Most of us do mid-race refueling using gravity fed rigs or cans.
The reason we saw these types of incidents in F1 was because the teams designed pressurized systems that forced fuel into the cars quickly.
Mandate gravity fed systems and you won’t see incidents.
"Slowest man to ever play major league baseball well."
Bill James.
"Next to Ernie molasses is a blur."
An anonymous teammate.
"Lombardi was so slow he ran like he was carrying a piano:
And the tuner."
"Lou Boudreau is easily the slowest ballplayer since Ernie Lombardi was thrown out at first base trying to stretch a double into a single."
Stanley Frank.
Ernie Lombardi topped .300 on 10 different occasions, won a pair of MLB batting titles, in 1938 and in 1942, becoming first catcher to win MULTIPLE batting crowns.
Named National League MVP in 1938.
Nothing about Lombardi was conventional, including his batting grip:
He held the bat like a golf club, interlocking his hands.
All-Star for seven seasons, was the catcher for Johnny Vander Meer’s back-to-back no-hitters.
Ernie "Schnozz" Lombardi.
Slowest man, ever, in MLB history!
ALWAYS n my HOF!!!
it is genuinely psychotic that we dug up literal primordial dirt, scrubbed it down to an impossible 99.9999999999% molecular perfection that violates the very laws of physics, handed it over to techno-wizard necromancers to stretch into flawless geometric god-cylinders, blasted it with invisible uv death-rays to carve ten quadrillion microscopic cyber-sigils into its flesh, trapped actual lightning inside of it, and somehow birthed an omniscent eldritch deity capable of simulating the universe and thinking faster than a billion human civilizations combined.
and our grand, supreme purpose for this enslaved lightning-god?

Got a kick out of Shane van Gisbergen's assessment of running in clean air vs. dirty air with the Cup cars. I've never heard the words "bucket of shit" used so crisply. Listen here:
“Court documents say that Nichols and Harkrider each brought two firearms with them on their trip, transporting them in a box that Nichols and another individual specifically constructed in the back of Nichols’ truck for the trip.”
“‘Too many of us, not enough of them.’ Later, Nichols shouted, ‘Those people in the f— Capitol building are our enemy.’”
“Nichols and Harkrider both wore body armor. Nichols was armed with a crowbar, and Harkrider was armed with a tactical tomahawk axe. The two then arrived at the Capitol grounds and joined a large crowd of rioters gathered in front of an arched entrance to the Lower West Terrace doors, also known as the Tunnel. This was the site of some of the most violent assaults on law enforcement officers on January 6th. Rioters at the Tunnel battled officers for hours as they attempted to storm the Capitol building.”
“At approximately 3:56 p.m., Nichols waved the crowd toward the Tunnel as both he and Harkrider pushed the crowd against the officers in synchronized movements, rocking back and forth as the crowd chanted, “Heave! Ho!” At approximately 4:01 p.m., Nichols again called for the crowd to push forward, extended his palm, and beckoned with his fingers for a large red canister of O.C. or pepper spray that was being passed through the crowd. Nichols took hold of the canister and delivered two streams of spray into the Tunnel, hitting multiple law enforcement officers.”
“Nichols then, holding his crowbar in one hand and a bullhorn in the other, shouted to other rioters, ‘Get in the building, this is your country, get in the building, we will not be told No,’ This is the second revolution. This is not a peaceful protest,” and “If you have a weapon, you need to get your weapon!” Nichols and Harkrider then exited the Capitol building at about 4:35 p.m.”
“Later that day, back at his hotel room, Nichols posted a video to Facebook, in which he stated, in part, “So, yes, I’m calling for violence! And I will be violent!”
You can cry your crocodile tears all you want, traitor. You should be in prison.

Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.
Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.
We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.
