Somehow, Hunter Lawrence gets 18th and it seems like he’s in a better place than ever to win SX. Tomac looks so far off its insane, and I don’t think Kenny will capitalize on his own without more Hunter mistakes. This is such a weird season so far. Love a Mookie podium as well. What a trooper after the A1 disintegration of his scapula.

1 corner DNFed like 4 guys because chains kept coming off. McLelland crashed out which sucked to see, I’d love to see Triumph find some success, and it isn’t happening in the US right now. Vialle also doing Vialle shit where he just shows up and wins, despite not really being the fastest guy. Both classes look poised to have great battles for wins though.

It’s Fahrenheit lol. It was a weird day. It was nice in the sun, but the UV index was high, and the wind was gusting like 10-20 most the day, so it was cold in the shade. Hard to find anything that was comfortable.

Also, edit for conversions. It was about 10c out, with the RealFeel of about 4c with the wind

This was actually yesterday, and it was kinda miserable lol. It was like 50 and sunny, but the wind was crazy all day and it felt like it was 40. Today would have been much better, but we didn’t stay for the 3rd day, long drive back home. It was a good time though! This was actually my first one to watch and first time racing one, BMX at least.

BMX race I was at this weekend

Forza just kinda lost its racing appeal, I think. The settings are great, the visuals are great, the vibe is usually good, if a bit corny, but Forza has just turned into a hardware showcase with a good-if-dated physics model there. I don’t think anyone is playing Forza Horizon because the racing is great, and that is kinda the crux of my issue with it.

Which sucks, cause I played the HELL out of FM2, FM3, especially FM4, and they have just kinda coasted since. The most recent Motorsport was supposed to boast some robust online ranked racing, and it was the most measly ranked system in existence, penalties weren’t consistent, and the game has basically died out, even as of 2024.

For the vape pen, I’ve seen people stand it up and hit it with a hair dryer, or if it’s real bad, centrifuge it with your arm after heating. They just do that tho.

Maybe I just don’t know how my system is in context, but it’s cool to see it would comfortably fit in the Extreme RT category. Didn’t peg a 9070xt for that performance spec, but I won’t complain.

Won’t be on Horizon anyway, shit is…bad imo, for a big racing fan. The driving just kinda sucks, and such an emphasis is placed on off-road driving, you’d think it would have any kind of emphasis placed on how it feels and handles. But nope, shit is just…bad. I don’t expect 6 to improve in any meaningful way either, because why would they need to? The hype is insane simply because Japan and Cherry Blossoms.

It’s like the Rick and Morty fandom (and others), I think; they let the satire become a core component of their personality, and it’s stupidly grating to outsiders. It also becomes a mechanism to belittle others or assume superiority.

If income tax was the secret to the Panthers success, then Nashville should be experiencing the same boon, no? It stands to reason a millionaire tax is going to have similar effect on sports performance as no income tax: minimal to none.

Sure as hell ain’t helping for the Predators, or the Titans, or the Grizzlies…

4 and 7

Remains to be seen why Deegan required the penalty there. Docking 3 points and giving the win to Davies punishes the East Coast riders weirdly; Davies got 2nd, but received 25 points because a guy 6 seconds up the track crossed a split section. Stupid penalty.

Tomac seemed to just kinda back it down on a difficult track, but Hunter is getting some momentum. Kenny looked good again finally, just a difficult track I think. Hopefully he can keep this level, and Tomac finds some rhythm again, or Hunter might just start gapping the field.

Tom Vialle has been very impressive in the GPs so far, at least relative to his US performance. Guy has looked like a top 5 dude, which is better than he looked in a weaker US 250 class. Also, the Reisulis’s seem to have come out of nowhere? But I don’t follow MXGP as well as US racing. Triumph strong showing as well, just sucked to see Farres get a bad start moto 2 and have some kind of mechanical issue.

I don’t necessarily think they’re doomed, yeah it’s just the stability and direction. It seemed like something was working, and a change could disrupt it. Bright side being, it’s not like he was around for a long time, so maybe not much to disrupt at this point? Lol

Stroll is going to dump money into this team until it is dragged, kicking and screaming, into the top of the midfield.

Also sucks for Audi, who was looking pretty damn good all things considered. New-ish team, new PU. Looked like the best of the lower teams, imo. Williams isn’t killing it, Aston is Aston. Cadi is brand new. Alpine, Haas, and RaB look well ahead of those teams.
