Tires.

A far easier approach is to NOT COUNT unbelted fatalities as auto fatalities. Instead create a new “idiot” category for them. Lumping them in with belted occupants unfairly penalizes the auto industry and leads to idiotic things like automatic seat belts.

Yes. They’re also very good at supporting the instructor. If I have a student I’m concerned about, I know the folks in the paddock, will back me 100%.

I agree with this 100%. I instruct with several organizations, all of which use a full complement of corner workers, EMT’s on site, and a healthy respect for safety.

And, importantly, the student is almost always driving their own car. Knowing they have to drive home at the end of the day installs a healthy amount of…

Michael Mosty in NASA’s Camaro/Mustang Challenge:

How about “Buy an Alfa Quadrifoglio, get a free Chrysler 200!”

(You know, for the maid, or the au pair, or the gardner to drive.)

Passenger!?!

Nice.

For a Roval to work, you pretty much have to get outside the oval.

For it to work for club racing and HPDE events, you have to eliminate as much of the oval as possible (too much concrete to slam into at high speed.)

The Heart of Texas Mustang Club out of Waco, TX used to rent TWS once a year for a high-speed oval…

Tell that to the guys who *designed* your lovely F35. I’ve actually worked with them (Lockeed-Martin,) and I’m pretty sure they all had advanced college degrees.

Not what I was talking about. Try again...

Formula 1 seems to have figured this out. Maybe someone should ask them.

New rule: One chassis type. You have to figure out how to make it work for both.

Check out Texas World Speedway. THAT’s how you do a Roval!

As a solo corner worker, I was trained NEVER turn my back on oncoming traffic, or to position myself so that I couldn’t at least see oncoming traffic in my peripheral vision.

Luckily, working a station solo was very rare. When two workers were present, we stood so we faced each other and could look out for the other…

If you have to explain it, it’s not funny.

Nope — Both sites are using the same potato.

Please tell me charges were filed.

Drop Skinner, ASAP. He doesn’t fir with the rest of the show, which is decidedly European. Yes, we get it. He’s an American, which means he’s fat, uncultured, and think’s everything that isn’t American is “communist.”

So is he supposed to be someone we can trust to set the best possible lap speed in a car? Or is…

HHR is nice, but BUMPY! I instructed there once in a C4 ‘Vette and I ended the day with blurry vision, I was bounced around so much.
