The Official Status Update Thread: Part 23

Yeah, dealing with the fallout from changing out the entire phone system on the weekend.. lots of fun issues... all day long..

it never goes as smoothly as they think it should. I would be amazed it it is working correctly now.

The real reason F1 left indy is they wanted 30 million per race to bring the race to indy. and the only money the track got was a percentage of the souvenirs, and concessions. The FIA, F1 sanctioning body, got all the TV, Track advertising. It was just a bad deal for the speedway.

well, that would explain it. I figured the refund-a-polooza that resulted in the Michelin tire debacle..

I'm thinking about getting some of these in blue and red instead of painting my dueling tree.

I'd be curious to see if they work.

My first concern would be if the adhesive is enough to stick to cold steel.

My second concern would be splatter ripping it off entirely.

no the FIA made tire company pay for that mess. If they wanted to be allowed to keep selling tires they had to pay.

I work for the museum on vintage cars and get special info some times

 

[Westside]

alright we are looking good now. hopefully a long green flag run.

 

[Westside]

ok I am just going to stop hoping that they can make a long green flag run.

Actually, it's pretty good now. The biggest mess was the call center... that, and since we upgraded to unity connection, there were some things that didn't transfer properly..

That's good. I am not a phone guy so "unity connection" doesn't mean anything too me.

Sounds like HandK has experience

I heard a few stories like that. congrats on making a few bucks.

 

[Westside]

I am surprised they didn't shorten the race. to 400 miles or something.

Thanks, it worked out well for me.. was a father's day gift to my dad (the trip to the race) I didn't have a lot of money at the time. I ended up using the money to buy him a sears gift card

 

[Westside]

so far the 500 has had better new commercials than the super bowl.

Sounds like HandK has experience

I've stuck target-type stickers like Shoot-n-Sees to steel before and it always tears off after a hit. Maybe if the sticker was larger and had more vinyl in it it would stay in place and allow for multiple hits.
