I assume that's about this:
Interesting. I saw the video yesterday but I did not check closely which account it was posted under. But no, in this particular case, I'm talking about this: http://www.nasarallysport.com/main/rallycoverage?e=2013-Sandblast-Rally It's where the cynical are supposed to say "Oh, blogging? Welcome to 2003." and the fanbois say "OMG, from my phone?!!!!!" *grin* Cheers, Anders (But actually, my hope is that the organizers say "Oh, I can offload the event updates to a managed list of other people and all that info is tracked for me? Thanks, one less thing on my plate."  Grassroots rally. It's what I think about. |

More like 1990, it's like a mailing list that you go to instead of being sent to you

Can't we go further? It's like 1985, when you could dial in to a BBS and leave a message. And see ascii art. SOMETIMES IN COLOR!

I'm not sure if it's codified in the R-A rules, or the event supps, or what, but 99% there's a penalty levied for hitting the chicanes. At Colorado it was something like 1 minute per cone. Allegedly, after Pastrana mowed a bunch down in 2009, he said "I'm going to make back that time, or crash out trying", and SRTUSA said "nu-uh" and he didn't race the next day.  KF7RWG

That was going to be my follow up question. Who carried that hay bale back the quarter mile to rebuild the chicane?

Well, the one he was riding didn't have dual-density FIA spec padding. That will save Segway.
