It's possible that track worker is watching the track farther on, to tell the flagger of any cautions up there. The one and only time I flagged at a track, I was standing with my back to traffic, ready to pull the yellow for the cars coming into the corner. The important action was happening after my location, and…

Apropos of nothing...

In the rest of Oregon, it's been up to the specific judge (assuming you show up for your court date) to dismiss the ticket. I've had judges dismiss silly things like a missing front plate. If you bother to show up, they usually toss it.

The reason for the charges being put at his feet is the logic that says nothing that follows would have happened had he not instigated the incident. It's likely that, had he not brake checked the RR, and subsequently been knocked to the ground, it's possible the issue would have ended with some rude hand gestures and…

Came to post the same thing. Palomino and Cygnus, both MIA from this chart (well, technically the Cygnus has been MIA for years, but don't tell Dr. Reinhardt).

Dave still owns his; he had it on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.

Very popular in regional rallies back in the '80s. Toyota made some cool stuff in the '80s.

Am I the only one who read that as "Almighty Kazakhstan?"

police have detained the male driver and are weighing charges

Do it. I have a '46 Dodge 1/2 ton (nearly identical to the pre-war model), and it's a great truck. Flathead straight 6. Can be hand-cranked if you want. Even though it tops out at about 60mph, it's such fun to drive. Very easy to fix things.

Well, that depends on what you're willing to put up with. This guy used his Model A as his daily transport for an entire year.

Oh, I'm not saying he didn't deserve it. I mean, dude should wait for all the signals/barriers to go off/out of the way.

Possibly there to aid in quick driver changes. When you undo the belts, the cords pull the belts out of the seat, so the next driver jumping in (like during an endurance race) doesn't sit on the belts and waste time fumbling for them.

Everyone who enjoyed this needs to go watch the GT Racer series. Start with "Shaken & Stirred" and move on to the series.

It seems pretty obvious. The train passed, the lights went out and the crossing barrier went up. The guys were standing on the platform, which forced it down and out of the drivers line of sight. Driver pulls forward to go through the crossing, and for some reason the platform comes up, but the driver is already…

a jurisdiction that's itching for revenue

C'mon, that's way more than one furry animal's amount of water.

This, of course, is all old news. Witness this report written in 2001...

You know he's not driving a modern day Ford GT, right? He's driving 60's era machinery, in the rain, and driving far faster than all the other GT40s on track. There's one car that sort of keeps with him accelerating out of the corner, and it is doing the same dance (watch the front wheels closely), then the driver…

Yep. And most (all?) rally organizations require them. It used to be just on the driven and rear wheels (meaning RWD cars just needed rear, everyone else needed all), but I don't know what it is these days.
