Yeah, I think they were getting that chemistry, but the scripting (especially when you’re waiting to see how they’re going to rig it so Tanner drives the supercar of the week at the end, cuz he’s going to anyway) really didn’t help them at all.

“the same demon tires”

Thanks to David and Brandon for making this weekend the greatest automotive experience of my life thus far. The Briarwood will always be the anchor of my future fleet of shit boxes and I owe it all to you guys.

Ra men

Because a lot of guys buying them do so not because they are car guys but because to them a Corvette in the garage means they made it. They buy it because they finally can. Then they realize that they’re low and small and stiff and all of the things sports cars are and don’t drive them.

Because Vette’s are a suburbanite status symbol. Something to fill the hole in their 3 car garage and leave the door open on the weekends so all the neighbors driving by can see it.

Chester is 72 years old. He’s been dreaming of owning a Corvette for the vast majority of those years. He worked hard and played it safe. He’s got enough money to bring home a Vette and the wife says it is ok. Now he knows the one’s from the 60's were way faster, buta new Vette is part of the dream. He orders his…

Only arca car in that mess of wrecks is Will Kimmels wreck from Madison couple years back

Except after 20 years most states consider a car a classic and it doesn’t have to meet any regs. An imported car that’s less than 20 years old would more likely be used as a daily, while one old enough to technically be a classic would more likely be a second/project car.

I don’t think it’s a problem. Racers gotta race. Glad they limited the started for them though.

Live by the block, die by the block. Sucks to suck Kyle Busch.

Usually a switch on the side of the stick. The late ‘80s Eaton I drove it was on the front of the stick so it was easy to change with my fingers while shifting from the fifth position back to first. Just slide it to neutral, flip the switch and slide over and up.

My experience at Texas Motor Speedway is that they do wand everybody and they look inside of every bag/purse/cooler that comes inside. I assume people slip by security every so often. My anecdotal evidence isn’t proof of anything but that’s all I’ve got.

I worked at TMS and was lucky enough to be involved in working with the safety crews incase such an awful scenario happens... at the time they were thinking more plane strikes and dirty bombs, but they rehearsed stopping action on track and evacuating people from the stands, getting people to secure loctaions, even…

I can see it difficult for smaller, regional carriers to compete in big airports with bigger airlines, specially if fees become a “Free Market” system. A bigger group of airlines can just increase ATC fees until they bleed the small carriers out of the airport and “take over” their gates/terminals.

“Whether airlines care about their customers is up in the air”

So would big players unfairly get routing priority at the expense of the little guys? I see parallels to the killing off of net neutrality.

This is pretty much what I imagine:

Yes it is, your odds of getting screwed by plain bad luck are much higher at Indy than in any other races. As a matter of fact, how many time the pole sitter won Indy and how often some Joe Schmucks were handed surprise victories ?

I want to see eDrag Racing. Where when the car explodes, it emits a Jacob’s Ladder that zaps spectators.
