The only thing I melt down about is changing tires. But then again there's something slightly sketchy about putting 60psi through a tire to make it seat on a bent rim and using your foot in place of a tire cage.

Get a loving tire cage, ive heard of a lot more psi to stretch tires with no issues though.

I wish my dad melted down about me crashing my kart when I was 13 and made me drag it back to the van by myself.

My dad would melt down over everything and just blame me for random poo poo as a kid, the unusual part would've been him showing an interest in what I'm doing.

That is the kind of character-building fathering technique that stops you from growing into 1986 Osella Driver Allen Berg.

Max? Is.. is that you?

E: i joke of course and im sorry, im rather cynical about such things and take fun out of these things without realising it as my old man was also a loving heavy handed wanker whome I both love and hate at the same time. He has asbestosis and I have to care for him when its my round, I wish he would just loving die, I really hope he doesnt die.

It used to bother me a shitload as a kid and teen but I really haven't cared since getting pissed over it ain't going to change poo poo. I do think growing up like that tends to give you a better sense of humour and perspective on things. Sorry to hear about your dad though man.

Pretty hosed for Saturday's kart race. All my pre-season running so far has been on "near-corded" tires, I'm about a second and a half off the midfield pace, and my engine is still down on power. Going to need to Button this one.

All people who spend money on expensive watches are tasteless filth so all watch manufacturers cater to tasteless filth and therefore must advertise their tasteless filth when they sponsor drivers. It's a very sad state of affairs in timekeeping. I suppose it's appropriate for F1 but I'm sorry it has to overflow into Indycar.

I have the used tires but they switched from Mojos to Vegas this year so there's like an additional half second gap that wasn't there last year.

Will they even let you use the old tires? Mine runs mandatory tires, either way sooomebody'll throw you a bone if your tires are that close. Can't fix your engine though.

The club is pretty relax about that poo poo, I've just got to wait until people start peeling off Vegas which will probably be after this weekend.

To be honest the best lap in testing so far was probably a half second off where I need to be and that was probably down to tires, I'm just panicking because my last practice was super lovely because the tires were in a real poo poo state.

The engine situation is a whole combination of factors but suffice to say I paid less for this engine than the cost a basic rebuild.
