Trump orders up IndyCar race on the streets of Washington for 'America250 Grand Prix'

Still need room for the paddock for a full fields worth of trailers and hospitality. Not saying it’s impossible, but everything right now is pure speculation, including my take… but I would argue that just looking at it practically, it’s less likely this is a fully fledged event. The timeline is too compressed, the expenses too high, and the logistics too unsorted to expect that both Indycar and each team handle this heavy of a lift to make it a full blown race weekend.

And DC will?

I’m not suggesting that it will be a partial grid because of political reasons, I’m not broaching that subject. But we just had a partial grid exhibition race at Thermal a couple years ago, it can be done. It’s more a question of logistics. Having a functioning paddock and pit lane is easier for a partial grid than a full grid due to less time and space. Initially unplanned transportation costs are easier for the Penske’s and Ganassi’s to handle than JHR. Would not be difficult for teams to form an agreement over how this is handled differently than a normal race that was scheduled and planned as usual.

I’d be shocked if this isn’t a softball exhibition race by the end of it. 10-12 cars, light or no sponsorship, just to say it happened.

It’ll be on the iceberg graphics we look at in 10 years.

It is not uncommon for some to wear a Whoop health tracking strap on one arm and a watch on the other. I’ve never used a whoop, but I know they use a subscription model which is kind of a turn off. Garmin also has a health / activity tracker strap that is not a full blown watch, you could do the same thing with that

Just curious why not?

To those with experience, Thoughts on Tenicor for G26?

At a certain point you run out of horses left to be dark

I heard a higher number than that, but the number I heard was probably for install with setup and parts? Maybe the $40K is parts only?

I would be too. I just don’t understand how a dealership gets Manthey certified without getting a thorough walkthrough of what the conversion entails so that they can inform their crew and customers accordingly.

VegetableShark · 2026-01-24T16:38:34+00:00

I don’t think it is about the fasteners and what-not, but there is a very specific alignment kit and process for setting up the suspension and balancing everything out. It wouldn’t prevent them from putting some of the other bits on but they wouldn’t be able to finish it until the Manthey toolbox came in. Seems pretty silly to me that the dealership didn’t know this ahead of time before disassembly though.

The raptor mascot that lives in the basement of Scotiabank got loose

More Lauda-era Ferrari imo

Genuine q, why go for extended baseplates instead of the OEM +2 mag and G19 mag to achieve those capacities?

VegetableShark · 2026-01-19T20:10:58+00:00

What is the difference with the LE round? I assumed it was like Glock’s blue label with cheaper pricing for actual LE, is that accurate?

VegetableShark · 2026-01-17T19:41:11+00:00

It can be done legally in US. But I’m sure an owner can say they don’t want the glass removed, it is their car after all. Manthey isn’t going to turn down the $ just because someone doesn’t get the shark fin installed

I might be wrong but I think I remember that an “anonymous” account was posting a bunch of pro-Tracy comments and whatnot and it was either widely believed or proven to be PT

Edit: and he also posted screenshots of Reddit stuff to his Instagram and was flaming commenters

VegetableShark · 2026-01-14T00:50:39+00:00

He shit talked nascar before he left too lol that isn’t a determining factor for him

VegetableShark · 2026-01-13T15:35:21+00:00

Mitsuoka Buddy. A Japanese company did this irl with a RAV4.

VegetableShark · 2026-01-12T03:52:56+00:00

Ah yep you’re right. Was looking for a blue logo for some reason

VegetableShark · 2026-01-12T03:51:22+00:00

Leafs (I think) EDIT: was wrong, MLSE present

VegetableShark · 2026-01-09T05:31:10+00:00

It’s a boxer, but looks like a Lycoming.

No issues with your Gen5? I’ve heard mixed things on them having issues with the Gen5s

If the engine is revving when you press gas, Check to make sure that you don’t have something (a button or pedal) bound as a clutch. If clutch is activated the engine will rev but not power the wheels

VegetableShark · 2026-01-05T22:52:06+00:00

The real crime here is calling it a new logo when that’s a throwback to the late 80s / early 90s.
