Sure! The laptops were part of our prototype offsite datalink setup for live VOD uploads that wouldn’t interfere with main stream. We ran signal aggregation software on them (to combine multiple data connections), routed that into a central router, and powered it all via an external battery.

Since WiFi and cellular were garbage, due to the venue being in a sunbaked gym at the bottom of a hill, we adapted our setup after a power outage knocked out the venue’s main data line. Had to the keep the stream alive and maintain sponsor obligations.

At one point, we were combining a Starlink, a mobile hotspot, and two phones just for a stable signal.

Then came the real kicker: the laptops started throttling data from overheat sitting in direct sunlight. We couldn’t find an awning or tarp to throw over it. And according to some napkin math, the shade wouldn’t hit for another 2–3 hours.

So I found two 10x12in pieces of white cardboard.

@henrythe9ths AI Guide

[Dan from Spotted Model: Cars & Tech @spotted_model]

Been processing my first run at @TeslaCorsa at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway yesterday. Here are my top 10 takeaways:

1. If you are at all interested in pushing a car closer to its limits, you should do this at least once. I now think of our Teslas as those horses who live on the dude ranch and do the same depressing trail every day at 2 miles an hour with people who haven’t been on a horse in decades and eat too much sugar if you know what I mean. I actually think they love to get out and drive and corner fast once in a while.

2. It’s mind-blowing that a Tesla can bolt around the track as fast as it can and after a five or six minute cool down, it’s back to a daily driver. Almost like it has two personalities.

3. There’s a lot more to racing than just point and pedal. There’s a ton of physics involved. It’s constant thinking and calculating.

4. Tire technology is crazy. When you think about the ability to keep a 5000 pound car on a tight apex at 60 miles an hour and unless you floor the pedal, you’re not gonna lose grip, you know it comes from decades of trial and error from the tire manufacturers.

5. We were racing between gas car heats. Mostly Corvettes, Camaros and Mustang, but people raced a little bit of everything. There is passion in almost every car brand.

6. Walking around the staging area, it’s clear that this is a possibly addictive sport. You can see a lot of money being poured into running around a track for 20 minutes every couple hours. For the most part, the Tesla people just showed up with their cars (although Anthony Quatrale was a godsend because he showed up with a trailer and every tool he owned and we borrowed a ton of stuff like tools to get the tow plug off). In general it looks like gas cars need a lot more maintenance and fluids on track day than we needed.

7. As always, Tesla people at events are relaxed, friendly, helpful, and love to talk about cars. And the OG SoCal Tesla people like @FthePump1 and all the great @UnpluggedTesla peeps are great.

8. I said before that driving like this makes you think and calculate carefully. On the way back to our condo. I was clearly thinking differently about traffic, safety, and driving like I hadn’t before. Almost like being a pilot.

9. And speaking of pilots, my morning instructor was amazing. A lifelong Air Force pilot and flight instructor, he was confident, cool and friendly. Got his number for the future. Googled him later and OMG he’s one of the most famous, highly decorated Colonels I’ve ever seen 😳 When we met he said “I’ve been teaching the best and the brightest to fly Mach 2 my whole life. We can do this.” Such good teacher.

10. Not only does TC help with basic track knowledge and etiquette, it truly boosts confidence while driving. My son even rented a helmet and did a run with me, which is something we’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

5 years ago, never would we have expected to travel as a crew to Asia

And now we’ve successfully helped run the largest tournament in Taiwan

Thank you to all the Taiwanese players, organisers, homies, and everyone in between for the opportunity to make something legendary

It's been exactly 3 years since I hosted Get in the Game 2020. This tournament taught me so much about what it takes to be a TO and how much we, as a community, can accomplish as we doubled the donation goal for charity.
One of our greatest achievements as SoCal Smash imo
