Is there a thread somewhere I don't see for last minute discussion about specifics for next week track days? Seems like novices may have some questions or benefit from comments from the advance drivers about what to prepare for; stuff that is not in the registration standard blurbs. Weather...

Kip Olson and Shad Huntley are back at it again for this year's SCCA Run-offs. The race, which is exactly one month from now, will be right here in our West Coast lap at Sonoma Raceway. The wily pair have kept a low profile worthy of a Bob Mueller investigation to avoid tipping off the SCCA...

Al is in Mercy General (Sacramento) on life support after a 2 heart attacks over the last couple of days. He had a major attack in the ER last nite and open heart surgery at 2 this morning at Mercy General. Last weekend, he was with me at Infineon for a race weekend, wrenching on my Formula...

Just saw this "relatively serious" "critical condition" and "in a coma". Only initial reports with some potentially conflicting speculation; so I hope this is media exaggeration. Thank God he was wearing a helmet. What appeared to be relatively minor turned into something much worse thru...

I don't see a thread on this. But I just watched them yesterday for the first time and was impressed. They are awesome machines; The F-1 of sailing. Comparing them to traditional sailboats is like comparing an Adrian Newey "chassis" to mom's mini-van. As a casual observer and ex-Hobie cat...

Coming on the heels of the best Indy 500 in years is this craziness. What is with those owners? http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/miller-the-most-repulsive-revolt I know very few of you watch IndyCar anymore but I had to comment on this. It was either here or FB. :biggrin:

Another case of "Pick your poison" or just thinking too hard? So, the HANS has been around for 20+ years and is generally the most accepted and popular. Along the way, several challenges and 'better mousetraps' have come along and acieved varying degrees of acceptance and success. Here's the...

it may get old quick, but right now, I enjoyed this week's show. Of course, they hit 2 favorites of mine; skydiving and Laguna Seca, so it may not last, but it was a pretty relaxing hour to have a couple of cold ones and laugh a bit. Mostly I like Adam Carolla's "phucque off" way of talking...

The evolution of traditional sports/competition into soap opera drama is wasting my time and losing my enthusiasm, how about you? And the media is enabling, if not outright creating the lame fascination. Isn't the game itself enough for the newer generation of fans? Chanting Williams name on...

Anyone know what I can give Shad as a thank you for helping me out of an emergency? (Yeah, I called Kip and he didn't have anything right off the top of his head.) I'm betting that Shad's too busy to read this forum. I was on my way to Tahoe last week for a project meeting, had a little...

I just took a set of Schroth Profi-II6 HANS out of my race car only because they're out of date for competition. http://www.hmsmotorsport.com/store/schroth-competition-belts/profi/profi-ii Good as new. blue. $195. PM or [email protected]

Booya!!! like the 50's, 60s and 70s, when guys made up stuff in their head and then in their garage, some of the good old American boys are going to give it a shot. Should be interesting, no?..........unless it's like USF1. :redface::frown...

Any hackers living (and dying) vicariously watching the Masters? Shaping up to be an interesting couple of days. The greens are brutal enough but I'm marvelling at how the layout changes and other factors have made it so tough as well. But mostly, the story is about "the kids. If they hold...

People have been having fun with this. How about you? http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/90331 :eek: i love these quotes:

Andretti lost the 7-11 sponsorship, so Kanaan's out the door. Sad.....but not surprising. This is just the way it is and will remain for the forseeable future and likely beyond. :mad: http://www.indystar.com/article/20101030/SPORTS01/10300337/1052/SPORTS01?source=nletter-sports He was...

Anyone go this year? I haven't made it yet. Maybe next year. http://marcbrecy.perso.neuf.fr/Oshkosh.html Nice to see so many DC-3s still in the air.

Pandora on my desktop injects a lot of commercials; like one every 3 or 4 songs. But I've been listening to Pandora on my Iphone 4 and have yet to hear a commercial. What's up with that? :confused:

We've seen most of these one at a time. Here's someone's idea of the top 10 death defying stunts. http://biggeekdad.com/2010/06/top-10-jumps/

Not being an AC techie, I'm sure this is a repost, but I didn't find anything. http://www.aircraftowner.com/videos/view/f-35b---taking-stovl-to-a-new-level_1126.html Looks like after 2 years, it's still moving thru the test program just fine. PFC :cool:

I'm sure this must be a repost, but.................does Honda know about this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-hXcRtbj1Y&feature=player_embedded

Air racing is bold, no doubt about it. So I guess none of these Red Bull pilots are old, right? Safe to say this one just got a little older. :eek: http://www.redbullairrace.com/cs/Satellite/en_air/Video/Qualifying-Highlights,-Windsor-021242857591037

OMG. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIatXMiyZ6w Could they be any more incompetent? Let's just look at the response times 1. Simona de Silvestro is sliding to a stop for 20 seconds clearly with a serious fire. 2. She sits there stuck for 10 seconds before a truck rolls up. 3. The first...

http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/blog/from_the_marbles/post/Danica-Patrick-didn-t-make-any-new-fans-on-Pole-?urn=nascar,243036 Way to go girl. Get your name out there some way..........any way. :rolleyes: (Oh, and I almost misspelled the name..........how bad is that?) :tongue:

Anyone get trapped in the ash fallout 30 years ago? We were taking our first flight in an airplane we had just bought 3 days ago. Flying from Spokane to Pullman Sunday morning, we saw "this huge storm" coming. Since we were not talking to ATC, we had no idea the mountain had blown. But we...
