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?
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.
In Canadia, we get it on Sundays.
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!
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.
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.
Vortex is making me drool.

It's a great layout. And not a lot to hit if you go off track which always seemed like a good thing when you have the historics and vintage cars zooming around.
I'm starting to look for cool and unusual earrings already at some of the more eclectic boutiques for Xmas gifts for both Kris and Courtney, and maybe Mom as well.
Look for (or check ebay) for earrings made from silverware. My parents buy me 99% of my earrings, and I have 3 pair made from spoon handles that are just awesome. They are from a local craftsman at their farmer's market, but I'm sure others have thought of it.

Ooh! I have a pair of those! I love them, but they're really heavy. I can only wear them for a little while.
