For those that don't know - I follow Kobayashi on Facebook and he posts stuff every few days or so and he might get 5 comments if he's lucky, but usually it's me and no one else...
I "like" a lot of his post, but I don't comment.

@BauleyCivic - might need a fill in driver for a Spring Lemons race at NJMP. Easily the best track we've raced on as far as the facility goes. Only pamper. Just throwing that out there in case we decide to run there instead of an alternate event 5+ hours away.

Montoya and friends starting number Juan for the Petite Le Juans. I guess Penske has just Juan car in the race.

I bet Tim is torn. Root for the Caddy or root for Juan

After watching FP3 I wonder if teams are having trouble getting heat into the SS. Lots of cars faster on the soft than the SS. Of course they may have been just working on long runs on the softs since FP2 was a washout.

Track will continue to dry and rubber in but the Mercs look p good on those softs.

Sainz gonna replace Palmer for US GP. Guess that means the return of the torpedo for sure. Maybe Renault figured Sainz can crash just as good as Palmer...

I was hoping Gasly would win the Super Formula title since Mugen hasn't powered the champion during the current formula. It's Jolyon Palmer's fault. =P

And Gasly's car is one good looking race car.

That does look good.

Chuck Leclerc won the F2 title today. I'm anxious to see him in F1. Of course he has to spend a year of mediocrity in Sauber but at least Sauber will have the latest spec Ferrari PU next year.

Interesting day at work so far. Several Harrier take offs, passes, landings. Of particular interest was a training variant of the Harrier (last image). From what I have been able to find only 23 AV-8B Harrier II trainers were built for US use. A few were also built for Italy.

I might have to check it out. I like reading books about fire in the places I've been deployed and this would probably be along similar lines.


Also don't forgets tonight is Bathurst 1000. Have to see if I can find it online somewhere
