I'm just glad the fun police didn't make any phone calls to have us shut down for not living in fear

Shoot in Blacklick at the Burroak shelter

Location for the pictures is changing, will update when a les packed location is found

I have a Logitec G920 I got off Coaster. The only thing I don't like is the brake pedal, I had to make some adjustments in the game to account for it. I wanted to go with Fanatec but just can't afford it right now. I'm still trying to get out of the Rookie class right now. I've been just racing as clean as I can, but not hanging back in the pack. I want to get some good experience along the way.

Quality is based on your rig and how high you can crank graphics up. I would say so far it's on par with a console. The physics and racing is where I think it's better. So far I've had a blast with it, very challenging for sure.

Not really. There's a lot out there on different builds. You can probably get by with a $500 build if the specs are right.

Since we can't race our full-size cars still for some unknown reason anybody iRace? I built a computer for it last weekend and started. I'm going to do mostly dirt oval, paved oval, and offroad I think. So far I'm learning more each time I fire it up but I haven't entered any official races yet. I want to be able to get around the track more than a few laps without piling the car up.

I actually looked up the citation/arrest thing later and saw they can be used interchangeably. I had no idea and learned something new. Now, this is also something that a lot of people know, hence why the people I talked to that were physically there said he wasn't arrested. Now, as for manipulation by the media, I still stand by that statement and here's why. It all comes down to how you word something, I deal with this every day as I write different stories and social media posts. The use of a single word will completely change context and how something is viewed, trust me, learned that lesson. So, from a journalistic standpoint what is going to get more clicks/views during the COVID-19 craze? A story about a person who opened up a business and was "cited" or someone who opened up a business and was "arrested". As you pointed out, both terms are correct, but someone being "arrested" has more pop to it. This is something I see all the time in modern shit journalism, the use of different words to drive the narrative ever so slightly in a different way, the use of a different image or video, or trying to be the first to break a story without all the facts. This Plandemic video is another example, lots of pop, but how true is it really? Should you trust someone who just got out of the county hotel? My experience tells me that everyone that's been on the wrong side of the law has a compelling story as to why they shouldn't have been locked up...

You're ALMOST right.... If you would have dug just a little deeper you would have seen the notes... 05/02/2020 CITED 05/02/2020 ARREST DATE/TIME (Arrest does not necessarily mean physical arrest,but may just be the issuance of a citation.) I'm guessing he was CITED for the violation.

It wasn't KillKare, it was Edgewater. That whole deal is pretty jacked up, they got the shaft from the government totally and it shows why you shouldn't trust the media at all. Now, let me explain why I have made this statement so there is zero confusion. 1. The track manager went to his local officials and told them what he was going to do and explained what precautions they were going to take. The problem is, he never got it in writing, so when things went sideways and the Dirty 30 crash happened they burnt him. 2. The media put a story out that the track manager was arrested during the event and even went as far as to cite charges against him. This is 100% false and was totally fabricated by the media. I talked with a couple of people that were there, it flat never happened, period. So, keep this in mind when you buy into every word the media has to say on both sides of the COVID-19 argument. We as a country are being manipulated from all sides.

Mine is based around the whole damn situation. My life has been completely fucked up over this whole deal, my profession is having the life choked out of it like a chick with a daddy kink and self-esteem issues.

I've been trying to look at this from a logical level. We know there is a virus, it makes people sick, and some of those people die. Here's what I don't understand. So all of the sudden our food supply chain is in "grave danger" because these meat processing plants are about to shut down, countless animals have to be killed and not used, just end of the world type stuff. Why are these meat proccessing plants seeing these massive spikes in case numbers when we aren't seeing this with places that are open to the public like a grocery store or home improvement story? One would think that since these stores are staffed by people who have been exposed to so many other people they would be ravaged by COVID and forced to shut down. I've only seen a couple of stories on the news where grocery store workers habe come down with it. Based on general logic you would think that if you worked at a job where you were exposed to a large amount of people from the general public you would be at a higher risk. It's almost like I've seen this situation before...

Another vote for Webber. I use their charcoal grill, mom has one of their gas units and it has had zero issues over 6 years of heavy use.

Track owners are raising bloody hell behind the scenes with the elected officials over this. Tracks in the south have opened up for testing with 50 car limits and social distancing without any issues. Personally, I would feel much safer at a race versus going to the store. Open air venue and plenty of room for people to stay away from me. I've been doing everything I can to practice social distancing at the store when I have to go, however, most people don't.

You are the first person I've seen that I have direct contact get paid. I know of another CR member that couldn't even get on the site to file, it just crashed all the time. He was told to try at midnight or in the early morning hours becauase that's when the site worked. Two other people I know have jumped through every hoop and never got paid. Said there was some type of error or issue on the state's side and they can never reach anybody to get it sorted out. I've seen other people all posting similar stories in replies to status on social media. It's a shitshow and I feel terrible for all those getting sucked into this. My wife and I are watching the OH, MI, and CA state sites to see if our companies are putting layoff notices up. I know mine is coming, just not sure when the axe is going to fall. Maybe I'll go to truck driving school.

Good luck with the unemployment man. Everything I'm seeing from people I know is that there are no payments going out at all and it's just a big cluster fuck.

If I go it will be for official work business and that means I can't sell my shots. Besides, I'll let Mike the track photog do that, he's an amazing person and needs that money. There are tracks that have already opened for testing. Darlington had 40 or 50 cars yesterday. It really isn't that hard to run a race with some social distancing and such. Jessie Adams did it out in California a month ago. People just need to follow rules and outsiders need to mind their business.

With all the shouting going on from every side this is something that is really being overlooked. I'm a pretty strong person but I've hit my breaking point seeing everything going on around me in the industry and to my friends. I guess the only way to describe it is shell shock. Good people in the industry that had no reason to think they're job would be at risk, boom screwed. I've had freelancers call me crying because there's no work, nobody is hiring, can't even get a non-industry professional job. It's so scary to think everything you've ever worked for is about to go away and nobody even cares because it's for the greater good. By the time your suffering begins there's no hope or help.

Things are beginning to look worse for the entertainment and sports industries. We're starting to hear the idea being floated that there will be no sports and no large gatherings until FALL of 2021. This is what's being floated behind closed doors right now and hasn't been fully vetted to be released to the public. From what I'm being told there are "negotiations" going on between people in the industry and the government on this. Companies have stopped paying for advertising and halted all sponsorship checks. So all of your automotive magazines are going to die. All of them, Hot Rod, Motortrend, everything... To be 100% honest with what I know based on the automotive industry right now this will effectively kill the car hobby, period. Even the biggest of the big companies are starting to hit the breaking point right now. It will finish closing race tracks and there won't be any sanctioning bodies left. I know the NHRA has cut pretty much everybody they can. NASCAR is going to be the first big one to fall. There are multiple tracks that have already said the won't open in 2020 at all. Right now Norwalk has THREE paid people on its staff, all at reduced pay, and Bader himself isn't even drawing a check. With all that being said, anybody hiring? I'm going to be out of work I would say in 2-3 months.

not going to lie, I've seen some people fuck up RC stuff, but I've never seen that before. I don't think it's fixable, it looks like the case was damaged and they tried some repair that didn't go as planned

This is another one of the shows that I helped to develop and write, but for this one, I actually have to go on camera.

I saw someone share a news story from a non-accredited outlet that Chris Fowler said College Football won't happen this fall. I didn't share that because I looked around and couldn't see it on any real websites so take that for what it's worth. Then you have stuff like this https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/04/14/governor-newsom-mass-gatherings-not-in-the-cards-when-california-lockdown-is-lifted/

A local hobby shop might be able to. Post a picture and I might be able to walk you through how to do it on your own depending on what's going on.

I brush off the "everything is fine people" just like the sky is falling people, neither group have a clue. Mire ire is equal for both groups and I judge people based on which group they follow. Elected officials are going to do what will keep them in office, that's always been the case and will continue to be the case. I read an article in Forbes that talked about how companies are trying to spread their supply chain out more to mitigate future disruptions. China doesn't play fair so it's hard to compete with how they operate, that was explained in the article as well.

I'd be interested to see what medical professionals have to say about these temporary hospitals and navy ships not getting used. From a project manager's standpoint if certain hospitals are overwhelmed why didn't the medical professionals move some of the load to these other locations to free up resources? The PPE shortage is another interesting issue that shows a global problem. The very country we use for cheap manufacturing of these products was ground zero for the shit show. Maybe that needs to be looked at because we all know this situation is going to happen again.
