Which I don’t see why not. After all, it’s not like any F1 teams are throwing money at his feet or giving him a good seat. It’s not even silly season and he’s thinking that someone is going to put him on the short list already? He’s 37; most F1 teams will look at someone a lot younger or still in the right age range.…

Well, let’s hope they decide to make a proper return with Alonso. It sure seems like a bit of disorganization caught up with them. I’m not sure that not using Alonso for a full-time effort doesn’t make sense for either him or McLaren. Is he really going to be that busy? Or does just the Indy 500 and completing a…

Man, wth is going on with Kinja again. Can’t edit, can’t properly retrieve posted comment, can’t get it run consistently in Firefox....sigh. Bug fixes that just break stuff over and over.....

Oh how the Raiders have fallen. That they’d sign a reprobate who pretty much over his peak years isn’t that unusual for them. That they’d ignore his past isn’t that unusual for the Raiders who have a long and storied tradition of hiring trash. The Raiders have always been known as the dirty team so hiring a dirtball…

Clearly, he’s going to open a pizza shop with a basement. Probably call it something like Family Pizza or Gateway Pizza......all the conservatives will love it since they like to be in business trafficking all sorts of stuff...

Oh well, the USN will just have to find a right-wing donkey-ass to name some crappy LCS, USS Bonespurs. All fixed.

It’s a wash for old farts like me. While mechanical keys have a certain simplicity to them, they do wear out and replacing key cylinders is a pain. OTOH, fobs have a certain simplicity as well and you don’t have to replace key cylinders but you do have to replace buttons. Plus, trying to remember how many seconds you…

Sad. Mark Zuckerberg, what is wrong with you? Are you besotted with the “success” of your product, you can’t see how actually terrible it has become? And what’s with Sandberg? Is this more of her brilliant planning? And what is with this idiot Bickbergirtite? Does she even understand how psychology and advertising…

I was ok with the broadcast when I had the cable running. But when I moved over to another location, I could only livestream. Which was fine, until at the 20 lap point, when the livestream dumped and I had to login my cable provider, etc. etc. after I had already been watching form something like 100+ laps already.…

Put it mainly as a classic racing crash rather than assigning fault. Could go either way really given the circumstances....

Good race, some nice moves overall. That dustup between Rahal and Bourdais could have gone either way. Personally, I don’t think Bourdais needed to give way to Rahal; Rahal had the responsibility to make a better pass attempt. By the time his front dropped back of Bourdais rear, that was it. His overtake was over and…

Update Assistant is the way to go. Defer updates for a couple of weeks to make sure the beast is tractable and then manually run Update Assistant. I have gen a offline update from USB because of the number of machines I have to fiddle with but otherwise, the Assistant makes it easy if the auto-update function has…

Pitaros’ projecting the classic Disney take. It’s too bad for ESPN that Disney owns them. Now they have to toe the bottom-line on profits and the bottom-line on legal; where’s the fun in that? It used to be that ESPN had all sorts of interesting stuff on. Now, it’s baseball, football, basketball like 24/7. People who…

Based on what others have reported on the difficulties the team had in just successfully completing a car for competition, lacking a proper steering wheel, forgetting to order shift paddles, unable to complete metric-to-inches conversions, choosing correct colors as a 1st priority vs. completing a runnable car for…

no. cp.

Straight-6, 240z with updated gen1 240z styling. And ultra-simple easy to mod chassis and engine stuff. Make it reasonably inexpensive (BRZ level?).

Definitely the case. OTOH, I occasionally get the feeling that even the professional MotorSport community underestimates how competitive the Indy500 is. The fact that it somewhat appears to be a spec race setup gives too many the impression that anyone can go 240 and be successful. It’s a different tale when the…

Yes, it’s really a team issue rather than a driver issue. In this situation, too many people focus on the driver when the team has a greater role when time is short and knowledge is limited. McLaren was coming in with a new aero package and very little experience at Indy, much less ovals. Fernandos’ previous…

Yeah, really the only way Alonso is going to be able to pull this off well is to run a few ovals again and actually get some racetime tracktime under his belt. Especially with this years aero package; looks quite squirrelly.....

It ain’t as easy as it looks from across the pond after all. When McLaren decided to do this, it sure felt last minutey even if it’s been percolating since last Indy. It almost felt like when Ligier thought they could pull a fast one with that horrible JS21. What was Curb thinking then? Some bad luck in practice for…
