Re: Vroom

Rainy conditions always tend to mix things up and today's qualifying held to form. The race tomorrow should be fun to watch, we've got frontrunners at the back who will need to fight their way through the grid, and midfield guys starting up front who will be trying to defend those spots.

Re: Vroom

That is correct. It looks like several drivers will end up taking grid place penalties (including Leclerc) so it should be fun watching him try to work his way up through the field. The rest of the year this track is a public road surrounding a park, so there aren't a lot of large runoff areas or gr...

As if there isn't enough going on, don't forget about Canada this weekend. My brother and I have talked about getting up there to see a grand prix weekend in person. One of these years.

Re: Vroom

Yeah, it's funny. The actual race is sometimes almost a footnote to the practice sessions, qualifying, and all of the teamwork that makes up the entire race weekend. But the race is where the points get scored. After both Ferraris dropped out, most of the drama was gone since they're the only other ...

Re: Vroom

Uz5ShozORIA Qualifying for Baku is on Saturday at 10am. I highly suggest watching it, or at least setting the DVR. It's more than simply sending cars out one by one and seeing who can set the fastest time, there's some competition and drama involved with the way they have it organized. Plus it help...

Re: Vroom

YES My brother got me into F1 a few years ago. I was hanging at his place one time and he made me sit and watch qualifying with him. I was like "why would you care about watching that" but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. We now have a fantasy league with a few of our cousins a...

Re: Threading In The Game 5/24 @SFG

I've never liked that Pederson fella. I turned the game off after his 2nd homer.

Pretty encouraging that this team has the ability to fight their way back into games. All the best Mets seasons I can remember have always had that feel.

My boy just got shot #1. It's the most grown-up thing he's done all year, aside from shotgunning that beer last July.

Same.

Seems like my kids have lockdown drills often. They actually have red 5-gallon buckets in every classroom in case some kid has to use the bathroom during a lockdown. It's nuts.

At least they haven't mandated bulletproof backpacks yet.
