The Motorsport Lab

Getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari may seem like a fantasy to some—but it's a perfectly attainable adrenaline fix at The Motorsport Lab. The Lab's vehicular experts allow clients to take a Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, or other rare and exotic automobile out for a once-in-a-lifetime spin.

After explaining the vehicle features and the proper safety protocols, staff members turn over the keys. Drivers can develop a feel for the automobile's speed and cat-like agility while guiding it around a controlled autocross course for several laps. For a truly immersive experience, The Motorsport Lab occasionally rents out its sports cars for weekend-long escapes that let clients travel in style and become the object of envy at any drive-through dry cleaner.

Where/Who? I'm coming up on needing to do that.

Nothing wrong with having a kid at this age. My wife and I are 36 and about to have a second kid (daughter) in about 3-4 weeks....

Congrats!

Hello, I'm back again for this annual cancer ride. Since the last time I rode in 2013, my friend has put his Stage 3 cancer into remission and is cancer free as I type this! He had been diagnosed with Stage 2a-3b Lung Cancer after a Pancoast Tumor about the size of a doughnut was found in his lungs.

Our family friend who put his prostate cancer into remission, unfortunately has had it come back.....In fact, he was planning to come to Columbus from Atlanta to do the ride with me, but he will not be able to do that. Most of the time its hard for any of us to do anything, except pray for someone to get better.....

First, THANK YOU to everyone who donated in the past, I greatly appreciate every dollar you donated!

Well, I'm trying to take to raise even more money this year and every little bit helps me get one step further to that goal. I am riding again in an event called Pelotonia (pelotonia.org). I rode this event back in 2010 with my wife for the first time, and it was one of the most humbling and amazing experiences my wife and I had ever been apart of. I also rode in 2013 and many of you helped me with donations to raise a total of $2,275!!

Each rider is tasked with raising money for cancer research, all of the money raised is used to directly support cancer research conducted at the Comprehensive Cancer Center—James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC—James) at The Ohio State University. This link also talks more about how the money is used --> http://pelotonia.org/about/money/

The last time I rode, they had raised a total of $43 million dollars in 5 year, and that number jumped to $82 million in just one year.

I have pledged to ride 100 miles this year from Columbus to Gambier, OH and my goal is to raise $1,800......

At the end of the day, I feel like this is the least I can do to try and help my friend battle something that most of us have been affected by in our lifetimes, and we truly can't imagine what he is going through right now.

If you can't donate financially, please just say a prayer for a really great guy who is on his way to a hopeful speedy recovery.

Thanks for reading.

Here's the rest of the event highlights for Strongman

Tanak and his co-driver, Raigo Molder, were fortunately able to escape from their Ford Fiesta after a reported suspension failure led to the car rolling down a hill and into a reservoir Friday morning. Both individuals were able to escape and swim to safety, while the car sank to the lake’s bottom.

Fortunately, they were able to fish the Fiesta out and get back to racing the next day.

In honor of Pat Willis announcing his retirement.....dude is a BEAST!

Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended from Top Gear by the BBC following an alleged dispute with a producer. The show will not be broadcast this Sunday, and it puts the future of the hugely popular series in doubt.

The BBC has posted the following on their site:

Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson suspended by the BBC "following a fracas" with a producer

And The Independent has this statement from the BBC:

Following a fracas with a BBC producer Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended pending an investigation. No one else has been suspended. Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday. The BBC will be making no further comment at this time.

Clarkson has always been controversial in the public eye. Last year the BBC basically put him on probation following a video that surfaced where he allegedly said the n-word, which he later apologized for. The recent Argentina episode also had him under fire for the license plate on his car, though that was not the doing of him or Top Gear.

More as we have it.

AMEN!! ^^

I find it funny when people complain about slow parts. You're not very analytical and deep thinkers, are you? Honestly, I find things are getting pretty suspenseful and give me a lot of emotional anxiety. A lot of open ends that could go just about anywhere, and as mentioned, the foreshadowing of the wife's husband was interesting. I too would like to know what happened to the gun. I honestly don't think things are going to work out for them in Alexandria. Like Carl said, everyone there is weak. I really hope they take over the town, like Rick suggested.

:thumbup:

Seems like there was a little bit of foreshadowing with the husband of the chick that cut Rick's hair....chilling on the porch in the dark smoking a cig....something will be happening with that dude for sure.....

Also curious what happened to the gun in the blender....these episodes can't be action packed every single episode, there has to be some development of characters and story lines. Even though you may not realize it, each slow scene builds a character more and more for what future decisions will be made during high tense situations....one of the reasons I enjoy this show.....

Ouch!

If you want to have in home done, you could look for a local Speech Pathologist that works at any of the local schools. Alot of them look for home tutoring gigs to help supplement income. All Speech Path's have gone through Secondary Education degree as well as a Masters in Speech Path before they can get hired at most Public/Private Schools.

My mom is a retired Speech Path from Toledo Public Schools. I also have a friend who is one in the Pickerington School Systems right now that I could ask for you. Just let me know.
