Any artificial slowing of the field is painful. But the Indy road course race had plenty of debris on course that should have warranted a flagging. One of their racers will attest to that.

Way to get discard history. Yellow flag finishes are part of it. This whole new NASCRAp inspired way of finishing is phony. Sorry, first racer a lap down should get a wave around right..?

There's some legislation out there to improve their safety by doubling the number of wheels and surround it all with a steel shell. Also, airbags and a/c.

"The Carrera GT was unsafe for its intended use by reason of defects in its manufacture, design, testing, component and constituents, so that it would not safely serve its purpose."

This guy is incredibly lucky. First off, to have enough air outside of his lung to push his heart over to one side and not cause enough compression of his heart and vessels to render him unconscious is rare. Second, to rotate his heart, aorta and pulmonary arteries/veins 90 degrees and not have a massive bleed because…

As the saying goes: There are two types of warships - submarines and targets.

This is so true. The Echos are pretty bad. I saw one blow a seal around the rotor and it just bled hydro all over the side, so much fluid it looked like it got slimed.

This reminds me of a story my cousin told me about his time in the Marine Corps. Any time he was being transported by chopper he'd always check to see if the chopper was leaking any fluids. If it wasn't, he wouldn't get on. Obviously I asked him why not.

I would think that they would need the ability to take their machines to the limit and be comfortable with using them near the limit. It's not like you can train a race car driver but putting them on the interstate and telling them to mind the traffic laws.

Not sure I agree Tyler. Don't wanna get too far into since I've already posted in depth about this, scroll up, BUT, in short I think one versus one any AEGIS/SPY ship can counter the Kirov. Even without the LRASM, the VLS tubes are capable of lofting 40+ (if surface combat is expected then the naval version of the…

It's "blast from the past" time!

Interestingly, the rumor is that even Russians now acknowledge that they have lost the ability to build such large surface ships. During the 90s, the Russian navy placed almost no orders for any kind of equipment because the government was broke, and so the shipyards deteriorated and lost a lot of expertise. Also,…

Hi there

"This large complement makes good sense when you examine just how much firepower the Kirovs can project. "

Because the left is against actually educating students, especially inner city minorities.

The flip took a bit of time just because of the series of snowstorms we had a few months back. It took about a month from beginning to end, but most of that was waiting for the parts car to show up. Usually they're around 2-3 weeks. I found the parts car 20 minutes away, and the total time spent replacing parts and…

Thanks!

nice work. It was like reading a wheeler dealers episode.

S-3s! We love the Viking here at Foxtrot Alpha!
