Well, there's normally a NASCAR thread, but as there are a few of us who are into anything with engines that go fast (including King of the Hammers?.....watched a lap last weekend, very cool), I figured I'd start a general racing thread.

Thank god Indycar and F1 are back!

Very cool little piece of info from Indycar....

One of the rookies has diabetes. He controls it with an implanted blood sugar monitor. The data from the monitor is displayed on his steering wheel. VERY neat use of technology. If his sugar gets low, he takes a drink.

F-1 has reinstituted the 107% rule....

Sorry HRT, you're too damned slow, get off the track! (the 107% rule is that if your time in quals is 107% or more of the polesitter, you're out of the race)
