Comment on What do you think of NASCAR adding a double yellow line to Daytona to remind the drivers of the boundries? by Jeff C

I think it’s a great idea IF AND ONLY IF NASCAR stays consistent with their rule calling. Don’t cry foul one lap and then say nothing the next…..be consistent.

Just an opinion as always.

ICE nailed it. As someone who's seen NASCAR up close and personal, many of the people in decision making positions with NASCAR have their heads stuck squarely up their anal openings.

Funny, I was watching practice last night and D. Waltrip made that same comment about the double yellow and which tracks it was up for interpretation on. I think he was being sarcastic, but it was sure funny.

Comment on What is the difference between Formula One and Indy car racing? by pixelputa

The cars might look alike but there is a huge difference. On speed, Indy cars are faster but this is more due to the type of track that they race on. You can go flat out better on an oval track than a track with turns and chicanes. And especially now that F1 uses V8s instead of the V10s. On an oval track you make very few gear changes while on a specially designed F1 track as more as 3,000 gear changes. On the design, F1 cars a built with a focus on aerodynamic efficiency. And each car has a specific aero specification for each circuit. The FIA have limited development on very few areas of the car. So that's were geniuses like Adrian Newey and Rory Byrne work their magic. On tracks like Monaco cars use more downforce. In F1, teams have to construct their own chassis while in IRL they are allowed to buy it. F1 is also the riches with Team Mclaren-Mercedes being the highest spender for 2005. An F1, team employs about 500 or more people for engine development, aero and etc. And in terms of popularity, F1 is reportedly the second most watched sporting event next to the World Cup.

Comment on How do professional tennis players pick the balls which they are going to use for their serve? by John L

Tennis professionals generally look at the outer fuzz and the pressure of the ball. They want a ball that is not fuzzing up because it is more aerodynamic and will fly through the air faster. They also want to see which ball has the most pressure or is the "hardest" as these balls will bounce higher and faster and for the server this is an advantage.

The real difference is that the formula 1 looks for the improvement and be the best racing of the earth and the Indy racing looks for the show and spectacle

The rule is that you can’t go over the line to pass..
If you accidentally do you may redeem yourself, and avoid
any penalty if you immediately ‘un-pass’ the car you passed..
If you’re forced bellow the line by a car you are trying to pass,
he gets the penalty..
The rule is vague by design, because as with most of it’s rules,
NASCAR reserves the right to make a judgment call..
Example..
A few years back at Talladega Jr was in the bottom line, Kenseth
was in the top line.. The bottom line was moving faster, and Jr was
going bye Matt when he (Matt) darted left, and Jr got two tires over the line trying to avoid him, and continued on..
Because the camera angle didn’t show Matt swerve the fans yelled
favoritism..
NASCAR saw the incident, but didn’t levy penalties for either driver because it’s normal at ‘dega for a car to move two, or three feet to the right, or left for no reason at all..
NASCAR was right, but some fans were livid, because the picture on TV didn’t show Matt’s car at all..
Different tracks have different types of lines, it’s usually their choice, except for ‘dega, and Daytona where they must have only yellow lines..

ICE is right. The problem is the rule isn't enforced consistently enough. It doesn't matter if NASCAR paints 10 lines if the enforcement doesn't get better.

Comment on What will a golf course be like on the Sunday before Labor Day? by googie

You might be fine just the way you are. The play at a golf course usually diminishes by the time you are scheduled to have your ceremony. Why not check with the club manager for his input. Then there is little chance for any interference.
