Amazing man. Awesome to think that he was running endurance races up untill a couple years ago. RIP
He made some damn good salad dressing, too.

Yup. Look at the url. It's a cav. They don't even make those any more.
Them's fightin' words.
Pennsylvania has three or four population centers, with unending forests in between
Keep it in third and gradually bring up the power as you progress through those tight corners. Second gear is insane for the BF1.
That and what Mackie just said.

How easy is it to take the pedal assembly apart? You could always go in and examine whether its mechanical, electrical, or software related. This could save you a bunch of trouble... or result in a heap of trash. YMMV
We had a pretty tight group of kid in my CAD class who would unleash hell on anyone who forgot to log off in the previous class. I usually would do a 'print screen' of the student's desktop. Set that as the wallpaper, then hide all the icons.
On the other hand. I have fallen prey to the "scotch tape on the mouse laser" trick. You can also go into the monitor's settings and turn the image 90 or 180 degrees. My buddies at work have pulled that one as well.

I use this stuff outside mostly. They carry it back to their nest where other ants attempt to clean them off. After a while they slow down and die. I believe it attacks their nervous system.

At the last race, in Detroit, ALMS had 28 cars spread across four classes. I don't care if the cars were hand built be Jesus Christ himself. Endurance racing ought to be a little busier than that. Only five cars finished on the lead lap after 2.75 hrs of racing.
In contrast. Grand Am had 42 cars (in two classes) start the race at New Jersey Motorsports Park (brand new track, just paved this summer). 10 cars finished on the lead lap after 250 miles of racing. Grand Am had its Koni Challange race the day before with 64 cars taking the green flag. Thirty cars completed 72 laps, the same as the race winner.
Which race weekend would you have rather watched from the side of the track? Granted, there were multiple events going on at either track over their respective weekends.
Really? Considering how many cars they get in their prototype classes, I would not come to the same conclusion. Grand Am also has the Koni challange series as well. I would agree, however, that ALMS has more money being dumped into it per car. Whether that is good or bad for the racing can be debated.
Grand Am/ Koni Challange is really a continuation of Motorolla Cup, which was born out of the death of the old Firestone Firehawk series in the early 90's. The involvement with Nascar is what brought the Daytona Prototype cars into existance.
hmmm. gonna be interesting.
I'll bet my Land Rover does pretty well, too. Screw national origin. It's not like cars are exclusive to their home country. I do have an American and a British vehicle, but I'd buy whatever fits my needs. I'll wave my flag when the need is there, but a car is a tool to get a job done (commute, race, work, recreation, whatever).
Sir, Yes sir!
Ya know what I like about the lottery drawings? It means that Wheel and Jeopardy are coming on in a few minutes.
Riverside ought to be dropped from the list. Its condition is worse than 'disused'. There are houses and businesses over top of the old track.
As a replacement, I offer New Jersey Motorsports Park. It was financed and designed by the people that revived VIR a few years ago. The facility has two awesome tracks.
Also, many ovals also have road course configurations (Lowes, Daytona, New Hampshire, Pocono, California, Phoenix, Texas, Texas World, Pikes Peak, Homestead-Miami, need I go on?).
Calling North America's road course offering 'weak' would be crazy. There are dozens of other tracks in current use that could be named.

There really shouldn't be much of a change. Grand Am is currently owned by ISC. The controlling ownership of ISC stock is held by the France family. Ipso facto, presto chango, owned by Nascar.
#10 is an English size.
Typical Inside Diameter Range .15" (5/32") to .249" (15/64")
Willy Wonka would beg to differ.
Oh, and "American's" implies possession. apostrophes ftw!

Rockin' Watkins Glen. Who says a big old American car can't get around a race track?

Are you new to the internet? This is exactly how internet forums work. 50% bravado, 45% douchbaggery, 15% pandering to forum leaders.
Me, I've never had a girlfriend. 24 years old, still happy.
Am I the only one out there that thinks that Bristol was better as an asphalt track? Might I be the only one around who remembers watching those races?
Good reasons to watch Speed on Sunday Aug. 31
Grand Am at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
I just spent the weekend running a track event at this brand new facility. First off, it is a first class facility even though it still looks like a construction site in a lot of ways.
However, there are a few talking points:
-Pit out is extreemly narrow and empties onto a fast short chute.
-The back stretch features a good crest. My track car would get real light and occationally spin the front tires. I will expect race cars to catch a bit of air as they come over the hill. I call it "the hump".
-There is almost zero vegetation in the run off areas. Anyone who puts a wheel off will cause a dust storm.
This WILL be an exciting race to watch. Turns one through 4 are fast with straights in between. T5-14 is a technical like the first half of VIR.

Once again, you guys have scared the fella away with your bickering and bitching. Good job everyone!!
He sure did. However, both Pocono and Hew Hampshire run many more road course events than oval races. Pocono can have multiple road races occuring at the same time.
I'm not too different from Forbin. We're about 100 miles from each other.
