lol... my dude you are making a BIG mistake. A hurt ego is one thing, but don't take a bigger L than you have to. If you want advice, keep the bet small. Your sub 10 sec quarter time means literally nothing on a road course. Ignoring the fact that you've never even been to the ridge before, if the only seat time you have is from a 1 or 2 day school (skip barber/BMW) then going up against people who track religiously is probably not the smartest idea. Your GTR's horsepower will not save you, and you have no idea what you're up against.

Dude. What makes you think losing is the end of the world? Besides that was simply a response that I do know some other type of racing other than drag racing.

In any case, the point I made that he responded to is the my GTR's horsepower is faster than any BMW. That's not going to change, whether I win or not, is it.

Now if anyone local thinks they have a faster BMW for either drag or roll racing, do come out to Bremerton on June 13th, simple as that.

Sorry. I had to mess with him because he sounded like king ding-a-ling with his GTR, picking on lowly M3's. So I basically said my dick is smaller, but I'll pound it around harder.

so MK my friend, i fear a dilemma may be approaching: what will we do next year with 7ewis's name? already tried "L8wis" and wasn't happy...do you think "Lewi8" might be too repetitious?

(my vote on the poll will remain anonymous, of course)

I like the latter...Lewi8! I think it will go well with Verst0ppen.

How have you been, my friend?

hi Philippe. as we know, essential qualities almost unique to truly epic champions are 1) timing, not only on the track and 2) an ability, often against "the common wisdom", to make the correct decision. 7ewis leaving McClaren is a perfect example, as Fernando would probably attest. i know i thought he'd lost his mind at the time...

I'm good. The flu was short lived. I'm just playing a bit of financial defense in preparation of the impending storm!

Kinda true, anybody else think VET would have ZERO championships without Red Bull? I think he kinda started this whole ball rolling down hill. Best driver in dominate car wins the championship almost without fail. Sure hope the new 2022 regulations reverse that trend. Seeing new faces standing on the podium on a regular basis would be very cool.

well i agree but sadly i'm not optimistic about the 'new' regulations. there are too many damn rules and restrictions that always result in the same thing: one team guesses right (remember Braun F1?) and everyone else is screwed because testing is verboten as is meaningful improvement. has to be the stupidest rule since the invention of the wheel: no testing. the ban on testing was allegedly aimed at reducing costs but did the opposite and yet F1 clings to it like demented pitbulls.
were it up to me i'd burn the rule book but keep the tubs (because they prevent people getting killed) then re-issue the 1978 rule book and say 'have at it lads!'. you never know what could happen. why, some screwball might show up at the first race with a six wheeled car...

Yep, just think how many championships Button or Rubens would have if other teams were unable to deploy a double diffuser for years.
