Many NASCAR rules are because of him. the time smokey yunick figured out fuel in the fuel line didnt count against total fuel volume in the car. the rule was very specific about gas tanks but not fuel lines. so ol’ smokey coiled up a hundred feet of fuel line under his seat and got a couple gallons of fuel on board.

Normal ovals they don't slow down enough to make it worth it and superspeedways with restrictor plates I'm not even sure they do more than let off the throttle a little, if that yummycheese posted:the time smokey yunick figured out fuel in the fuel line didnt count against total fuel volume in the car. the rule was very specific about gas tanks but not fuel lines. so ol’ smokey coiled up a hundred feet of fuel line under his seat and got a couple gallons of fuel on board. did smokey also do the basketball in the gas tank?

Ablative posted:gently caress, there was a Grand Tour episode where they went to a track that had a close-to-90-degree bank, but I can't for the life of me remember where it was or what it was called. The Spanish one? 78 degrees at the top, but more like 45 in the middle. 45 degrees is a lot steeper than it sounds when you are standing there. e: oops, well beaten. Looks like there was another page!

Granted even though Shibuya can get crowded it's still an actual designed space rather than the backalleys of Itaewon.

This seems like the NASCAR equivalent of the Brabham BT46 "fan car" that got immediately banned and is still cool "What if we put a fan in the car for max downforce!"

Seems it wasn't the first time it had been tried... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPIi_72bDX4 Video as linked is a little over four laps left. Initially the commentators think the leader has slowed down, but later realise what happened. Here's a link for a little under a lap left if you're impatient.

Bearer of low hanging fruit Cody's Lab has a new video where he plays with HF and does not follow any of the rules https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uv-ih1GkJk Dumps water into concentrated acid, wears what are likely nitrile gloves instead of vinyl or neoprene, intentionally splashing it around in his containment dish to make vapor clouds, drops things into the acid then fishes them back out by hand, uses drinking straws as chopsticks
