Our champ days are done with 1 4 run session
if you run 1 you work 2, and if you work 1 you run 2, so theres effectively a "morning" or Afternoon run group with no bleed over
the downside is the Workers for group 2 ( run group 1) stay for the junior karts. We are seeing 200 plus people at events so this is what we did.

I wish on practice days we spread out the runs. I feel like running 10 back to back isnt indicative of real conditions. cause my tires are always over hot by run 6-9.

To me, that line was supposed to establish to the viewer that Han is a bullshit artist just saying impressive-sounding words to dazzle Obi-Wan and Luke into buying his services. Han is supposed to be this fast-talking, self-centered smuggler on the run who only looks out for himself (and maybe Chewie...). It makes sense that he would bullshit about his ship, it makes sense that he'd shoot Greedo before he has a chance to do anything to put Han in more danger.

To make the kessel run quote literal (and making Greedo shoot first), takes away a part of what makes Han's arc special. Han coming back to help the Rebels is special because its exactly the thing the old Han would never do. Truth-telling, only-shooting-in-self-defense, always-been-a-good-guy Han is way less interesting, at least in my opinion.

Agree. Disney shouldn't have "explained" that one.

Only know 3 or 4 people who are attending, so maybe I'll be able to make some new friends.

Been over 2 years since I've been on the course. Was thinking about giving it one more try to relight that fire but alas, the desire to go quickly subside.



Perhaps someday in the future I'll go again.

While scrolling through FB, I saw a vid of a guy cleaning, repaint and refinishing some BMW head cover. It looks cool and interested of doing it to my car... but I remembered what kind of engine I have in my car. I just laugh and moved a long lol

Welp, if you really want something to spiff up, that will show, just pop this puppy off and work on it -

speaking of BMW.

as you may know I recently did the Porsche driving exp. afterwards I heard about a BMW one so I decided to look it up online.

all of us know about the stereotype of BMW drivers being d-bags. I've always wondered why it is. am I just meeting the wrong people, is it just people that live around me or is it all in my head. so while I still can't put my finger on it everything became apparent looking at the website for their driving exp. there's something really "douchy" about the whole thing. I wish I could figure it out but I just can't. I wonder if this is a trickle up or down thing or is it possible that 2 douches(company & customer) just found each other?

life's great questions.
