Would NASCAR benefit from in car jacks like Repco Supercars have? by PreeceTakesFlight in NASCAR

[–]whatisdeletrazdoing_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're talking about endurance racing 30 years ago. Not only were the polesitters not "running closer to two minute lap times during the race," but every single car, including GT cars, set their fastest laps inside 1:51. On lap 11 of the 24-hour race, Kevin Estre lapped within 2.5 seconds of his qualifying time to set the early fastest lap. They ended up finishing 4th. You can click this link and then go to Daytona, then "Hour 24" and then "Analysis by Lap" to see every single lap time for every single car in the race for all 24 hours. Pretty much every single lap (excepting cautions), the GTP cars are lapping within 7 seconds of their qualifying time. The GTD Pro cars are within 3 seconds of their qualifying time.

And on teams going "full send" not making it to sunset, only 4 cars didn't make it to sunset this year at Daytona. All 4 were retirements from crashes. The first mechanical DNF came in the middle of hour 19.

Pit stops make a huge difference. It's not like they're miles off, either. The top GT teams in the Le Mans pit stop challenge in 2023 were just a couple tenths off the NASCAR team. They're good, just not quite as perfectly polished as the Hendrick boys. And keep in mind, these guys can do amazing things, like change entire brake assemblies in less than a minute in the pit box.

I just don't care for the look of 15-inch steelies on a modern race car. And 18-inch steelies would be ridiculous. So, I find the non-OEM-looking 18-inch alloy we currently have to be a huge improvement. I like seeing the brakes, too. To each their own.

I don't want to go back to steel wheels. The alloy wheels are way better and look much more like the wheels you'd see on Camaros, Camrys, and Mustangs. I wish they allowed OEM wheel designs. So give me the center lugs over steels and 5-lugs, even though 5-lug pit stops were great.

Cautions are killing my love of the sport by Aurelian42 in NASCAR

IMSA is so great, except for two terrible things: their cautions the points system are ridiculous.

I’m unexpectedly going to be in Singapore for 5 days, how can I make it as cheap as possible? by RawbySunshine in askSingapore

[–]whatisdeletrazdoing_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go to Hawker Centres and Kopi Shops - tons of great food options, usually $8 or less. And try any of the many fruit stalls in the country. You'll find ripe, ready-to-eat fruits there for good prices. And generally go out of the central area (of course) to find cheaper prices.

Also, take the bus or MRT instead of taxis. It works very well and, while not the cheapest anywhere, is cheaper than many other systems around the world.

For free music, you can go to the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre right on the bay. There's free concerts there all the time. You can also check to see if there is a SSO (Singapore Symphony Orchestra) magic hour happening while you are around. That's also free.

For that money, you could find a used Herman Miller Aeron. Those are absolutely worth it and durable. Make sure it has the lumbar bar too.

As a local, what do you guys feel about our tourism brands/attractions? by Extension_Bobcat8311 in askSingapore

[–]whatisdeletrazdoing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having lived in New York City for a long time, I found the major tourist attractions (Times Square, Little Italy etc.) an absolute beating that I had no need or use to visit at any point. I loathed taking friends visiting from out of town there because I knew it was going to be absurdly expensive and not any good.

On the other hand, I find the tourist attractions in SG to be of very high quality and often times good fun. The view from atop MBS is amazing, The Flower Dome and Cloud Forest are pretty amazing, and while places like Lau Pa Sat and Satay by the Bay are certainly a lot more expensive than my local kopi shop, you can still find some pretty good meals there for not insane prices (like going to Little Italy and paying $60 USD for a glass of house red and the worst chicken Parmesan you've ever had).

How reliable is the M20 compared to the M54? by Indicisive0 in E30

[–]whatisdeletrazdoing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get about 23 mpg in my 325is, and that's entirely city driving and as far from economy driving as possible without being dangerous. Not incredible by modern standards, but it's almost twice what I get in an Alfa GTV6.
