Re: What A Racing Weekend, wow! - SPOILERS
Agreed. Amazing racing all weekend. I still don't understand why Speed feels the need to run a few races a year on Fox. Starting the coverage with the race already started, no pre-race, no...

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
I can only imagine how bad that must have been for you! If it was that bad for me 1/2 a straight later, it must have been like the fog rolling into SF Bay.

What a great weekend! Great to meet up with Fatih and Brian this weekend. Sorry about the BMW sending debris from the blown motor through your radiator Brian. At least we were able to slow you...

Re: Close Call at South Bend
Good catch. I was typing and thinking just the opposite in my explanation. T1 is actually increasing radius. Bonus points for Fatih! Another reason it is better explained over a beer :)

Re: Close Call at South Bend
Slip angle is probably easier to explain over a beer :)
However, the quick explanation is that when you deform the contact patch the tire (lateral load) will travel in a direction not the same as...
