I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't an "unapproved alcohol-infused lunch" by said test driver.  GM test drivers in the AZ area, you know you do, from time to time.  Don't kid anyone.

Is it just me?  I moved out of the house at 18, college for 4 years and never looked back.  Granted, this was the mid-1990s, but seriously.  Is it THAT bad out there today for young kids?

"Heyyyyyyyy, Thomas Urbach!"

My biggest moment of today's race were the flashbacks on SPEED of when F1 came to SpeedVision. I was in college at the time, after getting hooked on F1 on ESPN with Bob Varsha and David Hobbs in the commentary box and a young James Allen as the pitlane reporter.
