This was a definite factor in me not re-upping Live+ this year. I remember one year watching Escalante in SS and fucking Floyd let out an “ARRRIBBBAA!” when Escalante came on screen and I couldn’t handle it. I’m sure he’s a nice guy and maybe as a pit lane reporter he’d be fine but calling the races? Hell no.
I got a question. Since this is in Noo Joisey, land of the retarded fuel requirements laws, are teams allowed to put fuel in the bikes themselves, or do they have to contract out with Esso to have a fueling crew sent out?
This was actually a problem a few years ago for the wera/n2 endurance race. All the teams showed up and the state police that oversee the track informed us 20 minutes before hand that we had to have a designated person wearing coveralls hold a fire extinguisher pointed at bike during the pitstop. It was pretty funny watching everyone try to figure out what to do.
I assure you I am not. It was so absurd. If I re-up I’ll have to dig it up sometime. I think it was 2020.
