviously don't know how people are sentenced in California, but looking at various CA DUI lawyers websites it looks like they have massive fines over there, and similar jail time for each offense as we have. But I imagine all of the overcrowding problems in California's prisons and jail…

I hate when I click on a extremely interesting sounding video and get assaulted by his obnoxious voice! It's not really his fault, you get what your momma gives you, but I can't handle it.

Well obviously that's why she's been shown so much leniency. You don't mess with the Mayor of Hamburgerville, especially if you don't like pickles.

There's no way an average person would get this sort of treatment. I live in Wisconsin, a state that is known to have extremely lenient DUI laws. It wasn't until this winter that our laws were changed to make a SECOND DUI a crime. That's right, DUI #2 in Wisconsin was basically a moving violation with a steep fine…

That and they all got wasted beforehand, probably smoked two packs a day, and the really serious runners shot rat poison.

Because Steel gets you fucking hammered. People who sink low enough to steal alcohol aren't the kind of people sipping craft brews with their pinky up, they are stinking drunks. Steel Reserve does the trick if you're in to passing out in dark alleys covered in feces and vomit.

Yay Simona!!! I really hope she gets another chance, she is a very cool young lady. She doesn't do the whole, "ohh I'm a woman race car driver, I'll dance in a bikini in my sponsor's ads and complain that I'm treated differently than the men", that's not Simona, she just wants to go fast. I just hope what has…

The Izod IndyCar Series still very much is the IRL even if Tony George got kicked to the curb because the sisters were scared he was going to waste their entire inheritance before they even got a chance to get it. I don't believe that they're making any money either, despite reports than they turned a profit in 2011,…

I remember going to see them at the Mile sometime in the mid-00's, towards the end of CART's life, and there were only like 12 cars on the track and it was still a far better show than the IRL bee farters.

What we refer today as a spec series is different from the definition above. A spec series is something like pre-2012 IRL, GP2, or any other series where all competitors run the exact same engine and chassis. I prefer the term "Formula Racing" for something like CART or F1 where there are regulations and…

Apparently a similar series is quite popular in Brazil. It's called Formula Truck and is just a bunch of race modified semis going at it on the track. It's pretty cool actually, they top out at around 100 mph, and it looks pretty entertaining from the videos I've seen on YouTube. You should check it out if you're…

For me, it's the real Indy Car. Not IndyCar, but Indy Car. The PPG World Indy Car Series, CART, ChampCar, whatever you want to call it. American open wheel racing before the idiot grandson felt he had to have it all. I was born in 1987, and I was raised when Indy Car was in its prime. My dad took me to see all…

I think the reason for this is in F1 the team has just as much impact on the race as the driver. The best driver in the world doesn't have a chance if he's stuck in a Marussia or HRT. Just look at Schumi, he maybe be losing he touch as he ages, sure, but you can't tell me someone who was at one time was so dominant…

Yay! They finally got the Firefox version out there!

I apologize, I read both examples as present tense. I'd imagine that wasn't too bad of a wage back then either as my mother recalls making far less working various jobs in the late 60's and 70's.

I don't know, in my mind the triumvirate of awesomeness that makes up auto racing is sound, speed, and skill. I hope that even by the point the ICE is obsolete and we hear nothing but a whirr and some wheel noise on our roads, that they will still find something to burn in an extremely loud and terrifying manner in…

Is it wrong that all of my issues of Road and Track are ejaculate stained?
