Myth: 4 out of every 5 crazy person w/ car stories comes out of Florida (80%).
For some reason it makes me think of a pokemon. Maybe Jag is taking a stab at answering today's Morning Would... "Gotta Catch 'em All!"
Petit rewards those with both a fast, steady pace and the stamina for thrusting around many laps at an intense pace. But they'd better not cock about because it's no fun to do all that work and only get to watch others finish above you while you don't get to finish at all.
Totally missed an opportunity to sculpt them as winglets on the side for comic effect. MOAR DOWNFORCE!
I bet there are some great marketing slogans for this...
Clearly with $$.
I think they mean from plane to plane, not door to airport.
Never would have thought of that... unless I happened to have to move around an older British car in a tight garage regularly...

I really enjoy driving, regardless of how much work I have to put in, how stiff the ride is, etc. I'd drive a freakin' tank to work if I could just because it'd be fun to drive a tank through Atlanta traffic and watch everyone freak out and dive out of the way.

I sometimes wonder if the top "entertainment" execs go out on the golf course each Monday morning and ask each other "is there anything stupider we can get these idiots to watch?" It seems the answer is always "Yes, check out this idea. They'll all be completely brain dead this time for sure after watching this!" …
Historically a good number of NASCAR teams had brought in road racers to pilot their cars on the road courses. They were one off drives since the series didn't go to many twisty courses (like, one... The Glen usually). That's been changing over the last few years though, and drivers have had to get better in…
I originally missed the part about Road Atlanta being sold as part of the deal.
