Week 3 .. Las Vegas .. Who has the right stuff to take it to the limits and Git R Done? The weather looks good, the track is fast .. Join us for a spin or two in the desert.
Win big, tip big is my motto and did the missus tell you about the key & rock?? Your welcome to anything in the house but DO NOT look in the freezer....
Yeah....if yer car breaks, ya can't slide!
“The pace cars will serve as sort of a chaperone for the safety vehicles to make it as safe as possible,”
I guess they want the pace car to take the hit instead of the truck. Of course, had this been in effect at Daytona, it would have changed NOTHING as Juablo hit the next-to-last truck.
Typical over reaction.
Good intro and facts on the track. Did a Google World viewing on the complex. Wow, really big.
A $100,000-plus Fisker Automotive luxury car died during Consumer Reports speed testing for reasons that are still unknown, leaving the struggling electric car startup with another blow to its image.
"It is a little disconcerting that you pay that amount of money for a car and it lasts basically 180 miles before going wrong," David Champion, senior director for the magazine's automotive test center, told Reuters.
... The breakdown of the Consumer Reports car is more bad news for a company that already recalled some Karmas. Fisker also has changed its CEO and halted production over the past month as it seeks to renegotiate the terms of a $529 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Steve Addington suggests that they check the circuit breakers.....
Call InterState maybe?
What do Klick and Klack the Tappett brothers say about his?
That they don’t have to worry about their job? :)
Chilly up here, temps dropped over 30 degrees since 5:00.
You must be up north on Pikes Peak?

Not quite that far north, up by WCG who gave me no warning of this mess! :)
Are the old wrecked cars like bread crumbs along the trail?
The weather man reported yesterday afternoon that the temp dropped from 75 to 57 in 9 minutes when this front moved in.
Yes they are breadcrumbs :) Helps him find his way home from the old western town.
I wish someone had screencapped the stealth bombers landing during NASCAR qualifying.
Doesn’t seem to much enthusiasm for Nascar here on FR..
I’ve been off working on my own stuff.
Got my 67 Camaro running today after winter rebuild of the engine, trans, and rear end. Also 100% new brake system.
Amazingly it all seems to work, at least so far.
I haven’t rebuilt a motor in about 30 yrs.
It was 80 when I turned onto 71 and 55 when I hit son’s in Spicewood. Still ugly out there, 42 and raining.
Some of the best shots I’ve gotten of jets at TMS have come whey “they” were practicing. :)
Nascar hasn’t been doing themselves any favors lately as far as I’m concerned.
Probably not going to TMS this year and not too concerned if I miss in on TV either.
I agree - the site runs very slow, which may be part of the problem. Twitter has overtaken a lot of sites.
Vegas has Nellis right next door - Speed had some great shots yesterday of them practicing.
BTW - any football fans out there? http://www.whosay.com/darrenrovell/photos/142716
And Daytona has a base right next door too! Got a couple of shots there, but would have loved to catch one of Ronald Reagan coming in. ;)
Rolling out to the Austin stock show here shortly, girls left an hour ago. Weather still ugly.
Gave up on football except for grandsons although I do have a nephew playing semi-pro.
