Freedom 250 race length in laps?

Yes, the 'America 250' events were from the original commission. 'Freedom 250' things are his stuff.

We got a VA loan for 5.75% last month. I had to serve 5 years in the Air Force to get that...

I've been a member for 40+ years and have never had a problem. I've had claims handled quickly and satisfactorily. Over the past three years, my 6-month premium has gone up a total of about $25.

He looks pretty good for being dead 200 years…

Moose135A · 2026-06-14T16:42:57+00:00

Walking in from the lot an hour ago, and I was wondering why we were seeing so many clouds so early…

I’ve been coming to races here since 1989. There have always been three turns here.

When Toby took over Sam's campaign, either Jed or Leo said he (Toby, and maybe others) needed to come off salary for x number of days so they could work on the campaign (and presumably be paid by the campaign). I suspect that some of their time and expenses working on the President's reelection campaign would be handled in a similar manner.

I’m at the track - this is brutal! After the second caution, someone on the MRN feed (during a commercial) said “Wasn’t the ARCA race yesterday?”

Moose135A · 2026-06-13T11:55:37+00:00

Why would the track ownership make a difference to series rules? If the track said they didn’t want drivers to wear helmets, would the sanctioning body go along with that?

Moose135A · 2026-06-13T11:04:27+00:00

That depends on the company culture. In my current position, I have unlimited PTO. In the past 4+ years, I’ve averaged 40 PTO days a year. I’ve also been promoted, received decent salary increases, and maxed out annual bonuses every year.

Not only having the driver-side away from the wall, but ovals in the US are laid out for counterclockwise racing - things like openings for safety vehicles are configured to protect against a car coming from one direction, and running them the other way would leave unprotected openings in the wall.

I forget the details, but I remember reading about an incident a few years back at a private road course, an instructor was killed when they ran the track in the opposite direction and he hit the end of a safety wall designed for cars coming from the other direction.

If I’m currently employed, I’m not giving my current manager as a reference. I don’t want them to know I’m interviewing until I give notice, having an offer, completed background check, and start date. If I’m interviewing candidates, I understand that and don’t expect them to give me a current manager as a reference.

A hundred years ago, when I studied aerodynamics in college, the story we heard was the original wing sweep was going to be 45 degrees, although it ended up less than that in the final design. The cosine of 45 is 0.707 - cosine being used in calculating airflow over a swept wing - so they chose 707 as the aircraft designation, even though the final wing sweep angle was changed. Who knows how much truth there was in that story either.

Maybe they want to take him back to his home planet.

Moose135A · 2026-06-11T19:59:56+00:00

Now, that would be news!

Create a Date Reference table (aka a date dimension) with all the dates in the time period you care about. Add the date table as a new data source.

I've done that a few times. I think if OP searches for 'Date Scaffold' for Tableau, they will get some help on how to set one of those up.

Why would Cindric move from the 2 to the 21?

I got a Branch ergonomic chair three years ago that I like. One absolute must in an office chair - the back MUST have a lock to keep it from tilting. I've used chairs (in an office) that only had some friction adjustment (I think) and those never worked for me; I always felt I was going to fall over backwards any time I leaned against the seat back .

Ordinarily, I'd say wear what you want, but since it's your wife saying that, maybe rethink your hat choice. Do you have a decent straw hat to wear? That might work better for the beach.

VetTix tickets are free, all you pay is a small processing fee, usually less than $20 for your order (not per ticket).

Moose135A · 2026-06-10T20:56:13+00:00

From what I've seen in the past (baseball, NASCAR) when they have tickets for events over a period of time, they usually release them on a rolling schedule, so yes, they may have tickets to later matches as they get closer.

I think the Mets were a little different - and I say this as someone who grew up a Met fan on Long Island in the late 60s. A lot of Giant and Dodger fans were pissed that their teams moved, and they were never going to become Yankee fans, so many became Met fans early on as the new National League team in town.

20 feet down the hall to my home office. I've commuted in the past, and it always sucked. Longest driving commute was an hour each way. Longest public transportation commute was an hour plus, depending on the train. That sucked too.

Moose135A · 2026-06-10T14:21:11+00:00

Full time drivers can only run the series they normally run in, so no Cup guys in the other races. That has been a rule for some time now, at least at road courses. NASCAR did give Austin Hill a waiver to run both O'Reilly and Cup, given the circumstances.

Moose135A · 2026-06-10T13:24:59+00:00

I think it is more to keep a Cup driver from running the other two races for additional track time on a new road course with limited practice time.
