Stoned Festivus For The Rest of Us

Oh...minor toe...okay...it's all coming together now.

 

Mean a slight draft, slipstream, toe. Basically I was on my 2nd lap out and just getting a whiff of the bubble from the car in front. The bubble is a pocket of air. The lead car pushes through the air creating the pocket behind so, when you're behind that car, Your car isn't pushing through the air anymore. This is called drafting and basically the car behind is faster than the car in front. Of course that all changes the moment you pull out from behind it, as your car then cops all the air as well.

There's a couple of things you can do.

1. Have a car behind you, literally bump and push you past the lead car, or

2. you can try side drafting which is sketchy. A side draft involves me getting that run, then putting the nose of my car, right up near the rear quarter panel. This dumps all of the air coming from my front end, directly onto their rear spoiler which then slows them down and I'm able to slingshot by. Of course, when you're trying to do this, if they move on you by an inch you can start a big crash so you need to trust the guys you're running around to keep a straight line. It's annoying because you know that's what they're doing to you, yet you cannot really defend it.

 

Breakfast at work.

Like a wog boy here.

Roast vege, chicken salad.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ranch Dressing?

 

on my next time around i will ive to sleepy soon.

 

What's a "wog boy"? Looks delicious.

 

Nah, like a garlic Mayo. I'm on a diet, so, no ranch.

 

A wog boy is a wog like from, Greece or Macedonia. A wog. Olive skin. That goes to school and in his lunch box, he pulls out a blanket and sits the whole meal in front of him from salads to meats etc. While the rest of the school eats a sandwich.

 

Oh I see... So all those guys who did all the laps setting the fast times were doing fun races so they get their laps up etc. So yes they were well and truly in race mode.

 

Lol. Have some friends trying to get setup help. I'm giving them bum steers.

What's your grill tape?
Really it's 50%
"umm I'm on 63%"
Lol, they'll blow their engines if they follow that advice.
