@BPD1776 @KennethCassel I've never been to it either.

When I was at the dealership 'race shop', our guys drove it often and said it was fun.

Lou Gigliotti's G2 Complex opened recently and is in my backyard. I may go check that out soon

@FrankBr05713205 It's life

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

I will keep repeating the message until they grasp it or give up.

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

They went to the City Council Meeting. It didn't go like they wanted. Today:

This needs to be on the ballot!

Ok, you need to get the codes changed. THAT is how you get it on the ballot.

We don't want to change the codes, just stop the data center!

Enjoy your new data center.

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

Gettin' all the locals spun up about the scary data center today.🤣🤣

People are losing their 💩💩

They will not like my answer to her question

It's to be built at the end of my street.

Timeline until it's in operation? >>> 20 years out...

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@thinkingshivers However in a more technical aspect, yes the wheels create drag but covering them with bodywork creates lift like a wing on a plane

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@thinkingshivers The answer's in the name --> Formula

Cooks call them recipes.

Many early street cars were open wheel.

Specific formulas (rules) created back in the day made for a classes of cars for a driver to progress. F4, F3, F2, and F1.

Rules change, but still follows the same concept.

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@thinkingshivers "Formula 1 with covered wheels" has always been prototypes.

Group C, WEC etc.....

@realest49919420 @SkinWade Last time, we went to West End to meet family at Dickeys. Mrs and kids wanted to take it. I tried to talk them out of it.

As we were waiting to leave it was getting late, people out of control, and my wife was not comfy at all.

We get home and she says "Nope! Never again!"

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@realest49919420 @SkinWade It was getting scary the last time I took it years ago.

I wouldn't do it today.

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@realest49919420 @SkinWade I do NOT miss that drive.

That was the whole reason I started taking the train when I worked down that way.

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@TheKanehB Reverse sear.

@FJMoreno14

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@realest49919420 These will all be converted to Data Centers 🤣

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@atflorio Why, that is a Marlboro red coloring......

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@atflorio Agreed, they need to loosen up a bit. They are their own stumbling block.

My experience when I crossed over was the mechanics and powers that be were very different from us IMSA guys.

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@atflorio I think they will try to keep much of the suspension bits too. I can see a redesign of the tub/Aero screen, and an updated bellhousing for hybrid.

They just went to the aluminum wheels to cut costs.

[Roger Abbot @HeyRAbbot]

@atflorio I think that is a fair assessment.

Same with engines too: "The new car will use the old engine. We don't want to introduce 2 new packages at the same time."
