  1. Hey, never had to do it when I was younger. Figured it was my civic duty now that things have gone to shit. It was very encouraging.
  2. That sounds about right imho. Probably more imho, but that's a pretty good ballpark figure.
  3. From what we could tell while we were there, from about 5 to 7, DPS seemed pretty chill. Hope it stays that way. Great turnout. Very peaceful. Very respectful and patriotic. LOTS of older folks out representin'. Made me proud. It was a good day. Far better than what I expected. I hope it'll be a good night, too.
  4. No V10s? They're the best imho. With V12s very close behind.
  5. Eh ... and Le Mans is the weekend after Monaco. Hmmm ... Wheels are turning in my head. Ah, ok. Thought maybe there was some meaning behind it.
  6. Why is the USGP highlighted there? Just curious ...
  7. Yeah a position penalty would have worked there too. It's all a big mess now.
  8. He's probably made money. A lot of money. All the teams are worth far more now than they were before Lawrence bought FI for $117M. I doubt it's worth less than 10x that now.
  9. Yeah Senna pretty much invented this shit.
  10. Nah. If you were McCroskey you'd go punch him. If you were George, you'd go find a mirror and make sure your hair was perfect.
  11. Srsly. Dude is slow af and a fucking menace during the race. Contact all over the place. He's been in F1 long enough now to understand when he's diving in from wayyyy too far back. Weird how guys with much less experience than him already have a far better understanding of what they can and can't do in wheel to wheel racing.
  12. Yeah same here, but when I do understand her, she's fucking brilliant.
  13. I don't think the size of the mandatory monocoque safety cell or other safety structures have increased in recent years (or at least not significantly). They increased the size of the floor (and the length and width) when the hybrid pu components and batteries increased the weight, because they need a bigger floor to create the downforce needed to make such a heavy pig of a car perform effectively (slow-speed turns notwithstanding).
  14. It's still a race course. It's the cars that need to change. It would still be difficult to pass, as it always has been, but some passing would get done. But with these heavy, huge pigs, it's never gonna happen. When the cars were smaller and lighter, there was some passing and the ability of the cars to change direction even in medium and slow-speed corners was astonishing. That's all gone tho, because we can't have nice things.
  15. That was a perfect example of why they need to penalize positions rather than time. Such bullshit. Glad he did get a penalty tho.
  16. Yep. People are just abusing the fuck out of it and getting away with it.
  17. Oh, absolutely. 100%. And the way they allow the guard to extend way past the elbow is fucking bullshit too. It increases the chance of getting hit.
  18. My ump buddy also said they knmow people are doing it and have been trying to get on top of it but nothing's worked. Said they'd have to go to automatic review of every HBP to get it under control.
  19. I was texting my buddy who is a D2 ump, & said one way to slow all this plate-crowding down a whole lot would be to just ban the elbow guards. He responded that he was literally typing the same thing to me when he received my text. it would change everything.
  20. They don't look like they're moving into the pitch because they're starting with their elbow outside the batter's box in the first place. Same shit Kentucky did.It's ufcking bullshit. Then when they review it, there's no way for them to make that call. All they see is that the guy didn't move into it.
  21. 100% the track should punish mistakes and should instantly, automatically penalize track limits violations. Yeah Max is a fucking dog.
  22. Tally up uno mas save for the halo. At least very likely a save imho.
  23. At ABIA, just boarded our flight to Mexico. While we were waiting to board, the PA announcer comes on and in his most sarcastic Texas drawl says ... "Attention passengers in the terminal, we need the owner of the Tesla Cybertruck who left their vehicle parked sideways across two departure dropoff lanes to return to the vehicle before it is towed". That may be the most 'Cybertruck driver' thing ever. The only way the PA announcer could have made it sound more sarcastic is if he had included words like 'MAGA dumbass' or 'Mr. Musk'.
