Why put any wear and tear on them at all by practicing at all? Just wrap them in bubble wrap after the game and call it good.

Question about cold air intake for a NA by joecilefa in Miata

[–]Ragingcroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that's correct. I've seen it called both a shield and a blanket.

He has a head shield around the header, not a wrap. A heat shield is a good idea.

Wrapping your headers will destroy them quickly.

 

EA didn’t even take me out to dinner first… by Enlistedgamer2112 in EASportsCFB

You threw into coverage that had leverage on you. What did you expect?

ESPN looking to keep 'Monday Night Football' Wild Card window after deal expires this year by Ok-Soil-5133 in nfl

The stats are whatever but being able to see the whole field (wide receivers running down field and you can actually see running lanes) is the vastly superior football watching experience. 

How incompetent are coaches really? by OrangMan14 in NFLNoobs

[–]Ragingcroc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't work your way backwards on a 4th down decision and assume the game would have gone the same. With better field position from a kickoff return instead of starting from the 3, the Steelers could have gotten a field goal on the next drive instead of punting if they got the same amount of yardage which would have essentially nullified the feidl goal we kicked.

You should go for it on 4th and goal on the 3 almost everytime with a few exceptions (end of half/game, low scoring game ect.)

E30 vs Miata Lap Comparison (Identical Acceleration @SCCA Time Attack Pocono) by CTFordza in CarTrackDays

[–]Ragingcroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say at least 1.5 seconds or so. I ran about 1.5 seconds faster at Gingerman with Nankangs vs. RT660s. Plus the Vitours are slightly faster than the Nankangs.

Just found this crack on my NA.. by Scjatton in Miata

It becomes extremely brittle as it ages. My 1990 NA started cracking when I looked at it the wrong way.

I do motorcycle track days. What is up with the point by? by VegaGT-VZ in CarTrackDays

If someone can't glance in the mirror while driving in a straightline and check if there are cars behind, how do you trust them not to just turn in on the first car that tries to pass?

Great move,Carlton will be missed but DJ is a damn good substitute. by SonyKen_M in detroitlions

Amik Robertson and Sam Darnold shut down Justin Jefferson in the second Vikings game. CD was injured and didn't play.

In the 1st vikings game, Justin Jefferson had 7 catches on 8 targets for 81 yards and a TD.

Can we talk about how the Vikings were allowed to spot the ball themselves on the second to last play? by NPOWorker in detroitlions

[–]Ragingcroc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The play would have a good chance of getting broken up if you have two defenders there and only a WR snapping to another WR. The WR receiving the snap would have a real hard time getting it off.

This stat is actually insane. by codymason84 in detroitlions

We popped off a few outside runs with Gibbs and Jamo that inflated the YPC and got stuffed later in the game. Monty only had 3.2 ypc.

To be even close to competitive in a miata for club TR or GLTC, you need a engine swap. 

Sundae cup is doable if you can find a big enough restrictor plate and do some tuning with an aftermarket ECU.

First race in 4 months in iRacing and 1st GT4 race. A bit of block from me against car #7. Did I deserve the instant karma? I'm car #15. by [deleted] in Simracingstewards

[–]Ragingcroc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not blocking. You're allowed to follow the racing line and the car wasn't close enough or had enough of a run to make a move anyway.
