Ugly? Nah — those are fuel trucks pre-positioned to keep the thirsty R8 happy.

Until the next feature there.

An instructor has NO business doing that. If I'm driving with a student, I don't get anywhere near the car's limits — I go perhaps 70% of the way there, but the student doesn't know that — it feels to them like I'm driving 110% and that's just fine.

I've only had to give The Talk in earnest once. I had a student in a C6 Z06 that had been supercharged, and stroked. According to the owner the car had over 750HP, and after riding in it, I believed him. The acceleration was brutal. Only the guy was on street tires, with factory brakes, unknown brake pads…

Guys, I'm seegin a LOT of things to hit and not a lot of barriers — armco or otherwise. I'm not too sure I'd be OK with instructing on this track.

Physics is a heartless bitch with an excellent sense of humor.

Before everyone gets into a kerfuffle over those wheel-stands, remember thsi is a TV SHOW. Nothing you see is real (probably). I'll bet you a beer Wood wasn't at the wheel during those passes.

Oh, and am I the only one disappointed that the red Camaro wasn't Big Red?

OK I'll ask it. When can we expect a lighter Mustang?

(I'll let myself out...)

But now that huge bombshell of a statement of fact looks like it could've just been based on a big stinking guess, instead. A user on the Mustang6G forums going by the handle of "Seth@Steeda" said that they hadn't actually, ya know, based that weight figure on anything real, but more just about what they think maybe,…

Well yeah. Wouldn't you if you got a chance to bust Justin Bieber?

I think it's cute, all you guys who want to call the cops. Like it's the 1950's.

Anyone who crashes the pace car is a twat. The only acceptable excuse is a sinkhole. If the Earth opens up and swallows you, that's a Mulligan.

Let Russia host 'em ALL then.

Also, that old BMW already set off, dude. He's about halfway through the drag strip by the time you thought about going. This is just a losing situation all around. Have you ever tried driving something with four wheels? I hear those don't flip over as easily. I'm just here to help. Really.

Any race car — any make, type, class, or other designation. Because no matter what's wrong, you HAVE to get it fixed perfectly before the next session,

Want to put in a new clutch? You have 20 minutes...

I'm not sure if this was embarrassing or cool...

My daily commute takes me down an off ramp to a stop light, then a right turn to a road that usually has a lot of semi's parked along side of it in front of a convenience store — an impromptu truck stop of sorts.

One day, it had just started to drizzle a little bit and I…

Or Carl's Corner.

Regulators are now checking with automakers to see what the deal is with their airbags.

It certainly is!

(Wait, we're talking about his ego, right?)
