Dear COTA and WEC, Playing music on the loud speaker while these beautiful cars make beautiful sounds is a CHOICE…. We’ve got many decades ahead of us where race cars make almost no noise. Let’s not ruin what we have now with “Every Day is a Winding Road” 🫠

Very thoughtful article from @davemccowen "bigger cars do more damage to the environment, pose a greater risk to other road users and put more strain on road infrastructure than smaller machines. If only us blokes were big enough to choose smaller cars."

What’s the opposite of champagne football? Today’s Matilda’s game was chaotic, confusing, and a dangerous ride. It got us down the road, though I’m sure there will be a hangover later. It’s Little Fat Lamb football. #Matildas #Olympic2024 @newscomauHQ

Gotta lay some blame for the @shanevg97 Chicago wreck on a poor pitstop by @KauligRacing - he shouldn’t come into the pits first and leave in fifth, ahead of a peanut driving out of his depth… someone needs a kick in the #saucynuggs #NASCARChicago #NASCAR
