NASCAR Champions by Winston Cup point method

Vermonts own Ken Squire is in seriously declining health. In my opinion the best NASCAR announcer ever, hell he was great even announcing at his own little Barre, VT track Thunder Road. https://x.com/dgodfathermoody/status/1723858945528189072?s=61&t=PNZdVNqW2yOjYkD0NaRyaQ

And now a body in Plainfield, on and on this shit goes. PLAINFIELD, Vt. (WCAX) - Vermont State Police are investigating a suspicious death in Plainfield Friday. They say hunters in the woods near Gore Road found a body around 4:30 p.m. and called police. The victim’s body was sent to the medical examiner’s office to determine cause and manner of death and identity. As of now, no one is in custody.

Yet another. WASHINGTON — Vermont State Police is investigating a suspicious death in the town of Washington, Vermont. Investigators said hunters were in the woods along Poor Farm Road around 2 p.m. on Wednesday when they discovered a body and called police.

Hamilton and Leclerc are disqualified from the USGP due to excessively worn rear skid blocks. This will arise from a rear ride height setting that is too low. BUT why would they end up with too low of a rear ride height? 🧵 It could be any combination of the following. 1. The rear suspension was too soft 2. The rear suspension was too low The rear ride height is your main "adjustment dial" for putting the rear ride height in the optimal window for downforce generation. This setting varies depending on the nature of the circuit (high speed corners vs low speed corners) A lower rear ride height is also good for reducing drag on a given car. 5mm of RRH can translate to a few kph - which is serious! Was this malicious? No. I don't think so They were trying to set up the car as best as they possibly could, but they just ended up slightly too low on the rear. They only had a SINGLE free practice session to setup the car, and may not have done a proper high fuel run. Keep in mind the skid wear limit is 1mm. In order to wear away 1mm of the legality skid, you need to be more than 1mm too low. But the skid wear is a very cut-and-dry legality issue, just like fuel samples etc.

We had Cuban Sandwich flavored Lays in VT this past summer, they were excellent.

I was doing a bad wheelie on the Kawasaki and fell off, that carb cover landed on the side of my foot. I didn’t break anything but was on crutches for 2 weeks. Good power from that rotary valve but it made for a wide case.
