Other things to follow

I follow Formula 1 racing during the summer. There is a race every two weeks and it's pretty interesting. The races are usually on ESPN or ESPN2 on Sunday mornings (depending on where they are in the world). North American races are usually on ABC.

This weekend is the 24 hours of Le Mans on Motor trend tv. Very advanced cars with some of the tech transferred to street cars. Several years ago they showed a pit stop where they needed to change the break shoes. They did it in 35 seconds. After they did it, the car was out on the track doing over 200 mph. That's trusting your mechanic. I like the different classification of cars in the same race.

Indy Car is on NBC most of the time. It's pretty interesting when they have a road course or street course race. When they do ovals it usually degenerates to a NASCAR race. The cars look kind of stupid though.

NASCAR is NASCAR. Not much into that.

You could have asked me to explain as opposed to just deleting my most pertinent post . . . they do seem to show up about anywhere these days . . . ask the Dodger’s Kershaw . . .

NASCAR started cratering when 3 died. Then the cars became basically all the same except for the body wrap. Throw in this “stage racing” and a move towards EVs, the death of NASCAR is inevitable. I know of zero gearheads that embrace EVs.

I can watch LeMans, different classes on the road, there’s usually something for everyone. Of course, I’m a roadster guy.

I do not desire an explanation on drag queen races.

If it required an explanation, you knew this and should have included it in your post.

The fact that your post "drag queen races" came immediately after a post about drag racing (from a poster you have butted heads with 1000+'times) and one that came after a post about formula one racing, indicated that you were phishing.

Like 1000% . . .

there are three basic classifications. Le Mans Hypercar , LMH,, Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), and Le Mans GTE LMGTE-AM LMH and LMP2 are built from scratch (basically) and are very fast, LMGTE-AM start out as street legal sports cars and are modified to race. All are enclosed cockpit cars.

No butting heads here. Dude has been on mute since 11-1-21, not a single reply back from me.

So tell us, who is “the other guy” you post about daily . . .

Whoever posts on the CSSN SBC site, please link Jay’s post about what are the issues with La Tech on the usual “what if/what teams the SBC need to add”. I just don’t get it, most of the ones with the Joneses to add teams are the same ones that left crappy situations. Plus anyone with half a brain can see the SBC East departing in the next decade or so.

I did not see a post from Jay in that thread. I know he generally goes Bird of Paradise on that forum.

I just read that Hendrix racing will race stock car at LeMans and it has been running very competitive lap times.

Not in that thread, was a post last summer. Explained how the necksters pretty much offended almost everyone at one point or another.

Tour de France.

I've watched every minute since 1989.

Wait....... you're not an engine builder now, are you?

Great, since you and the SVT of FoMoCo are on the Cajuns Athletics board I have a couple ideas about the FR engines. Nevermind, I'll leave that to you and Ford Racing.

I saw that, they will be in one of the GT classes. It will be interesting to see if they can get the endurance of the car worked out. I think they can get the speed and aerodynamics ok. Pit stop work will be another thing.

One year Mercedes got their front end aerodynamics all wrong. The car was coming to a crest in a hill at just the right speed and the damn thing took off like an airplane. It did a few front flips and side flips and landed in the woods about 200 feet off the track. It was a 9 out of ten if it was a gymnastic event. They thought the driver was dead until a tv shot from a chopper showed the driver sitting next to his car. I'm thinking he had to have a change of underwear. Anyhow, Mercedes had two other similar cars in the race. They called them into the pits, drove them into the garage and closed the doors behind them.

NM means “no message.”

I accidentally responded to your message when I was meaning to respond to someone else. But since we’re on the topic, I’m not surprised one bit that you’re a nAsCaR fan.

Should be a fun summer. Can’t wait to see how clowns like Vic and Vic-adjacent doofuses like this ruin RP even further. Might be the final deal knell.

Ah well, troll on..
