    You can see that the OM has a historical record of activity following the ingestion of the product from the first photograph. Clearly she is calculating the impact of its consumption on both time and distance as well as the air quality index for the next 48 hours.

    Probably the same reason they built a bypass around the Carousel at Sears Point that NASCAR used until 2019.

    The NASCAR guys hated that curve. Story the drivers tell is that it was too slow. Real story it is kinda tight and not banked much so if they mess up they end up in the tire wall. Second problem is the tight 90 to the right after the next strait. Those boys were just never really trained to take right hand corners and the teams didn't used to be able to set up cars to do right turns very well.

    Also the reason they do not run at Laguna Seca..... Too many right turns and they are too incompetent to run the Corkscrew.

    I again plan on submiting an entry at The Heart of Texas Leather Show in Waco,TX. I'm really excited to see what patterns they make for the contest this year. I watched a video by Aaron Heizer of Makers Leather Supply, he didn't come right out and say it but it sounds like it will be a wallet again. And of course I will post some pictures here.

    I may have already posted this... But its my most recent leather work, a custom wallet that my boss ordered from me just after the new year...

    It’s about the same in my neck of the woods too.

    I was out on the bike and then sky started to look a littlle ominous.

    If a thunderstorm pops up I’ll be surprised it took this long as humid as it’s been.

    Back when it was mostly SCCA and AFM racing at sears, Then section between turns 4 and 5 coming into the carousel is off camber and down hill into 6, then a tight 180 in 7. The track is kinda tight, always has been a tad on the narrower side. The last turn, a 180 right, is pretty flat. Not sure what they number it now, at one time it was, 10, then 11, now ??? That space between the track lanes inside that corner is the staging area for the drag strip, also where the Bondurant school had its skid pad.

    The truck has stopped at an indigenous Flying J so that the driver can take a clean hot shower.
