I'll certainly be tuning in come April 26! Join me and watch the mayhem.

 If he has time, he has time.  If not, he doesn't. My recollection is that his car got damaged late last year so there is that work to take care of.

OH! Is the lying ass trying to attract my attention? Oh, he was!
And yes, my car was damaged when the car running behind me failed to see that the car running ahead of me had spun soon enough to get stopped before running into my right rear tire with enough force to break every suspension arm on that corner.

And another significant issue for me is that my GP discovered that my blood pressure was sky-high.
I'm currently taking medication and once my BP has been stabilized at a better level, then he'll sign off on my medical my race license.
I'm still hoping to make the first weekend, but we'll see.

 In the meantime, there was a similarly very old thread where Tommy was trying to suggest that everything's always better with a credit card because of a few percent regained on "cashbacks".
 Well, I just happened to run into this invoice to pay today, and lo and behold, what they're euphemistically calling a "convenience fee" to pay online with a credit card.  Here's the screenshot:

 And yes, you are reading that correctly:  the added fee is a mere +10%.

Ouch!

 Needless to say, I'll be mailing them a check.

Shocking to discover that that the lying ass doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.
