Spoiler!

**Dylan** · 10-15-2017, 03:49 PM

The Big One @ Dega just happened...And my boy gets collected up in the mess along with eight others! - JimiJo, Kyle, Kurt, Truex Jr. caused the wreck. Not sure who else was involved.

Watching the Chiefs game - It is on CBS here in NYC.

Come on Chiefs! Beat those Steelers

Edit: 17 cars involved in the wreck ....

**Dylan** · 10-15-2017, 04:05 PM

Another huge wreck with less than 14 to go.

Looks like there is only one car left - Do you think that they have to complete the remaining laps?

Picked this up:

It appears that LOGA slapped BAYN on the side and then rebounded into BLAN, then as BLAN slides around, HARV and GAUG slam into him. #nascar

Edit:

Five cars on the lead lap

Daniel Suarez leading

Oh NO Another wreck

#88, 24, 18, 37

JC they take out my boy for the second time in a span of 10 min.

Third red flag....

Edit:

Oh Lord, Dale is still one of the four - right smack dab in the middle of Earnhardt Country on Dale Jr. Day @ Talladega.

Gotta love the France script...over the radio, "You know the deal..." hahaha

3 to go

Newman, Keselowski, Ragan, Hamlin, Dale Jr., Logano ....

1 to go

Wow! Keselowski takes the lead away from Newman on the last lap....

GloryDayz · 10-15-2017, 06:18 PM

Too bad the Chiefs Andy'esque performance had my attention.

Everybody in NASCAR is better than Andy Reid.

**Dylan** · 10-19-2017, 06:00 PM

WTH happened here...

NY Post: Racetrack road rage erupts with crashes, punches and a taser

Quote:

October 19, 2017
An accident at a racetrack in Indiana sparked an intense fight between two drivers that resulted in one purposely ramming the other’s car. This caused the second driver to climb out of his car and punch the first, which caused a nearby police officer to tase him in front of a shocked crowd.

NBCSN: Formula 1 United States Grand Prix Qualifying

From Circuit of Americas in Austin, Texas

P3 underway

Hope they blowout NFL's viewership ratings in the U.S. on Sunday

F1 has approx. 450 mil viewership worldwide...

**Dylan** · 10-21-2017, 03:27 PM

During qualifying every single F1 driver has complained over the radio that they never been on a more bumpy track than in Texas.

Welcome to America Formula 1!

This country is corrupt - It is a place where every politician on Capitol Hill eventually becomes a multi-millionaire on $175K per year. Kickbacks are the norm of the day.

The state kicks in for F1's racing fees to appear at COA.

EDIT:
Leigh Diffey on NBCSN says the drivers would have pulled off the track but decided not to because they did not want to hurt the fans in the stands who came to watch qualifying.

Diffey says that drivers also did not want to let down their fans worldwide who tune in to watch qualifying.

What a cluster****!

GloryDayz · 10-21-2017, 05:06 PM

I'll probably watch, but Alonso 12.5 MPH slower in the speed trap than Hamilton sort of tells you the state of the sport.

I love me some F1, but 12.5 MPH isn't driver, that's team, and it's a little too much to not question.

How can it be worse than Monaco? They're racing on city streets.. Wow...

Monaco? Monte Carlo is the 'crown jewel' of Formula 1 racing - It is the most prestigious circuit on the schedule. I bet their glamorous roads are made of precious stones..: The place is so freaking rich...

The cars perform well in Monaco.

I think this is correct:

March 26 - Australia (Melbourne) street circuit
April 9 - China (Shanghai)
April 16 - Bahrain (Bahrain)
April 30 - Russia (Sochi) street circuit
May 14 - Spain (Barcelona) street circuit
May 28 - Monaco (Monte Carlo) street circuit
June 11 - Canada (Montreal) street circuit
June 25 - Azerbaijan (Baku) street circuit
July 9 - Austria (Spielberg) street circuit
July 16 - Great Britain (Silverstone)
July 30 - Hungary (Budapest)
August 27 - Belgium (Spa-Francorchamps)
September 3 - Italy (Monza)
September 17 - Singapore (Singapore) street circuit
October 1 - Malaysia (Sepang)
October 8 - Japan (Suzuka)
October 22 - USA (Austin) street circuit
October 29 - Mexico (Mexico City)
November 12 - Brazil (Sao Paulo)
November 26 - Abu Dhabi (Abu Dhabi)

The streets and roads in the countries above are as smooth as can be...

Our roads in the U.S. is almost as bad as living in a third world paved-road country .

McLaren does not have the pace this year because Honda sucks.

According to F1's broadcasters today, Alonso is to resign with McLaren and Renault will power their cars next season.

Renault supposedly is leaving Red Bull at the end of the 2018 season - I think negotiations are ongoing. I have to check.

In Sept, it was reported what has been a tumultuous relationship between Renault and RB since F1 switched to turbo hybrid engines a few years ago.

RB has continually complained about the power unit publicly and Renault supposedly had enough.

If Renault leaves, Honda will power their cars in 2019 - the worst power units in Formula 1.

NBCSN today said that Verstappen had agreed to extend his contract with the team until 2020. I am sure it has to do with Adrian Newey designing RB cars. However, they better not let Renault walk or Max is screwed.

Well the sport is going to be easier to not watch when one team has a 12/5 mph advantage over the others. I get that means the others have to step up and build better engines, but it's just not happening.

Where's Mr. Manifesto? Is he still on a roll?

J.C. the Freaking Yankees suck! Adding to that, the Giants season is over before the leaves change color...

You might as well watch F1 tomorrow because if the Chiefs do not fix their defense ASAP, you will be joining me on the couch comes January....

Spoiler!

"And that's all I have to say about that."

Love's you!
