I don't think they're very consistent at that, though I would agree that different tracks and different situations require different considerations. But at a plate track and when it will clearly decide the outcome of the race if you wait? (and wait for what, exactly? "maybe this Big One won't be very big???")
Throw it on the early side.
I find plate races tedious and boring and needlessly expensive/destructive/unsafe, so it's not like I felt like I lost out on anything, but I think this was just another entry in the long tally of NASCAR putting it's thumb on the scale and/or operating inconsistently.
Fair, but that's just a picture I took of my television. This crash was in progress and evident well before that point.
Or are you suggesting that this type of crash at this moment came as a complete surprise to race control? I mean, considered who we're talking about, I guess it very well could have...
AMG wagon and Buick are both under covers and hooked up to trickle chargers.
Haven't even opened the back garage door in over a month. Should be at least twice that except for the fact that Mrs. Doom inexplicably chose to take the garbage out through the garage instead of just using the gate to access the alley.
Just received my Trafford Crossroads Capitol Edition today.
Strap was freezing cold from transit to Chicago so it was very stiff when I first put it on, so I let it come to indoor/ambient temperature.
The strap was a lot less stiff, but still awkwardly so, so I've put it onto one of the little pillows in my storage box and will let it "break in" that way for a little while.
But it looks and feels great - very pleased with it.
The past couple of seasons have been phenomenal.
And for whatever it's worth, I have a beef with NBC over their shitful coverage of it (and specifically, fuck Peacock in the goatass), so I'm hoping that Fox is slightly less terrible. But I'm certainly expecting to be disappointed in this regard.
Cirkul water bottles were briefly quite popular among Doomlet's fourth grade class.
Surprisingly, the kids seemed to tire of them quickly, and he's back to using just a regular water bottle.
I don't want to derail this too far, but I would agree that F1 has the edge in terms of using the latest technology, of course, but the racing product in IndyCar is far and away better in IndyCar (by like a factor of ten) if you value things like passing, passing for the lead, etc.
