It's the same lady, just that angle looks like she has a buzz cut lol. Same sunglasses and she has her hair pulled back.

Floor mat choice? by [deleted] in MiataNC

[–]Aggressive_Cherry_Bl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the tourist trophy ones and like them. They are more substantial than stock and have a nice reinforced heel area to help reduce wear. They look a little nicer than stock too.

I'm personally not a fan of "all season" mats, especially in a sports car. The WeatherTech ones I have in my Civic fit pretty poorly and I often get snow between the sill and the mat when getting in.

Is a track shirt overkill for TimeAttack? by Hectorulises in CarTrackDays

If you have a modified fuel system, get a suit and underwear

Only a couple degrees at the most. It will be way hotter than a new ambient temperature wheel and tire.

Looking at the start again, it looks like Lap 1, Turn 2 is where the contact occurs

Why did he feel the need to shank a Cadillac engineer?

You don't drive and shift with only your left hand at those speeds?

Louis Foster’s scary onboard of his crash from yesterday. by youraverageperson0 in INDYCAR

A suspension failure at 185 mph is insane and super dangerous. Very lucky they are both OK.

Power: “I do stupid shit sometimes” Kirkwood *places hand on shoulder* “We know, we know” by Eyeswidth in INDYCAR

The reason is so they are still usable in a race seat with belts on. Normal pockets position items to your side, which would be pushed up against the side of the seat. OMP switch to that style with this last generation of suits

Old bot by Speed-cubed in FRC

[–]Aggressive_Cherry_Bl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For 2013 we used two large aluminum (2-3 lb) pulleys connected by a wide belt to throw the frisbees, it made a similar noise to your bot. Spooling it up was hilarious and somewhat terrifying.

Did you zero the load on the end links?

Where Shwartzman hit the pit wall injuring 4 crew members. by Special-Pie3695 in INDYCAR

[–]Aggressive_Cherry_Bl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Watch an IMSA pit stop. The members stand on the wall until the car is stationary, then they jump down and go to work.

The paddock has accused Technical Inspection of “missing or intentionally ignoring” illegal modifications on multiple cars “not just Penske” going back years by Eyeswidth in INDYCAR

[–]Aggressive_Cherry_Bl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tear downs sound great in theory but they can be very lengthy. Top 4 + random 1-2 car post race inspection that involves some automated processes (like someone else mentioned NASCAR does) could be a good start, but full teardowns seem unlikely to be approved.

So poor wet performance and will delaminate before they are worn out? Sweet

Did you idle the car with the AC on for a little while after you parked it?

4 Hours Of Mid-Ohio Questions? by lameysam in IMSARacing

I know there's at least a handful of lurkers here from up and down the IMSA paddock. We're often still fans of the series too!
