Sadly, nope. For East & Central, we still have another 2.5 hours.
Ah-ha. The Canada feed must have come through early.
Do I get Matthew Perry if I catch him, SA?
You can have anyone you want if I can have him. Promise.
Also, Amanda Peet is pregnant. Innnnnnnnnnnnnnteresting.
Studio 60 is airing in two hours.
When you said "nephew spoilage" I thought "white font, please." I should skip and skim less.
Why don't they handicap cars like they do horses? Not all horse races are handicapped - just the handicap races but how would you do "weight for age" with cars?
Obviously, you're in the Portland races. From the guys I know who race ALMS and GrandAm, it's their least favorite track. I've never been there so I have no opinion.
The open wheel guys seem to really love it and the sports guys, nsm... Not sure why that is. Maybe the width, or lack thereof.
My new favorite track has to be Miller Motorsports Park outside Salt Lake City. However, the ALMS guys didn't have as much luck there.
Gorgeous track but sooooo flat. It seemed like the lack of visual clues would be odd. Fun to watch on tv though. And likely at the track as well.
I know more about racing than I really want to. I could actually follow your entire conversation with no problems.
Sorry... But you got me shirts!!!
I could be your minion even.

In Canadia, we get it on Sundays.

Well, the idea behind "stock" cars is that the parts are all stock--everything's the same and it's a level playing field. Except for the skill of the driver. At least that's the theory, so no handicapping needed.

Reason number five billion and ONE that Canadia is awesome.
I can offer my minion services in those areas too. ;)
Considering my boss sold a project to a client that I told her would take 1 week to do and she guaranteed delivery in 3 days? I would just about take you up on that.
Sorry... But you got me shirts!!!
I did. The racing folks I deal with are all really nice, so I don't mind following racing even though I don't really appreciate the sport. (Unlike some others that I deal with.)
I could be your minion even.
Both you. C'mon over!

You beat me to my edit of that post. The lack of elevation change is really the only draw back to the track, but for the most part it's made up for in the layout. Miller and his design team built the track with historic and vintage sportscars in mind too.
And, it's definitely a disorienting track. It took the entire test day and half the next day before I could remember where I was on the track. And, they do have signs for all of the turns in places you can see as a driver without affecting your driving. Fortunately, after a couple days or less, things become pretty automatic at any track.

I'm in Commander's Palace RIGHT NOW. I'm having the tasso wrapped shrimp and the shrimp "haute creole" dessert report later.
