  3. Q & A of NASCAR

    in NASCAR

    Posted

    Thanks for your opinions there, Garrett. It seems odd that the announcement of the fine made big news, but details of the reason behind it trickled out slowly. From what I can see it was to do with the position of the car body relative to the frame exceeding tolerances. I'm sure everything is designed on computers nowadays, so they must have known if the car was illegal.

    I hate it when race results get changed due to slight technical infringements. It happens once in a while in F1. There's been a lot of scrutiny of Red Bull's front wing this season, with several other teams questioning the amount of flexibility. The FIA (governing body) have now introduced stricter testing, and Red Bull have changed their wing design, despite claiming it was legal all along. There was another case a few years ago when Honda got excluded for running their cars too light. The cars are weighed without fuel, but they argued that their cars had to keep a residual amount in the tank that should be included in calculations.

    I suppose this type of sport is now so technical, thousanths of a second make a difference, so everyone pushes the limits as far as they can. Inevitably, lines will get crossed occassionally. Much as I dislike it, I don't think this is the last time this sort of thing will happen.

    Uh....hmm... I shouldn't know this one, but I'll take a shot at it.

    Was it "The Complete Guide to Disco Dancing" by Karen Lustgarten?

    Brian, if that was a guess, today's question is what are this week's lottery numbers :).

    We got it layin' around the break room here. MaryAnne likes to bust a move once in while.

    Sounds like an ideal candidate for YouTube - it could go viral.

    Daney - that is indeed the book. I had that link ready to post, and you beat me to it. Well done to everyone else who got it right.

    A nice easy one today:

    Q. In 'One Armed Bandits', how much is the cover charge at the Boars Nest, and why is it charged?.

    Nice!

    I'd like to see ya try Mason Dixon's Firebird. Khee! 8-)

    Complete with gaffer tape?.

    It would be tricky as they only converted very limited numbers, so good reference photos are hard to find. Also it would mean doing an interior - something I've managed to avoid so far :). You never know though - watch this space.
