Quote from Töki (HUN) :

I don't know what Nico thought... Lewis in the leader car chose his line and indicated he wouldn't leave him space, yet Nico kept his nose there. That was just stupid.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Great race. I think this is my favorite F1 season in years.

And this ^

I'd forgotten that F1 was back because of IndyCar excitement . I regret missing the race this morning.

Will Power driving like his head's cut off in the final corner and straight. Shoves Wilson out of the way in the final corner, then runs Bourdais into the wall just before the finish line and as a result beat them both to the line.

Meanwhile, Conway's car was crawling on the inside (trying to finish) and a corner worker was waving a yellow flag as they drove by.

Will be disappointed in IndyCar officials if there's not at least a penalty for Power. Could be one for Bourdais as well due to the yellow flag being waived.

Problems for the #3 early at Sonoma with Power in the lead.. Will this finally be Power's year?

In b4 have to lift at talladega

This would be awesome, but probably not happening.

Quote from Mustangman759 :

What idiots, the more mechanical grip is relied upon the less aero wash there is.

You should work for NASCAR. (and so should a lot of other people) You got further than their entire R&D center did... They had an entire R&D center and a budget to boot.

You did better with nothing and for free.

It appears that interest in this league is inadequate. It will not occur.

Quote from UncleBenny :

Testing for next year going on at Michigan today, I'm sure adding MORE aero bits to the cars is going to solve all the dirty air problems they already have. Seriously, how stupid are the people making these decisions?

As expected, low downforce is better. Is NASCAR smart enough to figure that out? God, I hope so. The truth is doing this to NASCAR right now:

@PMD:

I don't like the 3 part qualification. Group qualifying is fine, but should be avoided on plate tracks. Elsewhere it's fine if it's just a group session of about a half hour. I think it would be best if they'd just do the local short track style of running groups of 5-10 at a time to reduce weather variations and quicken the process.

Quote from PMD9409 :

It makes perfectly fine sense. I actually enjoy watching qualifying now. Just because teams perform retarded strategies doesn't make the idea bad.

Eh, to each his own opinion I guess . I find it extremely boring

Nearly caution free truck series race today at Michigan Really fun race to watch.

Pole speed for Sunday's race by Jeff Gordon was over 206 MPH . 32 teams ran an official qualifying lap of record over 200 MPH

Sunday's Qualifying Results: http://racing-reference.info/getqualify/2014-23/W

In other qualifying news, the truck series qualifying session #3 was a joke. Only one driver actually set a lap in the final qualifying session and defaulted to receive the pole position. The group deal on ovals just doesn't make any sense.

For some reason I thought that the race was on Saturday (today)

Sunday I cannot attend

Quote from sinbad :

But the answer to that question depends entirely on what happened before he does that. An over-hit pass by the other team, heading slowly down the side of the penalty area. Can the goalkeeper use his feet to bring the ball inside the penalty area and then pick it up? Of course he can.

But a back-pass? No. But it's not because of him using his feet outside the area. Nor can he put it down and then pick it up again, but this too is not because of him going outside and then back in to the penalty area.

Yes, I've since cleared this up with another official and the High School soccer rulebook. It seems the "laws" and Ohio "rules" are in agreement here.

The ball was a cross to the corner by the attacking team that was not ran onto.

Thanks for the clarification

I ran across this. Then, I understood why an American Formula 1 team has never worked

Good news for IndyCar

I enjoyed my time at the track last Sunday, but I was sitting in the less than ideal carousel corner. Good to keep an eye on pit strategy, but not much else. We got there too late to get a better place to sit.

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Even if Tony hit the throttle that doesn't prove intent. Tony is experienced and could've throttled up in hopes of pivoting the car away from the guy on track. It's similar to how they spin the crap out of the wheels so they can get out of the tight pit boxes in my opinion.

Yes, but spinning the tires like that is good at a stopped or very low speed. At a decent speed it seems to be almost reckless.

I'm sure there was plenty of room on the inside of the race track for Tony to proceed. He'd look a lot less guilty if he hadn't come so close to start with.

Point is that Tony Stewart has quite a temper, and I assure you that he wasn't just harmlessly passing by trying at all costs to avoid him.

Quote from Flame CZE :

He's participating in the [TC] CityDriving Gumball 3000 race, so I'm not surprised he's driven such distance

No, not just participating... winning

Quote from dekojester :

As far as I recall, the OHSAA requires (or at least strongly prefers) 3-man teams for Varsity level, then two for all lower levels.

You should contact your local rules interpreter for the OHSAA interpretation - it could be different than the rest of the world (as the OHSAA AND NFHS are that way)

Yes, the OHSAA does recommend 3 man teams, but as a first year official I'm booked solid the entire season. 3 man teams in this area would increase demand for officials while lowering pay (schools don't make money on soccer teams in this area). Basically, it's just not possible with the number of officials we have available.

NFHS and OHSAA are almost completely in agreement outside of safety regulation (concussions, ect.) I'm curious as to what the "laws" say anyways (even if I still don't know the OHSAA "rules" )

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

Hello! As I have started a new hobby, totally got me into this, as no PC to play LFS and I have a real life too etc etc etc...

Anyway, is there anyone also found that frisbee golf is attractive? If someone is, post some pictures of your local track ( if you have even one ) ( I'll post when I go to my local track next time, taking some photos)

I have always liked to throw something though and now I found my favorite sports. ( In Middle-Finland, there is some kind of booming about this sport. Almost everyone knows at least something what kind of sport it is, and I am not only one, heh )

Anyway, nice exercising and enjoyable if played well

EDIT: is someone even a professional player? that would be cool in my opinion

I've never played the sport in full, but I have played some strange knock off variations of the game in casual fun around the house. It's enjoyable, but not something I would make a big habit of doing like I do tennis

Quick question: Can a goalkeeper control the ball with their feet outside of the penalty area and bring it into the penalty area and handle the ball? I'm a new official, and I believe that the answer to this question is yes.

A game I was doing a few weeks back involved a play like this and I allowed play to continue. I think the laws allow this, but neither my partner nor I (we run a two man diagonal system [two whistles] of officiating here in high school matches, and it is terrible ) knew for sure. We both believed it legal.

Quote from Kid222 :

Race begins at 18:30 GMT (20 min. from the time of this post).

Not sure if commentary, but it should be fun.

I will be headed to Mid-Ohio tomorrow morning Forecast looks decent right now

I think my girlfriend and I will sit in the "Keyhole" (Turn 2) if we sit down there early enough That's probably the best passing opportunity on the track. I've never attended a road course race, but I think it's going to be pretty fun

What a race
