Speed:Sport:Life Radio: When Life Kicks You In The Junk, Curl Into A Ball And Weep Edition
Kasey Kagawa | September 24, 2008
Yes, due to more slow news weeks and…other things beyond our control, we missed last week’s podcast. No worries, we’re back and strong as ever with this week’s offering. On the docket for arraignment this week is some great news from GM (finally) on the Chevrolet Volt and Pontiac G8 GXP, more typically GM bad news about the Pontiac G3, or Chevrolet Aveo if you have eyes, Porsche continues to conquer VW through the Death of Ten-Thousand Cuts technique, pointless idle discussion of Formula 1, and the most technologically advanced method of singeing bread in this week’s Useless Automotive Tchotchke. Share and Enjoy™.
Kickass.

Two weeks was well-worth the wait. AND F1 talk. I think
Mason | September 24, 2008Two weeks was well-worth the wait.
AND F1 talk. I think if Formula1 comes back to the US, it will be on the West Coast. The GP in Montreal is one day’s drive from most of the big cities on the East Coast.
I’d love to see F1 at Laguna Seca, but I wonder if the noise would be an issue there. I was at the MotoGP race there earlier this summer, and it is a great place to watch racing.
Great podcast!
Thanks for the kind words, and also, I do fear
Kasey Kagawa | September 25, 2008Thanks for the kind words, and also, I do fear for Laguna Seca somewhat over the noise issue. It’s technically built on state land, so as long as the state government wants to lend them the land, which I can’t see why they would stop considering how huge it is for the local economy, Laguna Seca is safe.
As a quick aside, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve has the best wall in all of motorsport: the “Welcome to Quebec” wall at the end of the high-speed turn 12/13 chicane. Whoever thought to paint “Welcome to Quebec” on a wall that’s about a foot and a half off the track on one of the trickiest chicanes in the F1 calendar deserves a raise.
One of the big obstacles that any of the West
Mericet | September 26, 2008One of the big obstacles that any of the West Coast tracks (or any track for that matter) face is the cost to get the track up to the safety standards required by the FIA. Still it would be great if Laguna Seca would host a F1 race and to see F1 cars going through the corkscrew.
