I've seen sprint cars go over the wall a few times at Virginia Motor Speedway. I don't think small tracks want to spend money to put up a catch fence where nobody can sit/get to.
Anybody know if there are any promo codes for resubscribing?
EDIT: Eh, too late, I caved in.

Facebook isn't innocent when it comes to that either.
Google+
Does anybody else have it? I kinda like it so far, pretty clean. If you want an invite, just PM me your e-mail address.
What's wrong with Grand-Am going there? Great series going to a great road course, seems pretty good to me.
I had that philosophy too, I hit a home-run when we went to Sonoma, but I changed them to something different for Daytona and completely failed.
Probably the only time I regret not having G4. Such a terrible station.
No I didn't intentionally make it confusing, and I never stated that it was harder than other places, I just stated that it was an annoying process. Please get off of your high horse.
In Virginia, when we are 15 years and 6 months old, we can go to DMV(Department of Motor Vehicles) and take a learner's permit test. It's a two part test. The first portion is a 10 question test about road signs, and you have to get a 100% or you will fail the whole test, and have to wait 2 weeks to retake it. The second portion is a 25 question general knowledge test, where you have to get 20 out of 25 correct. Once you pass that, you get your learners permit, which lets you drive with an adult(18 years if family member, 21 if not).
Once you hold your learner's permit for a certain amount of time(it was either 6 months, or 9 months, can't remember) You have to take "Behind The Wheel". Which is a course that the High Schools have. You set a time with the instructor(usually a school teacher), and you have to drive around for a full week, for an hour before, or after school. Now, you can totally **** up during the first 4 days, and nothing will happen to you, because the last day is "Driving Test Day". If you screw up on that day, you have to wait 2 weeks before attempting the whole week again. And I forgot to mention, "Behind The Wheel" costs $100, for every attempt. Now if you do pass this, he hands you your ghetto 90-day Driver's License that is a totally legitimate driver's license, but you have to have your Learner's Permit with it for it to be legal. Once you pass and get that paper copy, the school schedules a "Driver's License Ceremony" in the auditorium like every month. You show up to that all dressed up and stuff, and the judge sits there and tries to tell you all of these bullshit sentimental stories about accidents, and how safe driving is the right way to drive. And after about an hour and a half of ignoring the judge, he calls you up, one by one in order by name. You walk up to the stage, throw your Learner's Permit and paper license into this big bin, he hands you your real hard-copy license, and off you go.
All of this happens after you take the "Driver's Education" class during 10th grade of high school. Basically, it is combined with our PE class. Normally PE classes are combined with Health class, so we would go to PE for 2 weeks, and after those were up, we would go to health class for 2 weeks, rinse and repeat, all with the same teacher. But for the first half of 10th grade, you go to Driver's Education instead of Health class. You HAVE to pass this class in order to take Behind The Wheel. Now, instead of taking and passing this class in high school, you can take a private driving school class, which is expensive as hell.
TL DR; Being able to drive is annoying as shit.

Well the team wanted to go out again originally, but Marco was too afraid of losing their time and kept saying no. Bad judgement on his part I guess.
Wow talk about a close bump day.
Even before the weather, when there was video, it was like 5 seconds slower than the audio, and then it just cut out. It's so tempting to hear them going around the track while watching a black screen.
Wow, the live stream on IndyCar's website blows, the sound is great, but it's not like I would like to SEE it or anything...
Looks like we've got another one that caught the bug.
2 Blackhawks and 2 chinooks were used.
Less fuel consumption maybe.
Yeah and it gets me irritated sometimes when people are like "Well the Toyota engines have more power than the rest." I say "No, GIBBS engines are more powerful, TRD engines have shit power." There was a test at VIR last year, and Marcos Ambrose and Jeff Gordon decided to swap rides, and Jeff said he couldn't believe how much less power the TRD engines actually have.
I think it's more like Red Bull/MWR gets Toyota backing. They are the only teams running TRD engines, Gibbs builds their own engines if I'm correct.
I meant to write "yellow flag" instead of "green flag" in that sentence.
And my driver finished 5th thanks to pit strategy!
The flagman waved the yellow there. I think he saw that crash and knew it was going to be a caution so he just waved. The greenflag wasn't announced on Carl's radio(and on the TV ticker) until after the white flag was called.
Because there is no danger in pushing for a fast lap while in a simulator.
Richard Towler is crying on facebook about how much iRacing's physics are crap. Way to bash the company that got you a job, tool.
