I thought this was a thread for "funny" pictures.

Quote from Cornys :

I've never really seen NASCAR make a restart order mistake, but it is of course possible.

The Carl Edwards Richmond 2012 incident with the restart was quite messed up.

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Lol

It gets funnier when you consider the fact that the house that was used at Ricky Bobby's house in Talladega Nights was actually Kurt Busch's real life house (I think).

He received minor foot fractures.

But... That's in Canada... :P

It turns out that Scott Pye flew through the air for about 45 metres (150 feet)...

This happened not too long ago.. And by not too long ago, I mean in the last hour or two.

Dawesdust, fun fact:

There are some states were you can legally purchase a gun, cigarettes, and alcohol all without getting out of your car.

Sometimes you don't even have to get IN your car. Or even out of your house.

Stewart-Haas Racing will field the #4 Chevrolet SS for Kevin Harvick beginning in 2014.

For you?

The V8 Utes have adopted a Formula One style knock-out qualifying.

Quote from Speedcafe :

The Auto One V8 Ute Racing Series will feature a Formula 1-style knock-out qualifying session at its second round of the season at Barbagallo on May 3-5.

The regular 30 minute session will now be broken up into three segments of 10, seven and five minutes.

Twelve of the 32 drivers will be eliminated after Q1, with a further 10 dropped after Q2.

The format will almost certainly cause controversy around the tight Barbagallo layout as drivers try and find clear track in Q1.

Qualifying is of particular importance in the V8 Ute class as its carries the same points weighting as each of the three races.

Reigning Barbagallo V8 Ute round winner Kim Jane says that conserving tyres will be the key under the new qualifying format this weekend.

“Perth’s a track that is unbelievably hard on tyres, it’s an abrasive track,” he said.

“A lot will be tactical; the fewer laps you can do in qualifying, the better your tyres will be for racing.”

Nah, he was hit in the head by a drone missile.

Which was fired by the FBI.

Quote from flymike91 :

I wonder how many of the blog authors you quote have graduated a real school with a degree in journalism.

Wait... You're questioning Racer X? I thought you were the conspiracy theorist with him...

Quote from Racer X NZ :

The news that Russia asked the FBI to investigate Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011 has left many wondering whether an opportunity was missed to detect a future terrorist.

Unless the FBI investigators are psychics that can see into the future, I don't they will just be able to go "I think this Tamerlan guy will commit acts of terror against the US in the future. Let's lock him up."

Unless say Tamerlan said something odd, I don't think they could just do that.

Scott Pye's crash at Symmons Plains a few weeks ago measured at 28 g's.
