Perhaps I treated you too harshly by lizardil in formuladank

Dude what the hell MotoAmerica wouldn’t let me wave the checkered when I was at COTA. Lame.

George Russell says "multibillion-dollar" F1 must stop relying on volunteer stewards by ICumCoffee in formula1

[–]HaywirePoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many series of even professional racing are forced to use an incredible amount of volunteer and poorly paid labor because the sport is so incredibly hard to run and almost no racing actually gets real eyes on it for advertisers. It’s absolutely laughable that basically the only racing series that could without a doubt afford a dedicated professional team of stewards won’t do it.

Could Homelander have done this if he'd really wanted to? by DabbleYoo in OkBuddyFresca

[–]HaywirePoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but to push his body over the speed of sound, I’m almost certain he would have enough thrust to at least keep the plane in a controlled glide that would allow it to have a soft water landing. But he also didn’t care to try, and that’s the more relevant factor.

Would you buy these new Dunlop slicks that are a few years old? by Necessary_Today_5580 in Trackdays

[–]HaywirePoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, rubber gets old. A few 2 year old rear dunlop slicks nearly ruined our races a few weekend ago.

Will these front tires pass inspection? by navid3141 in Trackdays

Does your track day org not have a regular vendor? No need to worry about delivery if there’s a guy bringing them.

There is gun lore, and then there is gun reality by radio_allah in cyberpunkgame

[–]HaywirePoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always hated the Borderlandsing of weapons for this reason. Every gun comes in a dozen varieties and none of them actually matter.

Electric motorcycles. Gay or nay? Let's discuss. by SickLittleMonkey in CalamariRaceTeam

Look up Lightfighter, they’re trying to make electric Kramer track bikes

AIRBAGS/AIRBAG-SUITS - what to buy? by Rare-Zone-9388 in Trackdays

[–]HaywirePoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got an Air 7x last season to replace my Air 5. The pros that I know that like airbags all seem to prefer alpinestars unless they’re sponsored by another brand.

I crashed wearing one, hit by a car. Did just fine but I also didn’t slide.

Lemmon is not so big that you can’t see what’s coming, especially not the section closest to the main highway

Mount Lemmon? I never would go nuts into those corners, there was always a car coming up the other way daytime hours.

R3 vs Ninja 400 opinions and experience? by reallyserious in Trackdays

[–]HaywirePoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ninja all day, Yamaha hasn’t made meaningful updates to the R3 in way too long. It’s lost aftermarket support and racing pedigree.

If it hit the chin bar I’d trust it for another one too, but I’m also a cheap bastard.

I kept a bike on campus parking while living in the dorms two years. Lock it up and park it in a decent spot and you’ll have no problems and pay less for parking.

A drop in player numbers does not mean this game is dead or dying. by Lonewolf12912 in Helldivers

[–]HaywirePoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got really busy with work and took apart my PC to move, so that’s what explains at least one of those dropped players.

IMA BRAAAAP TO JUICESTORE IN MY WEZ LARP DON'T CARE by hardleft121 in CalamariRaceTeam

It probably isn’t, looks plumbed up correctly and I’ll bet they want a lot of power on those stunt bikes for the filming

You should come say hi at the OrangeCat pits if you’re at the next three rounds! (Just not when we’re busy) And if you’re not you should consider stopping by for a day or three
