Who you rootin for?
The cubs are trying but i don't think they have a cold drink in hells chance of actually winning. Mind you im not a huge baseball fan and have never actually watched a game. Im just keeping up with the cubs cause ive always claimed to be a cubs fan to piss off the cardinals fans.

Following a Indians win, Lessen's car develops a bad case of 100kgs of ballast....
In other news, thank you for everyone that showed up yesterday. We even had a visitor from Down Under, gracing us with that pleasant 'straulian sound. Cardahs came back, but we needed Lessen there, since he was on a controller and I am no practitioner of the Satanistic arts necessary to use one effectively.
I think, moving forward, we'll always do an interlude with a different car between bits. It was fun to throw the Formula B before going back to the Lotus. I'll have something planned for next week as well.
Also, I'm going to start making things a bit less hectic, so that we can cover the whole program at least once.
Hope you all enjoyed it and to see you all back next week.
Who ended up with the fastest time? Anyone went under 55?

Nice! That's a great time.
This should be a nice send off from competitive racing to the Lotus. The Glen suits it.
All that will be left will be the Demolition Derby at the Nordschleife...

This gave me the chills, thought I share it with you guys since everyone seems to be an F1 fan.

Thanks for that Chad, hadn't seen that one before. Nothing like six decades of F1 memories come flooding back.
One very quick little shot in the film brought back one of my favorite laps of all time, check this out:

Yeah, once you don the helmet, things change. Points are less important. Money is less important. The next race is less important. There is only the guy in front of you and the FACT that you are better than him.

Gilles was an amazing driver, my next favorite after Jim Clark. Being Canadian, and the fact that Gilles was born a few hours down the road, how could he not be! One of the coolest things was that he won his first GP here in '78, which at the time was known as Circuit Notre Dame Island. I only got to see him once, in 1980 at Montreal, and tried my best to get to meet him but didn't even get close. I will never forget the moment I heard of his tragic death, I was on a fishing trip and we were in the lodge where I saw the news on tv. My buddies were trying to figure out wtf was going on as I sat there in tears.
At least you don't see my glassy eyes in this pic, it was emotional. At the Ferrari museum in Modena.

Thank you!
That is exactly what I feel like and the reason why, when people say F1 (or any other racing series) is boring because there's no doubt who's going to win, I start doubting their love of motorsports (and the power of their brain).
It's not about the win, it's about the racing, the fight for position, the knowledge that you're better, faster, and you're going to have that spot, come hell or high water.
It doesn't matter if the fight is for the win or for P21, it's racing and it's worth it.
That's a nice picture. Is that Mrs. Aero in the background?
I imagine you've read the Donaldson biography on Gilles?
And how do you feel about his son? I loved Gilles (he died the year I started following F1, at a tender age of 5, and I could tell he was a special one), but I absolutely detest Jacques. I had no problem with him while he was racing, but now he comes across as a spoiled brat, who's only job in life is to complain and sound bitter. Every time I see his name on the news, he's saying something I think is stupid/wrong/uncalled for/all of the above.

Yes, that's Mrs. Aero, lol. That day was a me day, first a visit to the Ducati factory and museum in Bologna, then off to Modena to the Ferrari museum, no tours at the factory, just VIP's and customers. Mrs. Aero thoroughly enjoyed the day and loved the Ferrari museum.
Yea, great book and a good read! I kinda feel the same way about Jacques, I don't understand either why he always has to say such negative things all the time.

Haha....had to look up Fendi but I figured it was fashion! Mrs. Aero is awesome when it comes to race stuff, she spent many years at the track watching me race. On our honeymoon in '89, we flew to California and went on an organized motorcycle tour to see the MotoGP race at Laguna Seca with 11 other guys on bikes! They were all asking if she had a sister, lol.

I don't know if you're kidding or not, but I can help but chuckle at the prospect.

Special thank you to Zii and Alex for a very fun season of old school racing. Hopefully I was able to push you guys once in a while, but more important earn a bit of trust in the corners. Clean racing is so fun, even if you're getting passed 
.
Hopefully my teammate and I can reunite in the future, and our #1 driver can get a full 4 nights in. I feel kinda like the Kimi this month; I was supposed to add points to Flip's, not bring home the majority. It's been a pleasure to be on a team with you Flip. I enjoyed getting to know you a little better and look forward to doing it again.
Thanks to all racers that participated, and special acknowledgment to Jaxon for hosting the one night. You're all excellent racers as well as men. I thoroughly enjoyed the season.
