"That psych outs. Yes. That feels very veer poem to me. That feels very drinking game esque. Lactating at your opponent. Yes. Everybody's done that. Well, I haven't will. Yeah. If I could. That's what I did in beer Pong in college. Yeah, just pumping up. Lactated Adam. Yeah. Players must make shots. Increasingly outlandish and disgusting distractions from their opponents. Eventually this game catches on even though Kubernetes and post safeguards. Reamer to keep the game from my standing around. Is it reamer? It's reamer. Okay. I think it was right over. Okay. Reamer. Okay. I don't know if I was. One who rings. Okay. Basically, they put safeguards in place to keep their game from being over commercialized and the players from becoming overpaid prima donnas. In a major league style twist, the wealthy owner of the basketball team that they play on, the beers, who's played by Ernst borderline, who's an Oscar winning actress, by the way. Who's on the Simpsons? It was Ernest Berg 9. Yeah. Try it. Pocket knife. He dies, and bequeaths cup the team on the condition that the team waits the next championship. He died the way he lived.

And so basically, they have to the next championship or the team reverts back to the gold digging why I play by Jamie McCarthy. Meanwhile, a slimy sleazy businessman played by Robert Vaughn, who's played, I think, almost exclusively in his career slimy, sleazy businessman. Schemes to win the team for himself and kind of maneuver his way into the golden age of life and kind of manipulate her, including putting carpet down, apparently, which is a thing. Yeah.

Well, Finn is lobby. I have used those floor cleaners as floor light buffers. Those are rough. Yeah.

And I believe she was on Baywatch. Okay, thank God. I was gonna ream you if you didn't mention Baywatch. She oversees some kind of make a wish style organization because I guess that makes sense with the plot that she is in charge of sick kids. They like tequila. Who are survival challenge or whatever the hell happened? So that's what I have. I'm accurate to see what you guys think. We'll start with you. So this is my baseball pick, I believe. This film is absolutely amazing. And it wasn't until I rewatched it where I was like, honestly, same thing, you know, Sean said. I thought this was written by Trey Parker and Matt stone. The entire time. And then when I saw it come across that it was whatever his name was, Zucker. Zuckerberg was like, oh, let me just Google this real quick. And I was like, oh, this film makes so much more sense now. So much.

Todd has like a black box of blackmail material that he's one day going to be a great point. Yeah. So basketball. I have to take down Travis. So this will be part of our ongoing series leftovers. This is another left over. This is a sports movie, baseball. Specifically a baseball movie. Yeah. And bad basketball movie. And other things. But yeah, for this one, we are going to talk about our Pinot Grigio. We did Tara alpina an Italian egregium. Very refreshing. Another holiday season. Good, Thanksgiving wine, good life for light meat, light meals, salads, et cetera. It would be a great like $20 budget. And we're also gonna do some white claws. Oh, Christ. I'm sorry. Taylor's playing with it. That was my light meat. Playing with a donut van over there. Taylor's gotten big into skateboarding with his fingers. That's what they call me on the streets.

Stars, Trey Parker, Matt stone, who were the creators of South Park. Was this not written by treston? Matt Matt. And I did none of that either until I rewatched it. I was unaware. They did not write it. I assumed they did. Nope. Interesting. They play coupe and ramer, who were 20 something slackers who in the beginning of the movie they crash a party, their old high school classmates, and they find everybody has grown up preppy, snobby, and weirdly skilled basketball. And so in order to come up with a game that they can actually win, the boys improvise a game called basketball, which is a hybrid of baseball, basketball, horse, and maybe beer Pong. That's kind of some beer Pong sensibility to it too. Distracting people to keep them from making the shot.

"Race off the coast. Six hundred I'd be very supportive of either case that i think it's really a job for supercars and you know they're they're fan marketing teams with assad what sport needs and what the fans want You know from a point of view both options make fenced and we'd be supported by the way is there a major difference between a townsville five hundred cost to compete and let us the sandown five hundred costs to compete very interesting question on on a purely cost bankers Our played probably not because yeah the towns will five hundred runs the same hit kurd as the baptist one thousand now you got you fuel You got extra guys You know and and obviously the baptist one thousand goes over a whole week. Not just a weekend so you know that that's where you get cost there but you've been down. Five hundred was really on the three day event. And you council five hundred three events honestly i. i don't. I don't believe the i think the cost comparison would be very similar You know the factor of your second driver which doesn't probably in execute that much more in costa i. I wouldn't think it would be a huge bearing in my opinion. So the real is a sprint round to injure yeah to five hundred As a bit of a different thing you know. Today's versus three days lightly for less people involved in a big kirk Definitely definitely a savings in the davis trails to sprint versus super five hundred events But yeah. I can't see much between a traditional sandown. Five hundred thousand five hundred of tomato very very logistically design and of course these news about the if one thing cancelled. How much does that. Impact a super team and supercars calendar. Look in time. It's disappointing but let's be honest. I think we all looked at the landscape of international travel environment. And it's not so it's not to say that it wasn't unexpected You know. I think we when when the county was originally built for this year we had the sandown events put on the traditional harm traditional diet of the of the formula one on the vices city formula. One where to come on their traditional date we could just swap out the van down so the one. I'm obviously that that was never gonna happen with the site of of play early this year but we went to san down had a great event And then i believe it was tentatively scheduled in that because we have an additional round later in the year for coming i if forms revised date But you know that. I don't believe that. I ever really officially might lungs to account or if it did We the same certainly where we're relying on it. We were sort of thinking that if it happens. Then that's great because he doesn't like the formula one What yeah i just. wasn't confident in their international travel and as evidence it some you know since been canceled from from that point of view. I don't think it makes much difference other than just the disappointing to not have that event that completely understandable west the war will be the wing can round will come back in and it could ain't not being in them Which would mean he could still make the gold coast Finishing deitz That what you work out. Fine for the she wouldn't it. Yeah look i think the biggest the biggest thing is It without a crystal Which unfortunately i don't have it's hot in our how the pandemic is going to affect the rest of the year I would say there's plenty going on at the moment that's affecting everyone's plans and and we're moving stuff around and whatnot so you know. I guess we'll just keep to keep adapting and evolving as it transpires and Yeah see what happens. I can fully scenario where we could end up going back to winston or Yeah jumping an extra round on here there. Yeah take come well matt. We hope that you and your two boys. Jacob sticky and i'm gonna have a great way came along with the rescue crews I'm in the you'll be waiting so The washout from the come. Mondays with a crew got not who come back I look i mean like because the the events are obviously back directly back to back. You know there's only a Three or four. I really tom priming between So you know we. We would usually spans in a couple of weeks. Re prepping the car between rounds. But we're certainly looking at those three or four days is going what they're going to be quite busy and we utilize every every minute of it to make sure that going into the second event we've got out pas ready ready to rock and roll so now we'll take in the sunshine and hang out in the north queensland for the weekend Hopefully have a day off in between and get the house ready to go right thing and will you be doing that work. They track given the you know the straight guys and they don't need four weeks to load them into anyway. Yeah look obviously. This is all still evolving. As we're talking but i can only speak on last year and certainly when we have the double header. Last year we paid in council we worked at the circuit john. The deicing between Referring macau's and then we went racing dan so my view would be a bit of a princeton. Repeat of that that scenario But yeah they're certainly key factors to be still worked out.

There were four of with Found darwin Thailand main city montessori talked with a couple of weeks in the twain. But i'm very different when you got into the same track In back to back weekends aren't they. I mean you you will pay to the second one but the things you have to do differently for the first one when you know. They're not necessarily. I mean last year by the head of the sort of thing as the site of the and and you know the flexibility about championship and bid is a is a good thing I mean last year.

You know win win situation whereas the tyre allocation yeah made months. I don't think that would be an on such a notice.

I'd like to see week to then be the the screen formats you know returning to what we have had the lottery rounds and i think that would be a great way of makes events and You know keeping the keeping them separate enough is enough. It's tough to go on in the next rent next event to make it interesting you guys. They would be looking forward to the lower races race.

It was gonna be hot if you're having to pay Too much for the ring. Yeah look certainly. We've wanted to run We're building out model around moving up to three cars and we're still committed to doing that as early as next year if possible. We would have done this year. pending iraq as we all know from twelve months ago and yeah. We attempted to get that wreck through the ten in the process And yeah. I guess you could say that. Yeah we were always the unsuccessful in the ten the spot at being a into two entities but And maybe we miss judge the market a little bit there but yet we still remain committed to obtaining wreck Three one form or another and expanding in two or three things as soon possible and contract. you're obviously aware and she'll kept informed maybe not as much you'd like on the potential style of the supercars entity by arches You must be encouraged by the fact that there were maybe as many as three or four different groups looking to buy into because that must be pretty joyous with that could be the case.

"Another form of one pilot put together those twelve contest Twenty edge of guides endow taught two billion. Now i mean really I think it was a little bit of a moment in time. Because i think mister penske is corrected some. You're going to get into schedule and sponsorship contract issues that might be too big overcome as erects is very carefully formulated. Not tread on navistar. Chirp is no. You don't wanna poke that bear can put you in a business over not so It has to be any any such future for this. Formula has to be done in such a way that you could get the very top and that's guys and gals and do way that it does not tread on the other top formulate and i think sponsorship scheduled contract and all of that. I think that would be mountain a little hard as my thing. I love to be wrong. But i just think mr devoted specifically the all of the wood was stranded at barnes. We're got to be a little bit. Yeah and you know. We'll lord knows plenty of tracks out there right especially those that you know have lost recently in the the nascar schedule shuffle. I for example chicagoland speedway right not not chosen this year after ten fifteen years of nascar top tier goodness right. So i you know the adoption of road courses. You know there's plenty of unexplored or quality venues out. There were tracks that are underutilized. Yeah there could be room. I look we explore the team concept right you know like teams in different cities right if you look at some of the newer leagues out there like The premier lacrosse league or or some of these others. Those sort of a touring kind of format they create these sort of artificial teams and names and stuff. But you could you could domicile or have a have a city branded a group of of of racers. That kind of literally go. I don't know the seems to be some creativity there and you know all that said right and the iraq concept that we spent the last hour talk about how elliot cool conceptually. It was an for a couple. You know for a number of years. Some really amazing moments in in and worthwhile memories. I just it feels to me like there's plenty of room for some shall we say creativity and innovation stuff. And i don't know that gives me some kind of hope and look. You're talking to a guy who's not even gearhead. He's not even. I'm not even a historically engaged racing fan but to me this is kind of. It's cool to kinda sorta see a new idea or a retro version of a new idea Come to fruition because to me it's it's it's interesting it's different. It's not sorta same old same old. And i'm for all of that. So you know a fair disclosure. I've i've watched both as our races doesn't far and i actually drove by slinger speedway on my way backdrop by my older daughter to camp up in northern wisconsin the having driven by on the interstate the the exit the slinger speedway justice. Just knowing that they were going to be coming in a couple of weeks and you know. I've never seen a facility like that before it's classic it's it's old. It's it's tiny and it's it's it's gritty. And i never would have in a million years imagined to do that without the you know the the excitement i guess of this new concept which to me is a as a regular joe. You know sports fan. I got me interested the validity of the concept in general. There's no doubt that. I mean as i was saying some of the the realities of execution posed challenges. But i don't believe that the validity or interest in the concept is is is not. I agree i would wanna see to me. However they would have to get the very top drivers to participate because it's an interesting series but it's not international. Race of champions are all of the vehicles that that were part of that i I rock series still around and in other people's collector hands or they all have somewhat different. Life's i rock on. Some of them are became frontlines or scour razors in the absence series and they raise the daytona in savoring and all throughout the international motor association international motorists or association imsa series for many years and some of them were pretty successful from not much. A couple of them went into hiding in bribe very private collections. Some of them do some vintage racing One of them. I believe was damaged pretty badly. Who back together. But they all existed in one form or another roger. penske owns one his his museum collection and And jerry seinfeld own one for some number of years it has also interesting that one of the cars. The the the sarah bache card that emerson fittipaldi in the first race was subsequently owned by pablo. Who you will know as one of the great druglords of of mexico druglord history. Now figure that and this guy. He drove it on the street in mexico. There's a bit of of iraq trivia for you talk about a rabbit hauler or series of rabbit holes right. I mean just to be. How long did it take you to track down all these cars. I always a relatively easier. Or i can't imagine it was. In some cases it was the upper. Probably half of them. I was able to find owners and histories prequel. There you know within the porsche circles and benadryl circle their guide and dealers and owners and race things that they travel in these circles. You give them a chassis number. They know where it is. And i will also admit that there were three or four room. That was like an archaeological dig to find the car and did a hold of somebody that can say. Oh yeah i have it. Here's what i do with it. Or here's a picture of it So some of that was challenging but It was a lotta work. It was. I will be honest with you. It was months of work to to build reasonably detailed and accurate host iraq history and current locations of these in cars. I mean is like digging for diamonds but it was a lotta fun and get excited. But they all lived very different lives and some owners successful ray cart race cars. Some of them got put were intended to shows and one of them was driven on the streets of mexico by Figure well as multifaceted and this is amazing. Little story. I i guess the last sort of question author out there is. How.

"Into issues of exclusivity and sponsorship contract. He says it's pretty hard to have afford contract driver of pontiac and said boy by pontiac. Right ran great today. So the conflicts between drivers engines cianci's and and brands is openly would made the series more cumbersome than it was worth so so that's kind of where they are. The shutting down was twenty six seasons over thirty years and it had a good run. I mean he's thinking about. It's a good run for our or a series that doesn big day back to the one thousand nine hundred hundred twenties thirties forties fifties. Whatever it was sort of a manufactured series albert idea and had a thirty year run. That's in any measure and you know 'cause you know television movies and series of a thirty year. Run on anything is terrific. Yeah it's also interesting too. Because i think you know. I guess my last question is sort of legacy because the idea really sorta hasn't gone away. I think a lot of people are sort of throwing back to how cool the concept was ultimately right know the the best way in a perfect world it would be to have all these drivers from these different disciplines. Be in all of the different cars involved from their disciplines as well. And that's hard right stockcar. Guy's not gonna jump into a formula one vehicle and be able to. I mean it's just it's just it's just kind of just borderline impossible but if you truly wanted to be equal right everybody would get shot in the cars in the series you know from the series that they were from so in some respects. It almost feels to me like it may be an impossible task although going back to the nostalgia and calling back everything old is new again which is a constant theme of this little show right at nothing is new under the sun. And the superstar racing. Experience that the tony stewart and and array or a everingham and and And others have sort of put together is an interesting twist and they have not been shy about especially stewart calling back iraq. And saying you know trying to go back to that spirit where it's from racers. Not just guys by the way which is an improvement and not just not just which is also to go back to the spirit of from multiple disciplines and maybe with a twist like going to the short track sort of a routes if you will of racing in the united states at least radically similar cars right but in this case irving i never can spell it. Say his name everingham g. there's no gene ever at. That's probably why it's hard for me to say. But i digress th there's no maker model on this. This i look at those cars though And the first couple of weeks on cbs. And i i don't know they look like bricks to me but maybe that's part of the the concession one has to make in order to make something that is truly new for everybody versus sort of being deferential to one type of racing that's true and that's on purpose because they didn't want to get into that okay well shelby the cardi do on it. But they're not badged as ords and There's probably a a sticker on him somewhere Powered by ford or something like that. But but yeah the body designers somewhat innocuous on purpose that the x. car it's it's it's just a little more generic and so you don't get into those sorts of brand allegiance issues and the equal playing field. All built them prepared by the same people. So you don't have this guy's pit crew in that guy could prove his cheat candidate and or her whatever you know there's none of that so and and you're right. They unabashedly acknowledged and credit. I rock for the formula Now they're doing all these many years later. And the fact that it's panel on on om dirk short courses is is fascinat- on short tried to make an equal playing field for everybody now. All the believe there may be road courses and we don't know how long very who rom or where to go or how wall but there's little questions there in glitterati in the basic form of the execution of course has many facets but But the formula people still wanna know who's the best all different disciplines put them saying daren car run up and i think there's great appeal on credit ray and and tony or or understanding that and for their willingness to die i pay homage but to acknowledge and recognize the original. I long series for the jets of their new series and i that successful watch the first rate. So we'll see. Yeah i tend to agree with you there. And i you know maybe the short tracks is the easiest way to sort of get the concept out there but It's interesting as we record. This is the first two weeks. The winners have been short-track experts. Say the first one in in the the venue in connecticut was sort of the local ring which is really cool idea by the way as well bringing the local ringer from the local track to participate with the big brand names and stuff. But i think you're right. I mean the concept. The general question is always out. There is like who truly is given equal circumstances the better driver. And if i do think though right you know i think it's. We'll see we'll see if If You know some of some of the indy drivers where the formula one drivers. Can you know win one of these races and stuff. But it's tough right. You're slinging around in the slinger speedway the world's fastest quarter mile. And you throw some dirt on there. I i don't know if a tony kahn's gonna win that race right so but you know. I do think you're right right if you can mix it up with at least a couple of different course types and i love the idea of having short-track there because i think it's it's it's it's it's the the true essence of the sport but maybe not exclusively and i got to think that they're thinking bigger than just that but i think it's a great way to start and again got to kind of throw. You gotta tip the hat to the original. Ira concept. I guess my last sort of wind up question for you would be. Do you ever think we'll see an iraq sort of you know at that sort of top tier level. You know maybe in the big facilities and that kind of stuff and and maybe an s rx does grow into that or was that. Would you say that this is sort of a moment in time and maybe it's just kind of you know Folly to think that that will ever come back again. I believe it's a moment. It's a real. I suspect as i think. I said.

"Surprise or not surprised and i can i can. I can quote the late. Great bobby unser was richard petty richard. Ben he just didn't do particularly well and in the words about the answer he said well. The richard petty is a world class outstanding racing driver. But just what his kind of deep that's quote so Pending was was was pack to although smiling. The whole line seem to be having fun but nonetheless. Yeah you go up and down the roster finishers and there's kind of reasons and understanding for where were they finished and were. they started. Who had trouble in my mind that series. That first season of this series was just a unicorn in motorsports this. This is the best of the guys that nine hundred seventy three offer and seventy four short of you know mario now who couldn't detect what a dozen truly Drivers bang it out kind of see who is best. O'brien writes money and fun. And you know what's better than that yet. Pettis credit he He he plowed on for. I think through the five races of iraq right so it wasn't like he wasn't having fun or at least trying to try to do. Well let me let me ask you this that. So what are you of that. First season then so i mean how. How would you see how to go right i. Obviously the competition was was good. It was all brand new and certainly a lot of excitement. I i'm ignorant on How the ratings were also interested as to What the after this after season assessment was because the porsche cars didn't come back and the series did Sort of retool little bit Going away from seoul road racing and completely in different directions when it came to car chassis. He's not orland the second year but going forward their fair question on the whole it was judges assess and continued for twenty six seasons over thirty years with a similar lot of the the reason the portion would away. You know batch Were expensive to build and baronne They will replace by camaros awesomely by a couple of different dodgers firebirds. And there were there. Were chevy's pontiacs. Dodges came along. Something quincy sandwiches cheaper to build and run and were more comfortable for the nasdaq is. We're probably more. Ideally suited suited to ovals. Because after the first year they started as i think it will be or john. Cochran suggested starting bedroom. You know to row racecourses in in the season and that tend to even out the playing field a little further in terms of vin and same thing to cars changed every race and they had in stars all the basic structure. Same the same except for the cars changed and a couple of events so By all the routinely ratings i understand. We're good very good and anybody watch anybody who wanted to watch racing. The did it on wide rose or it's and any writing it was on that people watched it and it was guys that they knew and could root for in cars that they recognize and then it was two generations of camaros. They came later and two generations of dodges and then they went to To firebirds and then after they stopped making the pontiac firebird will call the iraq. Racer those so harvard is stripped on badges off of them and they were iraq cards at that point even though the just like by words that they used to make somebody. Somebody missed the marketing memo with that. Yeah i would say so there but it's also interesting though matt that that that and again hindsight is twenty twenty right but the move to i mean. Essentially they became stop. It was a stock car chassis of set up from year to onward right and as as the years went on right you know the the knock against iraq was that was if you will you know it might have been even on all these other sort of a metrics and and setups but at the end of the day the ultimate was that the fact that the car was if you will a stock car sort of body and guess what that's probably and it showed in the results generally that To the advantage of of the nascar guys. That's absolutely true. There's a matter of fact. Bull george fulmer and and mike felts said after while it kind of became a junior nascar or better or for worse i will submit one small correction to your comment. The the first generation of the camaros that they ran the inning in one thousand nine hundred seventy or five. They were based on production cars. They were they. Were not to framers. That came along a few years later but but ultimately yorker they went to work because silhouette razors which means the body that looks like a camaro on a to drink and they all junior nascar racers from about your five and think they still. They were very effective because those cars were good on ovals and on on voices and they were built in the good in in the the nascar guys were much more comfortable in them and Or chevrolet of marketing money behind it. So iraq the camaros on the street and it was a very effective tool. But but you're right after awhile if they went to an all over formula and you will getting less and less international drivers coming to participate and that to me is kind of worried all our one away once they went south but the original vision was obscured by wasn't very international anymore. There were some guys from other countries and other series. But mostly after awhile. It got to be Indycar guys goebbels. And that's what kind of Was it the end. For better or worse and It was something very different. And i don't think it was as good honestly. I'm not picking on the national guys or the american jesse's engines but it you speak english international and Was much less much less true to the original spirit of the event. I asked roger penske on this next question last august. Why did it. It was such a great formula. Why did it. And it's very logical. He said we got.

"While it's it's a were. George and markle raced transam so they had another layer of road course competition more and yet it was kinda like that you who were the who are the dozen i wanted to name is is a good way to put. It will really the everybody will go everybody on tv of route four and at the races. Although i will tell you everything. There were two rather huge. That were not there. Well one's gotta be mario andretti. Go next you got me on the other one okay. Allinson sure and the reason is simple unfortunate but several Both of those guys were visits back when they did such have tyler exclusivity contracts with firestone and goodyear was a i mean iraq or a good year series so they both have exclusivity contracts. Pay them a lot among young shirt and they were to go break. Those contracts to go awry. Mario was there one of the tests and against looked at around and check it. They wanted him bat and But mario l. senior could not do although both of them subsequently later when the firestone exclusivity clauses in away with mario big al join the series and one championship game. They both came in two years later. I know mary But then yes so that's also probably also a bit of a testament to I guess a serious and important and cool. This iraq idea was becoming were. Yeah when you when you got the guides they have. They had about as good as their word anywhere in the world at the time a couple of others people may ask question but what about dan gurney. What about jackie. Stewart roles that you needed to be a still working professional racing driver at the time of the era of occasion rings of time berezin and and both gurney and stewart had each. Just retired store was in the early discussions but he retired and therefore was out. And what have been spectacular. In my opinion. I mean what have been a competitor for sure but Ended up being the broadcast color commentator on abc and that was buying a lot of value to that and the drivers new respect him and his views the drivers of good and But but i can only imagine. Had the thing near year if If dan gurney and jackie stewart would have been there put him in on either. Watch that or so. How did how did this initial iraq than play out four races three of which are at riverside. They're all road courses. They're all in the porsche. Carrera are sr racecar clearly. The the road racing guys. Maybe predictably on maybe. It wasn't predictably at the time. Did really well. I mean george falmer. One one of the four races he finished fifth for the series and mark donohue three out of the four. He won and ran away with. I was Probably i'm just looking at these names. Maybe one of the lesser known guys of all of these twelve that were racing when it came to general knowledge of of of race car drivers ironically not completely sure matter of indian. But you'll recall that he was the nineteen sixty eight and nine hundred sixty nine. Sea champion and the nineteen. Seventy two. indy five hundred so he was. He was no no shrinking violet by stretch. And then the law circles would well-known in ways that lemond they don't and reach dot cards. He was a very big but but nonetheless are yeah that's kind of what happened. The road racers ended up rising to the top. As i mentioned the two of the better road racing nascar dies. They being donnie. Allison bobby allison and david silver fox pearson drove barrett will on occasion lead. Those racing fittipaldi led given their or low Finished a little bit of amid back and he crashed and the nfl one rice everson fittipaldi probably didn't do as well as many people might have predicted. The being formula one champion so really mark donohue was was dominant and revson also had some very good ones didn't didn't win a race in finishes high as some people might have thought he would but but generally the road racer one and finish the best couple of the top masdar guys did very well and then the rest of up and down the pack. Sometimes they'd finish eleven won't next rays. They finished third. Bobby unser drove very well a multiple second place finishes or for the Bobby hunter was one of those guys would be fast on a lawnmower lower or tractor and And the cars did not like these cars at all. I don't have anything against abortion. But he didn't like the way the handle they were a little tail heavy or some and not every driver likes but anyway bobby unser to a very well. I would say that the the two fishes most out of water were roger mcklusky on gordon. Young gordon johncock by his admission designers did jump into a holden kind of car. Go fast and it takes me time to learn. The lay of the land. Learned the car get speak. He wasn't making season. But that's my. I don't jump into something new and go back on. Mcklusky just did not have a lot of experience a rover nor or she's on dennis home a can add in order the one jam a terrific world class. Words was amid packer. Pretty much the whole way. He started and finished all three of the heat. Racer in the middle in the middle finished never was a factor in home of the charging on new new race mclaren canam. You're good informing. The ones and i think maclaren's and dense was razors. Racer in half and was was no better than move pat aging floyd by his own admission said prior to the third he raise. I'm just starting to come to grips with these little portion and he was starting to get comfortable with them when i think have there been more. Racism or heats have done better. He did qualify for the finale. The prom at daytona. And unfortunately you didn't do terribly well. Or jeremy bad there but but boy i believe was on the verge of breaking through with the cars and gerson ran very well like i say you go up and down the lineup and.

"Challenging. Or do you think. Do you think porsche was behind some of that to being good at what they do. Especially now i was thinking maybe that as they were stepping up and saying hey you know we're we're especially good in this type of car. Maybe maybe that kind of some influence over they didn't have mean so but that was not part of the reason for choosing porsche porsche get to dictate whether that was not that bad relationship in any case and the roger. You're asking that a little more. what is i understand. Most of it most of the reason for that. And they wanted to be certain. The kendall one weekend jerry was ordering the way they could have all the shovel their role in the oval but one reason job but that indicate i it also was the district really past and challenge. Everybody's versatility which But that's what i know. I had nothing to do with that and i think it was more than scheduling. How about the the cars then right because one of the fundamental elements of a race like this as originally envisioned right. Is that in theory. Everybody would be racing the same type of car with the same package setup the same you know everything the same to the extent that they could be the same right. No no special alterations no Special cruise with the you know i it. S trying to keep it as equitable and as straightforward as equal possible. Maybe a little bit of insight into the makeup of this porsche-carrera a car. Which was the chosen chassis and body and and Engine and vehicle for this first ever iraq race. Absolutely truth is a matter back so much. So i'll tell you a little bit more of the carnegie down but so much so that skiing nor else was allowed to maintain those dollars there were porsche mechanics. The came here to america from from. And they they crank on the call and They didn't want pets or anybody. Pick guys are buddies track anywhere near the call and i mean between races. They were locked in the warehouse with a guard. Nobody touched cards but portions own account so that way there would not be any day was a matter of fact george fulmer who one of the driver who wrote the foreword for my book. He said that when they were testing and practicing with the cars if they found out that one would perhaps not. Chris is another or maybe little faster than another book would say practice costs. They did their best to to shake down every been put together a field of twelve identical even rematch card. As and they were they. Were jim dandy cars to porsche really. You're are as our which is racing ran orange for the the the big wide vendors the wings and three year fuel injected naturally aspirated engine by the manual trans axle. Where annalong car mean. There was no computer back. Then there was low powell shifter's and you had to drive and they were were very well-balanced certainly fast enough and based on a stiffened in enhanced but architecturally stock production. Orsha nine eleven carreira show. Which means they were probably best of their breed. If you will for tackling any kind of road course out there. I mean yes. That's a very. They were good. Never their sports cars were tweaked up to a higher level than a street journal. Mean they had big wide wheel the big ears it breaks off of nine racecar but offenders and oil cooler than winning on my back and all that stuff and they were. They were superb. A road course cars. They were fast out. The real hit will down straight but something over three hundred horsepower. Southern sound like a lot today but was a lot in a fairly lightweight car back in air cooled course and the terrific on a road course and I i believe in ideal weapon for that job. They were joking and well suspect for the job and The guys who were really approved world racers could create a wild but But yeah the the main goal in hit on the head is is that orsha goping equally as as Human hands the building and then they ensure that only goes journal man touch them and every race each driver newhart car car so That was another factor. They're also fascinating omitting out track a little bit but they went with an inverted starch for each subsequent so whoever finished last the hearse race started from pole.

"Anybody at the time how to do that Some of it was still on phil. If you can believe that. Although most of it was taped there were no cameras. No rotating injured cameras or yoon. You never heard if there were radios. You never heard the driver and the team talking. I mean but still they were pretty s advanced or at least competent given the technology of the day. And of course you know camera. That's as big as your house and microphones that had cords They they were good. Anybody did for broadcasting or back in one thousand nine hundred. Seventy three seventy four. That's the show. Well no you look at some of those clips on youtube it was. It was advanta me keith. Jackson was sort of Jackie stewart they were they were putting all their their you know their their efforts behind the certainly in the the very first years i think it became more of a wide world of sports. Kinda fill in as the years wore on but they were they were all into the very beginning. The very beginning of course on part of the reason to their that the the first year this series was. That's why i did this book on primarily. The first season was the most international loss of drivers as a series ever. Had i mean in that year alone. You had multiple formula one. Champion won't vote in these by winners. Several indycar champions. And i mean those were the biggest of guns at that. So they really put a lot into. It and goodyear was a sponsor of the series then provided tired and also provided. The blimp sudan allowed. You know the The the cameras to up in the air and float over riverside daytona getting those max giant pictures that they did at the time in court which was pretty cool stuff. There was not a lot more sport than had that kind of coverage back then so they better job well and also too. I guess. Road racing specifically right. I mean i you know i would imagine that. Most of the road course racing. That national television audiences had seen up until that point was probably of the edited and You know consolidated kind of presentation. No yes yes thursday. They did not of course cover formula one live coverage not wise but But when you saw the the rebroadcast of the monaco grand prix for example. It was that it didn't shorten then you've got the highlights and you saw the winner in the champagne against the flyers and all that but New never saw flag. The flag racing covered in road racing covered in on television. This didn't happen so the fact that it's another reason that these races were you know seventy five mile races thirty laps or whatever they were is it. They were easily packages on television. And you can see the whole race and half an hour forty minute show and and that is a key element of what iraq was ideally packaged. I let set up this first iraq. We're talking about one thousand nine hundred ninety three late nineteen seventy-three in early nineteen. Seventy four is basically four races spread across those that period of time. Actually i think three of them were at riverside from between a weekend of october. Twenty seventh twenty eighth of seventy three and then there was the road course that they tone ah on february fourteenth of seventy four. But it's it's interesting to me because and and obviously the the focus of this. This created and gorgeous looking book that you have out. There won't be promoting the hell out of it during during the beginning and the end of the show. And and uh well yeah. Let's god forbid we'll help yourself you extra books but This looks to me in hindsight right as primarily and maybe on purpose or maybe not on purpose. I don't know you tell me. A road course. Specific event which is not what it ultimately evolve to in the years later. But i the road course. Specialty was Prime in the skillset here as we sort of established earlier for this and obviously the choice of car for such accordingly. You're absolutely true and funny enough at the end of the season. A couple of the drivers who were primarily overweight. You're into guys said you know what this was fun. And i've learned a lot or i didn't i loved it or hated it but We really should do. Two races on mobile and two races on road. Course very compelling thought and that's what they went to a little later in for a year or two they only did ovals and they brought back daytona road course and you know that was about the time. That series was beginning to wane a bit. But you're right. It was an interesting formula and some of the integral guys who were not in the nascar guys who were not necessarily as proficient or is deep in rogue racing didn't like the for format lot although a couple of them david pearson and bobby allison among them were were particularly good road racers. Those guys were were good old boys but they can turn both directions and And often lead or often figured in those in in road races so pearson and alison truly. Got it boy. Aj four wounded exceptional road racer. But but not familiar with the shows. And then the some some of wood's older school guys like Gordon johncock and roger mccloskey. They're like well so yes so so then. Why so the the idea of this sort of. I guess you'd call. I wanna call an all star race. I get sort of it was right across discipline sort of a test if you will but why was this and i'm sure there reasons i'm sure richter penske and phelps. You know had ideas as to why they wanted to do it this way at least at the outset. But why was it so full on road course racing when you know to your point these. These guys are coming from various disciplines i. I'm just curious as to why. This racing was determined is being. Maybe the supposed- arbiter of skill across all these different disciplines. When guys were coming from all over the place absolutely fair question. I will say that some of it was dictated by but schedule member. You guys coming from all around the world and and you know they couldn't Fly in this weekend riverside and then no three weeks from now will go to india and then we'll do another race in michigan and then will go on the back all. I repeat races into one week on. That was sensitive with the circuit. Stay at one track in one pet. I think you're were a difference of as they might have noble ronald journal for one of the reasons but but for whatever reason to not but i would agree that that is a fascinating question. I can answer was absolute certain. I believe the reason one of circus along ten. They had the whole show riverside the one weekend they did it there and i think the other reasons might have been true. Challenge all champion most theoretically most.

"Is born and raised in southern california kirk. My dad was a car guy from way back. In the hot rod days i inherited the the mutant gene of a car guy from him. 'cause we always had no interest in cars around the house and we went to car shows and races and we want out every year when all the new coast came out all the brochures on new cars so i was kind of a car from birth. I guess you might say and from my other. Big hobby autocracy. So what did i shoot cars natural and actually career-wise started off in the real estate business. And then kinda started dabbling in freelance geography freelance writing and one night about thirty years ago the to discredit that in cross in the middle of the night and i gave up by the job dude. You're germ on the side of the hang by shingle. Is a freelance writer and photographer. And i've been doing that thirty years and along with just general automotive enthusiasm. I love motorcycle. I i love raising the guys. The drivers of cars this feed the stories. The whole deal so That's a little bit about me. Gasoline in my veins and on. I just anything to do with kerr via technology motor sports. History design pop culture interview in almost any angle with mentioned with involving transportation is Is my involvement my interesting by interest. And i'm your neighborhood cargo. Okay so. I think the next question that i need to ask them is what kind of car guy. And maybe more pointedly. What kind of racing do you sort of find yourself most aligned to or most affiliated towards. Because you know and i i. This is a very amateurish. Kind of question right. 'cause i'm not sort of a longtime deeply rooted racing fan although i do admit to being intrigued with With with nascar of late and and the s rx series which. We'll talk about in a minute. But i think it's important to kind of set that base because there seems to be like type casts right here right you. You're either you're an indie guy or your your formula one for you know really under the off road thing or you're kind of a a a a nascar stock car kinda guy Can one be multiple. It seems to me the answer to that is generally no but school me as to what you are. And if that's even a a a right thing more than fair question would i have been asked and answered many times and completely because everybody is different. You know it's like well like music yes well. There's gotta be more to the math. But i would say i'm generally automotive on the whore. I pretty much eat meat and I mean i like. I like sports cars and and the classics in hot rods and all sorts of genre of of cardi all new and other women so much on the horde there and in more sport i would say generally the same I if i had the types of raising that appealed to me. Most road racing road course. Racing would turn left and right and in sports cars in endurance racing in lemon see bringing daytona and all that kind of stuff. So i'm i'm a sports car racer guy. Although i certainly pay attention to in the and formula one and Been of drag races in my day. And i find something to enjoy in most of it but i i am generally a rogue racer pipe but the what i'm but that's not exclusionary i don't go down all the other sports that people tend to light. But that's that's kind my bent. That's interesting because road racing obviously very different in an era respective right of the actual chassis or or or type of car right. That's that's doing the racing at the you know. Various road courses wrote america and stuff for the one down in austin. Which name escapes me of late. That we'll we'll handle indy cars or nascar or any other sort of kinds of things right so the that nature. That kind of racing right seems to me again. Sort of the the amateur sort of occasional interested party Seems to be. I don't know. I'm gonna call it more grueling because it's a different kind of growing but requires a little bit more. I don't know. I think a broader palette of skills perhaps versus speed and agility when say one's going around in circles or trials in that kind of stuff because watering left in writing gear shifting and going down hills and all that kind of stuff. It seems like it's more complicated. The i think it's more facet that's for sure. And i am not going to minimize or marginalize indy-car racers or overall racers or any of that. Because that's a whole different since heels that that also takes huge talent and At a lot of fortitude but appealed me arrays a in formula one when she mentioned enjoyed racing. And actually. that's our boy. The couple of times a year sago road racing on road courses biggles office so But yes you're right. I mean to me. There's so much going on in a road race you gotta be looking forward and backward and sideways than your accelerating and then you're decelerating braking your shifting and you do all that kind of and To me it's just the most rewarding of driving do and i believe because nothing overly philosophical but it didn't blows all four of your extremities. You're clutching and shifting and braking you got the wheel in one hand in jelly shift or the other it it to me. It just involves your whole gyroscope but.

'South Park' Episode Mocks Hollywood for Shaping Stories to Please China
"Comedy central South Park is no stranger to controversy over the shows almost three hundred episodes creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have taken on everything from scientology to the war in Iraq now the show has a new critic China the latest South Park episode titled Banned in China Takes on among other things how Hollywood panders to the massive sneeze entertainment market here's a cut from the episode that gets right to the point I can't do it anymore you guys I can't even think the Chinese government censoring everything I write no there's not going to be a bio pic movie for us it's so wrong you know I mean we live in a time where the only movies that it's American kids go see are ones that are approved by China yeah like China's the new MPAA Ryan Parker wrote about the controversy for the Hollywood reporter and he tells me how the Chinese government has reacted so far from everything that we can he from our correspondent it looks like South Park has been pretty much banned in the country and all references to sell park had been scrubbed from any online sites basically from everything we know if you search for South Park your not going to get any information and apparently all the streaming services have also seized is carrying any of the episodes in any of the clip so it's almost as though South Park all of a sudden doesn't exist I wanNA play a little cut from the episode here this is a scene in which may have caught the eye of some Chinese censors in this bit a very angry Mickey Mouse who might also be Disney head Bob Iger is chastising in a room full of Disney and marvel characters decided to go and start Chinese and I just say anything critical of Chinese politics will it is true so the Chinese seem to exploit their own people forced labor so I would say there's a fair amount in the band in China episode that Chinese answer could be a little bit angry about if you were to kind of pick a couple of examples what would you cite well I think that the when he the Pu reference definitely did not go over well I think that's been well reported that that's a huge issue there and then the the the way in which the the work camps were portrayed were in the Horton conditions that the those in prison there had to go through and was also probably Inaugu over well Yeah Winnie the Pooh I think in some circles has been compared to the appearance of President Gee and the Poo essentially vanished from a lot of sense social media sites in China is that right that sure seems to be the case from everything that I've seen reported and that apparently is what Matt and Trey the creators of South Park thought to and that's one of the reasons why randy when he gets put into a work camp runs into Winnie the Pooh and piglet and they explain exactly what's happening in the news which is the first time that Matt and Trey Have you South Park and real world events in news and worked it into the story line so you know they're getting their laughs but they're also a few things that maybe some folks aren't aware of listen guys we just got word back from the Chinese censors they don't want US mentioning organ transplants how come well they've been accused of harvesting organs from look it doesn't matter they they said no to the Oregon stuff oh and no homosexuality either there's this great phrase in the law it's a Latin phrase called ray so low quarter which means the facts speak for themselves and I have to say the fact that Chinese censors are blocking South Park pretty much validates the whole point of the episode doesn't it it would sure appear to be that way I think the mantra were definitely making a point sir numerous points rather when they did this episode both about how Hollywood and studios tailor their art to fit the Chinese censors so that they can obviously make money there but also the horn conditions that the work camps in China or what people who were in those camps in China the horrid conditions that they have to go through there've been a couple of run INS with China recently one is the NBA and the NBA has apologized because of what it called an inappropriate comment and by the general manager of the Houston Rockets who sent out a tweet and support of Hong Kong's Democracy Movement Matt and Trey have come out with a slight he different statement what did they say in response to the controversy well they went right for it which they usually tend to lean and they said light quote like the NBA welcome the Chinese censors into our homes into our hearts and part and basically what they were saying this full apology is that money and money is more important than freedom democracy so they definitely were leaning in and taking a shot with this fo apology and I I can't imagine this'll be the last we hear of it I wouldn't be surprised if there was something in this week's episode I don't know necessarily but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if this is the last we hear of it from them
