[NZ Racer] NZ Racer - Taupo 1000 International offroad race is all go: “The great thing about this massive forest as that we can plot a course that is instantly recognisable as a Taupo track, but presents teams with a new challenge that will test them at every turn. From the big all—out forest straights to the narrow skid tracks where tree branches swat the side of your car to gnarly pumice firebreaks, the Taupo has something to challenge every driver.”

[Speed:Sport:Life] Speed:Sport:Life » Racer Boy: E.T. Bracket Drag Racing, or How to ...: You will probably get about two or three practice runs.  After you’re done with all three, you will write down your dial-in on your windshield and side window with shoe polish.  If you ran three runs: 15.01, 14.90, and 14.75 seconds, respectively, I would recommend dialing-in at 14.60.  That gives you a little comfort room in case the track starts to get faster as the evening wears on.  For your first race you may go up against a car that is dialed-in at 13.90, for instance.  The two of you will stage and the lights on your side of the tree will drop 0.70 seconds prior to your competition.  You leave first and he has to play catch-up.  If either one of you leaves the starting line too early you will earn a red light and lose the race.  If either one of you goes faster than your dial-ins, that is called a “break out” and you will lose the race.  If you each leave the line clean and stay within your brackets then it is the first one across the line who will be the winner.  If the win light is on your side, celebrate, pick up your timing slip (you may use that information to change your dial-in before the next round) and head back to the staging lanes for your next race.  If the win light is on the other guy’s (or gal’s) side, head to the bathrooms to get some toilet paper and clean the shoe polish off your windshield, because you are heading home.  Yes, this is what it feels like to be a loser.  Drag racing will definitely teach you that.

[caveat] caveat :: MICHAEL BRYANT, THE GUY WHO BANNED 'PIT BULLS' IN ...: When he resigned in June, the story was that he would head up an agency devoted to increasing investment in Toronto but none of us were buying the hype at the time about it's being a great new opportunity for the little dick. Hell, it's only halfway through the current legislative mandate and given Bryant's love for media attention it seems pretty unlikely that he would make such a move on his own.

[The Truth About Cars] Editorial: The Last Silver Arrow | The Truth About Cars: Where else will you see a birdcage Maserati next to a McLaren F1 GT-LM (ex BMW works car), or watch Gilles Villeneuve’s Ferrari race Mario Andretti’s JPS livery car, or see a bright orange 930 racer spew three foot flames on overrun? All in the same hour?

[Joe Saward's Grand Prix Blog] Oh dear”¦ Here comes trouble « Joe Saward's Grand Prix Blog: Fernando Alonso’s brief resurgence late last season began with a win in the Singapore night race.  The race also saw Ferrari make some serious pit lane errors.  Mainly, though, what is remembered is the quick-thinking pit lane strategy that allowed Alonso to duck into the pits after then teammate Nelson Piquet crashed, but before the safety car came out.  Certainly not the only driver to crash (Felipe Massa spun, Adrian Sutil crashed and brought out another safety car, Kimi Raikkonen crashed), Piquet was widely regarded to have helped Alonso win the race.  Idle speculation ensued as to whether the Renault team requested that Piquet crash, but it was widely believed that they would not actually make that order, nor would a driver willingly crash into a wall.  Also, as Joe Saward (the first News Editor of Bernie Eccelstone’s F1 magazine) mentioned on his blog, “In all probability Piquet just screwed up - he has done that a lot this year.” [...]

[Wheels] Walter Cronkite, the Racecar Driver - Wheels Blog - NYTimes.com: In viewing the old video above from Lime Rock and Monaco, one can easily tell the difference between a standard news report and an event in which Cronkite had placed personal, emotional interest. This serves to emphasize, to me, the importance of hiring reporters from wide and varied backgrounds and deep education in life experiences beyond academic study.

[James Allen on F1 - The official website] Pit lane applauds Barrichello win | James Allen on F1 - The ...: I was mainly wondering if the mentality at Ferrari was such that since they have lost any chances for either championship this year, and because of the unfortunate accident, better to let the experienced test driver to use the races to do tests for next year’s car instead of hiring a freelancer who could bring some extra points but who would not be able to help with developing the 2010 car as much as Badoer can.
