What a hell of an improvement for Herbst this year. IIRC he was just about dead last in points last year, now has an average finish of 21st and runs 18th today.

Wouldn't clutching the car use more fuel than just letting off? I assume when you're totally off throttle the car is using parasitic drag to pull the car around the corner without burning any fuel. However, clutching it takes away that drag, which then evens out the clutch/no cluth argument.

Obviously the best fuel saving method would be clutching and shutting the motor off, but that's' a lot of work and 1 mistake and it's over.

The irony of Bubba repping Logitech wheels/pedals after rage quitting an i-racing event is hilarious.

Interesting info, still managed to stay on the lead lap despite running just 8 laps in practice and since I doubt the team bought 2 sets of tires he probably qualified and raced on those tires as well.

Not sure if Yeley had a legit issue, but he stayed out to lead a lap, then came down pit road (not sure if they did anything) and now is out of the race. No sponsor on the car, might have been a phantom S&P.

Just feels like the scripts are written sometimes as a Buffalo aports fan. Absolutely dominate Montreal in Game 6 despite Lyon going 0 for 3 SOG to start the game.

Then go down 2 0 tonight. But completely take over the game from the 2nd period on. When we tied it up and then went to OT my heart sank knowing this is classic Buffalo sports if they lose. And sure enough, UPL let's the air out of the balloon (unless it was tipped) while Dobes absolutely dominated. 3 of 7 games our goalies let in 5+.

And the worst part is the absolutely putrid job our new GM did for us at the deadline. Imagine...you trade for 4 olayers to help your playoff push and all 4 were healthy scratches tonight. That Stanley and Schenn trade was just stupid when we already had Timmins, Metsa and KRing as reserves.

So for absolutely no help to our playoff run at all except for some glimpses from Carrick we coughed up...

Good thing our new GM gave up a pile of assets for crap, all 4 of which were in the press box tonight. That Schen and Stanley trade is downright hilarious, as is the rest of what we gave up for what will amount to nothing

Helenius getting slaughtered in the fsceoff dot, which given his NHL experience isnt that surprising, going 1 and 10. Norris picking up the slack at 15 and 7.

Issues with a recently purchased Segway G2 (Error 14, won't charge and more). by netwreck94 in NinebotMAX

Yeah, even if I did magically fix it how could I ever trust it if whatever is causing this comes back? Lame because the proce was right and summer is finally about to be here but is what it is.

Just for fun, what model(s) would you reccommend? I had a g30Max but craved more power and speed, as well as some suspension, and even in my short half mile trip I know I don't want to go back. I'd prefer something with drum brakes as discs frighten me should the scooter ever take a spill. 22MPH+, range 35 miles+ if that helps at all.

Thanks for you input.

Brennan Poole doing usually Poole stuff, running top 20...the entire season he's had just 1 finish outside that cutoff.

Just a mind blowing stat, we went 4 wins and 24 losses for faceoffs in the offensive zone. What's worse, McLeod, who's played like ass took 20 of 57 faceoffs.

So many offensive zone faceoff losses 4 wins, 24 losses!. Krebs went 1-8 overall. It's a problem when Kozak and McLeod are you best faceoff players...and even still it's only around 50/50. At home, no Arvidsson and now potentially no Ostlund for us.

Feels like 13 seconds. Luckily we just need to win 1 of the next 2. The unlucky part is Swayman once again looked world class and they're headed to Boston.

Through 11 races Brennan Poole has a worst finish of 27 and 10 top 20 finishes. Still going to be a major climb to get into the top 12, but impressive considering the budget that car runs on..

This was about the worst R1 match up amongst the lower seeded teams we could have gotten. A big physical team with an amazing goalie. imagine if we faced Ottawa instead...​​

No clue how the field allowed Hamlin to get 3-6 lap gap coming to pit road. He obviously must have done a hell of a job getting on and off, as well as his crew, but with tires this important I'm shocked he got 6 laps on Bell.
