The "no darn good" was our fear. Rats.
Cassie, not for nothin, but it seems to me like restrictor plate racing is not such a good idea and maybe they should just field fewer cars.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Of all the things I can explain, the rules of restrictor plate racing is not one of them... Or the reasoning. Or the why. Or why I wasn't offered the kool-aid at least.
Sheesh... An hour. Why aren't there cars on the track? This is why I never watch these things live at the beginning. I should order me a pizza.

Cars? On a track? And when?
Are you meaning to imply that I am watching a race?
I am merely asking a hypothetical question in regards to the size of the grid when using restrictor plates.
I am offended, sir.
Yeah pizza. And beer too -- just embrace it.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Trudy, they basically just decided recently (some study?) that OTC cough suppressants don't do jack.
Unless your counter is in a place where they allow codeine, like canada, europe, asia, australia...pretty much everywhere but the US.

So are the restrictor plates because of the track? Or do they just like to do some of each?
Oh, and bump drafting seems sorta cool.

Trudy, they basically just decided recently (some study?) that OTC cough suppressants don't do jack. So...my Russian coworker would suggest vodka...
Somewhere I saw that what the study actually shows was that it only treats the symptoms, it doesn't actually make the cough any better. Like treating the symptoms is nothing. Must've been a slow news day.

Restrictor plates are because of the tracks. On the fastest tracks, they limit the engines to slow the cars down. Which works. But it also bunches the cars up. Which leads to chain-reaction, massively multi-car accidents, aka The Big One.
Bump drafting can be cool. Two cars can go faster than one. It is also very easy to do it stupid. Which crashes people. And can kill them. So it's better to be smart about it.
BWAH! "Toasting each other" commercial was adorable!

In a pre-race show I might have overheard all they seemed to talk about was The Big One. It almost seemed like, you know, people really do watch for the crashes.

In my experience social worker=asshat. There are degrees of course; I even like the current one, but if she told me the sky was blue I'd run out and check first. So to speak.
