In this case I don’t think the headline is too bad. If it just said, “Driving Instructor Sues Las Vegas Racetrack” and I just scrolled past because lawsuits don’t really interest me I might assume it took place at LVMS because that’s the major well known track in the area. As far as I know there’s no professional…

Should be an exciting season, looks like the Ferrari is hot on the heels of the Mercedes. We’ll have to let a couple more races go by to see how they perform on different circuits, but as they mentioned during the quali broadcast, I’m sure Vettel will follow the Schumacher mantra of, “if I’m within a half second, I’m…

And yes, I’ve seen that movie scene that is sometimes posted on here when people say things like what I have posted above, the one where the white girl asked Malcolm X what she can do as an ally of people of color and he answers, “Nothing.”. So my question is this: What does anyone expect to happen if white people do…

As a white person I am very hesitant these days to participate in any discourse, discussions, advocacy, or whatever else involving any sort of racial issue. I simply do not understand what I can do to support any of these causes. I walk through my city and I see people segregated by their skin colors and I see that…

It’s just a kind of easy “career” for people who might otherwise be unemployable for various reasons. Scrapper/junk man types. They gather up the most decent used tires they can find and resell them in their neighborhood or on Craigslist or whatever. They probably do pretty decent business too in the shittier…

Well I for one most definitely am crying. Good on Chevron for being decent, a rarity for large corporations these days. Think I’m going to have to make sure to purchase some Havoline for the Vette this year.

I guess it’s good that this kind of movie is featuring someone who might be something other than straight, but does anybody else think this sounds like a sort of cop out to pay lip service to the LGBTQ community without actually taking any sort of real risks? It just feels to me like it’s something added in so they…

I’ve heard that this will be announced by Fergie Ferg yo.

When I saw the phrase “cutting a line” I got super excited! Way to disappoint Raph, way to disappoint!

I understand, but isn’t there a difference between “The Flag” itself and it’s individual colors and symbols? I’d consider it disrespectful to see someone with a shirt sewn out of individual flags or even a pair of swim trunks with the stars in the upper left corner and the rest cropped in to individual pant legs, but…

For a million mile odometer it would take 417 days to roll it over if you could find a way to spin the wheels constantly at 100 mph.

Truncating the left side of the number on a digital display like you say sounds like the smartest way to do it. An unsigned 32 bit integer is more miles than could ever be materially…

No way, I think you need to visit your Chronic album again, the only lyrics in Dre Day that weren’t about Easy were the ones about Tim Dog, 2 Live, and Ice Cube. Dre won that beef because Eazy doesn’t really have much to say without Ice Cube writing it. Eazy’s a legend, don’t get me wrong, but I think a lot of his…

Are all things as we think they are or do you perceive what you think? Maybe in another dimension perhaps the alternator generates electricity for moar power and a turbo spins to charge the batteries? Maybe the answer is just a few layers beneath to surface.

Do you think so? I’d think the Porsche would be more likely to whip around on you quickly because the heavier rear would have more momentum. I always thought that was the advantage of RR/RMR car, they rotate better through the apex, but you better have some serious talent if you lose control of that mass. In the…

I think for a lot of people these days the crew cab versions are basically a luxury minivan with a bit more style. Many Americans are on the bigger side, so it’s easier for them to get in and out. My brother’s a big guy and drives a beater Aveo for commuting to work and even he’ll admit it’s a silly look but he…

In an IndyCar setup for ovals they often have 4th, 5th, and 6th set up very close to each other so they can keep the car revving the in the optimal range depending on the situation on the track. Perhaps 4th to account for a lift on the throttle through the corner running the inside line, 5th gear if you are hooked up…

Highly doubt it, things are constantly changing and if your car isn’t perfect things can start to get really hairy later in your run. If you’re following another car in it’s slipstream you’re getting very little air over your front wing causing tons of oversteer, so you lift a bit to rotate the car, maybe you get…

It’d not like the border isn’t being patrolled right now. Why risk running drugs across the border in plain sight of border agents and surveillance equipment when you can dig a tunnel across the border the lets out in a more convenient location? I’m to lazy to cut and paste links right now, but just search Google…

Road America is awesome for spectator photographs, a lot of really cool angles like the inside of Canada Corner or the top of the hill right by the start/finish like on the outside of the track. There’s a lot of places where you can shoot through the holes in the fence and spend a little time afterwards and everyone…

Here’s an interesting rundown of some of the techniques photographers use in auto racing to get effects like that.
