That's a difference that you have in your head and have yet to see REAL proof of on the track. So you and I won't discuss Max anymore.

I don't take anything away from Max. He's a great driver. But he's not THAT good. IMHO, any of the 6 to 8 top drivers in F1 (given a handful of races, could drive the RB just as well as Max does. And BTW, Albon is rapidly losing ground to Sainz as he gets settled in with the new team and new...

Here is what George Russell had to say about Monaco as a race event. I pretty much agree with him. I might even make it a regular qualifying on Saturday and a some kind of handicapped qualifying on Sunday. Maybe do a combined time from 2 sessions where one is handicapped with added weight...

We all knew going in that Monaco is 85% Saturday qualifying and 15% Sunday race to just hold on to your position. I said that the mandatory 2 pit stops would NOT lead to any more on track passes (except for lapping slower cars) and maybe add a pass or 2 in pit lane (but who cares). The point is...

It's the only time Barber is on the NASA schedule, so I had no choice. I hope we can do homestead together sometime later in the year. I've been there as a photographer for an SCCA National weekend in January, but never as a driver.

F1 can be the best racing or the worst, it depends on what you want to see. The race on Sunday at Monaco can be a real snoozer. But qualifying today was fabulous! Especially the top 5... OK, the top 6 as Hadjar, a rookie, in a Racing Bull, only 0.25 behind Verstappen in the Red Bull!!! That...

I'm working on it. I've been scoping out some sunset views out on the Sanibel Causeway with the Supra on the beach in front. Of course my nocturnal black color will need a flash to keep it from being totally in the shadows with the bright sun behind it.

There has been a lot of people here saying they would like to do a meet up. So lets set a date, time & location. It's getting warm out, so I'd like to do it soon. I'm in Cape Coral with a new Supra and I'll go almost anywhere from Tampa to Sebring for a get together. I drive to Fort DeSoto...

I'm not going to be trying to set any records... not even keeping a lap time. I had fun in the Miata just trying to get comfortable with the layout. I do hope there is a professional photographer there. I have this shot hanging on the wall in our house.

I just decided to go back to Barber Motorsports Park for my free track day. I raced SCCA in the midwest for nearly 20 years. I moved to Florida in 2020 and didn't drive anything on track for dozen yeras while I played with sailboats and aquariums. Then I got a Miata and started doing autoX and a...

I've worked corners and broken down at corners (while racing) and even photographed at corners (after I retired from racing) with race cars speeding by like those guys at Monaco. It's really not that big a deal. But the fact that they didn't even flinch is kind of impressive. 85% of the race at...

Seriously, lets face it, they're all whiny while driving! If Max leaves Red Bull, it will be to leave F1. There is no way he could tolerate driving around in the mid-pack for Aston Martin. Newey will help them in time, and Honda MAY help, but it will take 2 to 3 years. And Max would go...

I don't see that happening for 2026. Why would George leave while his team is improving and RB is proving that nobody but Max can drive their beast of a car? Both teams and drivers need to see how good their new 2026 (new rules) cars will be first. I don't see George leaving Mercedes yet...

I think some of you guys need to get real. In F1, almost all of them complain at the moment something goes wrong. Or they whine when something happens to them. They are all superb drivers, and yes, some are better than others, but how good the car is makes a HUGE difference. RB still has a good...

OK, I'm curious, who is it that you think won't be driving together after this season? George & Kimi or Lando & Oscar? And why do you think that's the case. Personally, I think all 4 of them see their team/car has a serious chance to be the best on the grid next season.

OK, I just found this thread, and I'm not only a big F1 fan and IndyCar fan, but I raced sports cars wheel to wheel in the SCCA for over 15 years and I made it to the SCCA Runoffs back when you had to qualify. I agree that Max is one of, if not the best F1 driver currently... but I'm not a fan...

No. It's 3M reflective red striping, 1/4" wide.

Give me time, they'll get better!

They just opened the Sanibel Causeway to public use of the beaches. This causeway was totally destroyed by Hurricane Ian back in late September of 2023 and it's been 19 months to get it back to being open for public use (the road has been in use since about a month after Ian). It's still far...
