Or do they do edibles? I don't know anymore! I'm so out of touch with these young moderns, their groovy lingo, and their hippity hoppity music

More weight, less aero. Downforce not needed.

People threw crap on the track which got sucked up, damaging the fan. It got banned pretty quickly.
I had a Cox Chaparral 1/24 scale slot car when I was about 12, I think. There was a place called Tom Thumb raceway and they had 5 tracks. I don't remember how much they charged for track time but I rarely had enough money to stay on very long.

I think I first tried it around 13 or 14, already smoking cigarettes by then. I discovered alcohol a few years later, which was a bad thing.
Quit cigarettes when I was 33. Smoking them is the one thing I wish I had never done. They don't add anything to your life, don't get you high, don't give you lots of stories to tell, just a total negative.

I used to go to Ascot Park, a 1/2 mile dirt oval, and watch the sprint cars. We would sometimes stand in turn 1 and get pelted by balls of sticky mud.

I took way too many drugs, way too young. That stopped when I got serious about other things and people.

Never did that. I did go to Long Beach once the day before the GP and saw some practice and watched an Indy Lights race, That was amazing. They also had a celebrity race, I think Toyota Celicas, and Greg LeMond was in it as was Queen Latifa.

Times GP was at Riverside, and if you sat in the bleachers in the esses, you could see nearly the whole track. That was an awesome track.

Ascot was cool. They had all types of racing, from demo and figure 8, to sprint and champ car, and all in between. JC Agajanian owned, which says everything.

I went to Supercross several times but the USGP at Carlsbad was my favorite motorcycle race.
