Funny enough this year’s theme was Cone Wars

It’s really not bad. This year’s nationals courses were pretty easy to follow. I think it always looks far more confusing than it walks/drives.

I don’t think I it’s the best we can do. We can figure out a way to remove bias from hiring/school acceptance processes. Make gender/skin color a hidden attribute in early stages

Kinda....there’s still a strong element of driver talent.

Right, and that’s where I agree it becomes messy. Do we want equality or affirmative action? How do we encourage participation with fairness so that some day there’s no asterisk next to a less privileged person’s success?

There’s feeder systems (other racing), but it all has a very high barrier to entry.

I don’t totally follow your logic here.

Well said. I think the way you presented it in the article was perfect, you gave people options that included this individuals GoFundMe should someone feel motivated to donate to him specifically.

One of Crochet’s friends started a GoFundMe to cover home repair costs here, if you’d like to help him out personally. Alternately, there are still many organizations at work in the area helping with everything from shelter to food to rebuilding efforts for residents affected by Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath.

Monday? I’m driving to Lincoln for Solo Nationals. Should be fun!

It is at some, but the problem is when it doesn’t make money it goes away.

Damn, someone’s had a rough past. It’s okay, you’re safe now. Show me where the Ford touched you

EH, I’d argue it’s often helpful to have a different perspective regardless so long as it is given respectfully

Yep. Without ego it’s fine and even helpful, but when delivered with an attitude the comments are irritating even if they were meant to be positive in some way.

While it’s easy (and likely accurate) to say this is because she’s a woman and they are a man, I can also see the scenario where the “old guy” is trying to tell the young racer how it should be done.

Having driven both, the Miata is by far the better buy.

I’ll give you RWD, but anything is cheap or a beater when you have enough money

I try to teach as many people as I can.

Autocross, my last chance to practice before nationals. Of course this weekend probably won’t be as fun as last weekend when I had the chance to take this GT350R on a run. My GT is pictured next to it

YES THESE ARE BOTH CARS
