the Taco Bell that Dixie & Dario got mugged at is being shut down


-

Chilton is back for the road & streets, plus the 500

I like how that's a bigger news item than Chilton returning with Carlin.

To be fair, I was about to post that I was surprised he's doing Indy.

One of Rahal's liveries;



And Pagenaud;

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Yeah, wondered wgat all the vuse is about.

I'm amazed that they didn't banned that vuse brand from showing, as it has tobacco in it

Electronic cigarettes & vaping aren't banned from any type of promotion in the USA - it's normal to see television ads currently for some of these brands.

McLaren had RJR / BAT e-cig brands on Alonso's 500 car and the F1 car (where allowed) last year

Blu has sponsored Rahal in 2013, and RCR last year

Bourdais was also sponsored by one in 2014 or 2015

It doesn't have tobacco in, just nicotine.

Nicotine is a stimulant, no more dangerous in moderately similar quantities than coffee, the danger from cigarettes comes from all the other shit, not the nicotine which is merely classed as an addictive stimulant, it's not even classed as a carcinogen.

hehe who knew that the tobacco industry would return to motorsports

Nasr rumored to test with Carlin this week

Both Nasr and Sette Camara will be present for Carlin.

David Malsher believes that this will be the lineup for the season (share of seat to be decided), with Conor Daly drving the #59 when Chilton isn't.

Speaking of Daly, this is what he will be driving when Chilton is in the #59.

testing stream

The #14 has been painted in Copenhagen colours (but with no sponsors).

-----------

Some 2021 chattel courtesy of TK and PT; Johnson is being buttered up by SPAM for a few races at road courses, and Helio is out of contract at the end of the year. TK said that if someone came to Helio with a full-time ride, he would seriously consider leaving Penske to do it. He was also apparently very keen to try and wrangle some races for Foyt this year alongside TK.

OnBoard looking through the screen. The helmet-cam is a bit low (I think it's a GoPro mounted below the visor) but gives some idea of how clear the visibility through the screen should be.

It's a shame we lose some vision from the left hand side on the first camera position.
