They only need a full crew if all the heaters are not onboard and are not wired to a single plug. Not sure if the cars have them but a lot of the Trucks will have a single plug right behind the B-pillar that you plug an extension cord into and the other end into a power source, it’s a very simple and easy way to get

This. Jumping as high as the catch fence is cool, but not safe at all.

Mutli-body dynamics simulations, most all auto manufacturers use them these days.

Shifter is on the right-hand-side.

Earning thousands how? Selling non-stock vehicles to people is a liability that no government will undertake. Set an example that if you’re going to do dumb things, win dumb prizes and lose your car permanently.

There’s only one thing to do with seized vehicles from illegal events like this:

Didn’t someone go over VTEC last year?

Neither was the Aurora British F1 Championship.

Shoulda broke out the Soylent Green Riot Control vehicles.

Bringing up the McLaren third pedal again: How did no one in scrutineering see that? Yes it’s not in direct line-of-sight, but part of rule enforcing is checking every thing in the rulebook no matter how large or small, or how easy or hard to access.

Loader shouldn’t have had the bucket on it, should have then hooked the strap around the attachment mount on the arm.

Smokey and the Bandit was great, however Hooper remains my favorite Reynolds and Needham collaboration.

A few years ago I met Jan Ludvig, former New Jersey Devil and several-time Erzberg Rodeo entrant, in the lobby of a hotel while watching Supercross. We talked for a bit and he showed me this video on his phone, where he covers “Purple Haze” with different lyrics about Erzberg (also in a beer tent after a few rounds).

I call this Caparro T1 Syndrome, as Jeremy Clarkson explains. (3:58 if it Kinja’s):

I quite enjoyed the race at Gateway two days ago, the stands were decently full so it seems others did as well.

Completely different animal, repaving an oval requires pulling down all the catch fence and using several more pieces of equipment as anchors to keep pavers up on the banks, all driving up costs substantially in ways not needed on relatively flat road courses.

Is it really that complicated though? Goodyear brings different compounds to different Nascar races and no one bats an eye, what does it matter as long as the tires available for each team are the same.

I think I’ve seen this before, except a little more track-oriented and less vaporware:

You say that, yet I’m sitting here debating if I want to build my future Autocross car with the CBR600RR in my garage or pick up a Genesis 80FI and run a CVT, because the CVT if tuned properly is faster and allows the driver to focus purely on driving, not shifting.
