Stenhouse? Nah. It's Ricky Roundhouse now.
At least they called it this morning instead of doing 2hrs or rain delay coverage during the pouring rain and calling it at 4:30 east. Now I just gotta avoid spoilers all day at work tomorrow and annoy my wife by prioritizing watching the race before I leave to go play hockey.

I am loyal to Racing Electronics over-the-ear, regardless of whether you have a scanner. Most models have noise reduction ratings around 20, but I think you can't necessarily say that's a reduction of 20 dB because of how dB measures relative intensity and is not an absolute unit. I suspect that should keep you safely below the OSHA level for a 3-hour race in most circumstances, but it is making me wonder what race officials who are around pit road for a very long day use.

Other than (obviously) field of vision, noise is a reason why sitting higher up in the grandstands is usually much better. The difference at bowl-shaped short tracks and Pocono will be very obvious if you walk down to the bottom of the bleachers on the way to the facilities when most of the field is passing by under green.

I use musicians' earplugs at concerts, most sports, and other loud indoor events, which have an NRR more like 13-15. That's probably not sufficient for OSHA exposure levels at any racetrack, or a career in venues, but the advantage is that it doesn't really distort sound (unless you're singing along, then it's in your head). I think I've only heard ringing that night/the next morning after a concert once or twice when using them, and it's possible to get a bad seal inserting them.

SRX was pretty rad, but once again the weather this year brought an early end to what was shaping up to be a really fun race.

SRX is always fun. Weather also is giving us a 2nd race at Stafford this week.

Pretty boring race yesterday and really not worth working from home for it, but nice to see Ty Gibbs run out of the Lord's grace in his He Gets Us. car not long after running out of talent into the backside of Bowman.

I'm not sure why Danica Patrick is involved in F1 media at all. There's a bunch of women on the F1 teams that have more relevant experience than "was an indycar binwoman for a little bit."

Also :lol: gently caress you, whoever wanted to make the series streaming-only.

Assuming CW can't use talent contracted by NBC and fox and everyone stays intact at those two networks, I wonder who they go with.

Give me a booth of AB, Andy Petree, and Wally Dallenbach with Ralph Sheheen, Jim Noble, and Matt Yocum on put road.

I finally watched it. The 1 wreck probably not suspension worthy. But Tracy is clearly a menace out there week after week.

Pretty funny though, early in the broadcast they talk him up with losing 50lb to be competitive in SRX, but then maybe it's his last race in the series anyway.

He's been a poo poo show since he did the whole thing he's caused so many wrecks. I finished the race last night and he just didn't lift when he should have.

Ken Schrader said 'i won't race with him on the track anymore '.

I can see why they told him you're done the series is paying for these cars when he's wrecking on average 1 a race its time to say you're done.
