Another great lesson on how things will last if you take care of them, AKA, why you can’t find pristine K-car anymore (nobody ever cared to take care of them). If an early ‘70s truck, made of thin steel, with zero rustproofing, built to what would be laughable quality tolerances today, can last that long with proper…

Or you can just tie the camera man to the race car.

There are a plethora of beautiful road courses across the country that NASCAR could run - I’d rather see the Cup series run Mid-Ohio or VIR or Road Atlanta or Laguna Seca, COTA, etc. than another date at Sonoma or the Glen.

Brian’s big concern is the revamped Daytona Speedway that has been under construction for awhile, but I believe should be done for the Rolex 24, or the 500 in February at the latest. I believe that is going to turn out to be a clusterfuck of wasted money along the lines of what Tony George did to IMS...costing them…

Ever see a picture of LA smog from the 80s? Those regulators literally save millions of lives every year. Just so long as they aren’t trying to mandate self-driving cars, I’m going to hold off on armed resistance to the EPA

I don’t have the numbers at the ready here but I recall something to the tune of a single day on a 2 stroke snowmobile is a years worth of driving a modern car. I bring this up because it jibes with the point of perspective, something I’ve been driving home for a while now: cars are no longer part of the big picture…

Anything that makes an F1 race more interesting to watch is an improvement....however that’s a pretty low bar these days.

so...Hamilton will win. I think that is what you are saying.

What the driver did was, in terms of potential outcomes, was no different than pulling out a handgun and firing. Anything the biker did was completely separate from the auto driver, and would be dealt with separately in legal proceedings.

So again, a bike passing on a double yellow with a safe margin harms who?

The short answer is the rider shouldn’t have been passing on double yellow, but the driver is in the wrong. If the driver has a problem with it, they should write down the bike’s license plate and report them.

Who cares if the motorcyclist was wrong. That doesn’t give the driver of the car permission to try to use lethal force to stop him.

I can't wait 10 years to see carbon fiber steering wheels and wheel... wheels on beat to shit 2010 Honda Civics!
