Man, if ChiPs ever has a second life, you'd be set for life!


It would be sort of a backhanded compliment, though, when I'm the major addition and they call the new show "CHiPs and Dip."

Don't worry. I'd always pictured you as the Dumb, not the Dumberer.

You are a god, Rick. I've been waiting for that to come around ever since I read the article in R&T. Unfortunately, I don't tend to pay attention to TV listings.

Awesome Rick. Some day I want to head over to La Sarthe and see that race. Hopefully the ACO will stop catering to the diesel powered cars, and some of the bigger names will get back to the top class (LMP1). Audi has had little competition since they altered the rules for the diesels, at least until the Puegeots entered the fray. I would like to see them get back to the production based race cars like the GT1's in the late 90's and the Silhouette cars of the late 70's in the top classes too.

I'm still angry about the 1992 rule change disallowing variable-length intake runners for rotary engines.

Don't forget, they let the Mazdas run alot less weight than the 4 stroke powered cars.

But penalized their displacement by a factor of 3, rather than the 2x which would expected when compensating for the 2-stroke like function of the rotary.

Mazda was at a disadvantage when they won in 1991, and that disadvantage was only widened more the next year.
