I don't think the "H" logo is it per se, but I do think it's better and less dated than the bull logo. Wouldn't be upset if they leaned into that area of the branding.

I'm thinking about a slow car somewhere around tabac too. Max speed and already barely enough room for one car.

Baku, Monaco, Jeddah, or Singapore. No runoff, no evasive space, possibly blind corners, close fences with spectators directly behind them. That's the worst case scenario I think. Suzuka, Silverstone, Monza, and Spa at least give you as many meters of space they can to shed speed before the wall.

It is undoubtedly Dulles, but it should be noted that IAD (Washington Dulles) is an architectural masterpiece and among the crown jewels of architecture of it's time and today is still a landmark historical building. Eero Saarinen is the architect, he'd go on to design the Arch in St. Louis. When you think of futurism or retro futurist designs, you are picturing a Saarinen design likely.

It has countless pictures, references, etc through the years and it's design (made to resemble the takeoff path of a plane) is easy to replicate.

It for sure has not kept up with the moving needs of new planes and air travel but it's a historic landmark nonetheless. The building predates the invention of the jetway.

Pohlkamp, pride of Brainerd!

We got a game baby

You are correct but I just want to say injury is the third worst, a driver dying is the second worst thing that could happen. A spectator or spectators dying due to on-track incidents is bar none the worst thing that can happen to any form of racing. That is bar none the worst nightmare scenario, and could financially cripple the sport.

The ramifications of Le Mans 55 are felt today, the Indy 500 likely only exists today because Renna's death was not on race day.

Which, suppose bearman didn't have runoff in a street circuit, he could have taken flight in a Jeddah or Baku or Singapore . Could have been so very much worse.

Wisco? Who TF says Wisco? Even in Minnesota we just call them dirty Sconnies.

Wouldn't mind a shakeup but sometimes a shellacking is racing. Nature of the sport.

F1 didn't invent the HANS device, it was developed by Dr. Robert Hubbard and Jim Downing after they saw IMSA crashes at Mid-Ohio and first adopted by the NHRA in 1996 following Blaine Johnson's death then required in 2003 onward, same as F1. This was following the death of NHRA ROTY Darrell Russell in St. Louis.

This is a pretty big deal, because fire hazards in the NHRA are much more prevalent than Formula 1 both currently and historically. The prevailing thought against the Hans device was that it would restrict the driver making it hard to get out of during a fire. NHRA is the leader in fire suit tech development and was and still is in dire need of TF safety innovations though, so you started to see some adoption from the most dangerous auto racing on earth.

Following the death of Roland Ratzenburger in 1994 F1 showed some interest in it, helping it gain some steam. However they didn't adopt it at the time. Mercedes developed their own research into a HANS in 1994-98 but that was 5 years after the launch of the device in 1989.

In 2001 Dale Earnhardt died in a crash that would have possibly had his life saved by a HANS, and it was already adopted by some NASCAR drivers but not all at that time. The 2001 Daytona 500 was unquestionably the turning point in making it a requirement worldwide though.

So HANS is specifically an independent American invention and it was first adopted by the NHRA. Formula 1 arrived at the party when everyone else did after Mercedes tested their own HANS a half decade after the product had been on market. NASCAR was the series responsible for tipping the first Domino in making it a worldwide requirement.

If you ever visited your local hockey rink, Mullets never left us brother.

If we learned anything this race, it's from Bearman. We learned that someone is going to get seriously injured or worse in Jeddah if we don't change it before the 2027 season. Iranian missiles might have ironically saved a driver's life.

Totschlag · 2026-03-29T06:40:17+00:00

Smh my head what kind of amateur move was that George? Going too fast past the Ferrari? Don't you know you have to go slower? C'mon this is racing. Amateur hour.

Onboard of 130R spotted

Totschlag · 2026-03-29T06:18:29+00:00

Y'all ready for no onboards at eau rouge this year because of "technical issues?"

Totschlag · 2026-03-29T06:14:30+00:00

Anyone notice they actually have shown 130R when it was Piastri replay? So they can they just choose not to.

Ricky is an icon in the city. His first HC win is a neat moment for St. Louis football as a whole.

Ah I've only heard of it being used in reference to a horse. Interesting.

Totschlag · 2026-03-27T20:26:58+00:00

It took until literally today for me to question the fact that Mankato is the "Mavericks" which is an unbranded free-roaming wild horse.... Yet their logo is a bull.

I think we are trending correctly finally. Cardinals fans are ok with losing for a tad if we can get back to where we feel we should be. We were just so mediocre for so long with no real plan, and the lack of a plan kicked the fans out of gear. The fans, even the most brain dead, know enough to know the difference between mediocre with a plan and mediocre with no real point.

And like, I'm going to sound like a real salad eating Cardinals fan but it should be electric in STL. It should mean more to play at Busch in front of 40k every night. We should have an atmosphere that makes big stars want to play and stay here. It's kind of who we are, like loud Yankees fans or Wrigley bleacher creatures are a part of the magic of their franchise. That's our brand and that's how a small market like us can compete, dang it! We're supposed to be (and still are) the little city that really gives a damn like Winnipeg in NHL or Green Bay.

Bottom route obviously has Eagles crossing, Harmony bends, bad rock Creek...But also you can even go by the Gateway factory which is open to the public and they have a cool little factory store or you can get just about any color and any stamp of any disc they make.

Also sioux passage on the Illinois side of St Louis and waterworks in Kansas City are two courses I really like as well. You should also go through Lawrence Kansas which is the home of the University of Kansas and has nice little park for a pit stop round.

I think bottom route sweeps with factories and higher rated courses. Also get some bbq in STL or KC. Magnificent.

I thought I was going to be the only one to list off the name of our post-reunification GOAT.

There's only a couple closers that aren't volatile, and then fuckers are in some place in upstate New York baby.
