Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

t hugs Airstream tightly

So... Which series do you follow? And why am I only finding this out at the Very End of the season?????

Also, you can quiz Trudy, she is quite knowledgable. And it is fun.

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

It is SO much fun.

My name is Trudy. I watch open wheel in bars. On the phone with Cass.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow. Paul Newman - racecar driver and salad dressing connoisseur....

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I place the blame squarely where it belongs: Firefly.

If a single show is to be blamed for the industry-wide trend of abandoning theme songs, I think Enterprise would be the far likelier candidate.

Because books.

Are you a NASCAR fan, Cass, or ... another kind of racing?

I copyedited six or seven books about NASCAR drivers and races and history for HarperCollins about eight years ago, and I was surprised to find myself turning on the races just to see the people I'd read so much about.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

Hmmmm. How to answer this question? Let's see. I follow mostly IMSA related venues (i.e. GrandAm, ALMS, etc.), and I *attend* most HSR events. I've actually met Paul. Very nice man. Most beautiful blue eyes. (They really are as blue as they seem on screen). ::sigh::

::returns hug to Cass::

And, I of course follow F1 as well.

And all this time I thought Cass was obsessed by horse racing.

Wow, an IMSA fan. Nice to meet you! Swoopy sports cars are just so much fun. Especially in enduros.

I am open wheel's bitch. Champ (which I have typed as CART twice now...), IRL after not following it for a while, and F1 along with their support series.

And, I of course follow F1 as well.
As you should. Next year should be fascinating. I'm rather hoping Kimi gets to show how good (I think) he is. And maybe gets some media skills. A girl can dream...

Are you a NASCAR fan, Cass, or ... another kind of racing?
NASCAR is my methadone. They start racing before anyone else and their season lasts longer. So I end up following them but not obsessively.

Next year might be different since I am sorta intrigued by Juan Pablo Montoya switching disciplines so completely.

And all this time I thought Cass was obsessed by horse racing.
Heh. No, I just think horsies are pretty and fun to ride. Plei is the one who knows horse racing, or used to follow it at least. I am all about the horsepower.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay, leeetle bit freaked. Apparently on Friday someone broke in to the apartment across the hall from me. By way of kicking in the door. Yikes.

My dad was here - he didn't mention hearing anything. But he needs to bring my guard dog back, stat.

Me too. But it makes sense to me.

And, I still refuse to believe that Schumy is retiring. Just refuse. It's not happening. However, I am excited to see what things are like next year, even though Alonso will likely be the next Shumy and dominate the season.

Especially in enduros.
You know what an enduro is? I'm speechlees. They are so much fun. Absolutely love them. A true testament to a driver's ability and a car's quality.

NASCAR is my methadone.
Mine too. However, IMSA kicks off first with the 24 hours of Daytona. and HSR doesn't end until December at Sebring :D
