it's crazy how my views on drag racing have changed, like nothing will ever impress me about a car going in a straight line for 660 or 1320' ever again. To me it's racing for people that are too dumb or unskilled to participate in an actual race, which lasts minutes instead of seconds and involves braking and turning

fite me

I feel (like many things in life) to really have value from it is more of a participatory thing honestly.

I used be all about it, now I could not care less. When you watch the racecraft and skill needed to win a race that lasts 40+ minutes like motogp, drag racing just doesn't compare

I have felt this about Nascar since forever. I don't think I've ever went to a drag strip to watch cars. It's always been to meet people that are coming down.

I am all for street light to street light, but organized drag racing, especially when you get to those alcohol funny car things are absolutely retarded.

No thanks.

The last 5 years I dropped off completely from sports too. Maybe watch super bowl. Maybe.

I am so glad to not be a conformist.

I'd still watch UFC if I had PPV, but that's about it.

Aside from college football and the playoffs I really have no use for sports.

UFC doesn't really appeal to me, no reason I guess, I just haven't ever followed it.

I enjoy watching sports, but the cost to spectate has become ridiculous across the board.

Agree on the NASCAR, has become “Too Corpo and Political”.

Drag Racing is fun to participate but rather dull to watch unless it’s local events

It’s fun to go to races and it’s fun to do. I also enjoy rad cars. Really the only racing I can watch it WRC. Anything else bores me mainly because everything else just goes on for fucking ever. F1? Hours, nascar? Fucking hours. Give me a 3-9 second race and I’m in.

That shit was so fake. Only good part of that entire show was ol Tony saying he had to change his oil before racing on the Chicago one and then when rich Christensen ate shit on a motorcycle

 

[Mr_Roboto]

The best meme from that was Now Rich, do you agree on that last race that the bike outperformed you

Blurr of a week. Left for ND last thursday. Drove home drill sat sunday. Went to hockey game saturday night. Left sunday night after drill back to DC. Got home late last night about midnight.

Something like 4k miles all said and done. Spent like almost 50 hours in pickup in less than a week since I slept both ways in it.

Cmooooooon Dec 2023! I cannot wait to be done with the military.

Back to normal grind now. In gym now workin tomorrow. Slept all day today. Huge thanks to coworker for covering today instead of me doing tower service today.

Poor trucks got over 40k on it now. Its been DC to ND at least 10 times.

The 30 gal tank and hair over 20 mpg at 75 makes that thing a great long hauler. I wish it was a loaded F150 but its got enough options. At least its got phone app auto start, Nav, and XM my 19 had neither of those.

Naples hotel booked. Sheeeeeit

Woke up to 3” of light snow on the ground this morning and a little more still falling. Furnace is getting replaced today - wife will have to deal with that fun as I’ll be in the office.

Going to Barrett Jackson on Friday. Leaving the checkbook at home.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Morning.
I’ve got 1.5-2” here already. Way more than expected.
