The Daytona 500 stock car race is today and it's the Start of Spring. We know they are still whining about the cold up North and they keep talking about it because they think we care down here. We don't and, hence, the Daytona 500. This is more Americana in a few hours than you can get anywhere else all day (Daytona 500).
An American stock car looks like the original street cars that regular people drive ... except they can hit close to 350 kph ... and they keep it up for about 800 km. In English, these cars go over 200 mph and they do it for 500 miles. It's absolutely brutal endurance. Formula 1 is elegant and incredibly fast but it really doesn't look all that dangerous whereas stock car racing always does. The Daytona 500 is where Dale Earnhardt died.
The Daytona 500 is American as jazz and catching fish with dynamite. It's one of the wildest explosions of speed, color and sound you will ever find and it's all absolutely pointless as it's just a car race, right. Yah, but tell the drivers it's pointless and I doubt they will agree. They don't care if it's pointless, they just want to drive really fast ... plus make one TON of money.
Hat tip to NASCAR for kicking Kurt Busch due to a charge of domestic violence. We don't know who did what and usually no-one ever does with such things but it smells and NASCAR won't put up with it.
Note: as to the cold in the North, previously we were advised it was cause by a Polar Vortex ... but it was still sissy next to the Winter of '77. This year they call the same thing a Siberian Freeze to get in an inane sling at Putin ... and it's still a sissy next to '77. When people start walking across the Ohio River again ... then I will believe it's cold. Yes, I was up there in '77 so I say these modern Northerners are a bunch of wussballs. In fact, not only was I up there, we decided that would be a peach of a time to drive up into Canada to ski. Yah, these Northerners today ... such sissies.
Note: the trip into Canada did not, in retrospect, resolve into such an incredibly good idea, particularly given we did it in a Volkswagen Minibus. Never, ever drive a Volkswagen in the Winter, particularly when the temperature is around -25F. These vehicles have no heaters. They have things that look like heaters ... but no heat comes out of them.
So, come on down to the Daytona 500 and find out what it's like living with people who don't have to shovel stuff off the driveway before you can drive to the market for your bread, milk and toilet paper to survive the oncoming blizzard.
Question: did not someone not tell these buzzards it gets cold and snows in the North??
