@Dustola_1985 The Twitterverse is already getting rid of San Diego before even seeing a lap? Yep. Things are right with the world.

Move the All-Star race back at Charlotte get rid of San Diego and give Dover it’s points race back

@ABtX2hYzLLqaYWj @ChampCar4Ever Homestead was a IRL track in 2002.

@ChampCar4Ever マイアミにはホームステッドという素晴らしいオーバルがあったにも関わらず、ストリートサーキットだったんですか？

The 2002 CART season with the original 20 race schedule. Round 16 Lausitz, Germany would be cancelled at a later date and would not be replaced. This page originally appeared in a supplement to Racer magazine titled "Wide Open: Inside the 2002 CART FedEx Championship Series".

@RebelNewsOnline Slow news day it seems. WGAF.

Exposed: Toronto police parking officers costing taxpayers millions by clocking out early Do you remember the 1981 movie, Time Bandits? This Terry Gilliam-directed flick was a time travel fantasy. But in the here and now, there are real-life time bandits amongst us. And get this: these time bandits happen to be members of law enforcement! That’s what we observed (and video recorded) when we paid a visit to the Toronto Police Service Central Parking Enforcement Unit headquarters in north Toronto. By way of background, parking enforcement is quite the revenue generator for the city. Almost 400 parking enforcement officers (a.k.a., “meter maids”) write some 2.8 million tickets per year. That works out to more than $80 million per year going into the city’s coffers. Each officer is mandated to work a 10-hour shift. They get paid about $40 per hour. Or at least they are supposed to work 10 hours. But we discovered that such is not the case. Jay Bannister, a former Toronto cop who now runs Mad Lab Press, was tipped off by an insider that for several years now, parking enforcement officers are routinely NOT putting in a full shift’s work. And yes, we have evidence. Bannister went to the Central Parking Enforcement Unit just after 5 a.m. to observe officers arriving for duty in their civilian cars for the morning shift. At 6 a.m., the officers, now in their uniforms, left HQ in their marked cars. They are meant to be writing parking tickets until 4 p.m. Of note: each officer has a quota of 60 tickets per day, which is a goal that can easily be achieved in about two hours. In any event, these officers should be back at headquarters no sooner than 3:45. That way they can change out of their uniforms and leave at 4 p.m. But this is NOT the case. Instead, they routinely return to HQ by around 2 p.m. Indeed, the day we observed their comings and goings, some “early birds” had returned by 1:30 p.m. – yet keep in mind they are being paid until 4 p.m.! Translation: every officer is paid for a 10-hour shift even though they are barely working an eight-hour shift. This is called time theft. And it is costing the taxpayer almost $6 million per year thanks to all these officers going home hours early as opposed to working a full shift. It should be noted that the head honcho at parking enforcement, Michael Harrison, makes almost $187,000 per year plus benefits. And get this: last year, Harrison received a whopping 41% raise! But why? For turning a blind eye to time theft? Surely he knows what is going on. Last Monday afternoon, we paid a visit to the Central Parking Enforcement Unit. Sure enough, beginning as early as 1:30 p.m., officers began returning to headquarters. We scrummed the returnees. Our questions included: - Why are you off-shift – you’re supposed to be working until 4 p.m.? - We calculate that this time theft is costing the taxpayer almost $6 million per year. What do you have to say to the taxpayer about this? - As a member of law enforcement, shouldn’t you be setting a good example as opposed to defrauding the taxpayer? Those who did offer an answer said either “no comment” or “reach out to TPS Corporate Communications.” Alas, just one hitch: the policy of TPS Corporate Communications is to NOT communicate with Rebel News. So much for transparency… But now that the cat is out of the bag, the question arises: will the Chief of Police lay down the gauntlet and demand that parking enforcement officers put in a full shift? Or will time banditry simply be tolerated for whatever reason? Stay tuned. In the days ahead we shall bring you an update to see if these time bandits have modified their behaviour. REPORT by @TheMenzoid:

@Rafamorsal @F1BigData Can't test in F1. Been that way for a decade or more now.

@F1BigData What is wrong with them? They had 4 weeks and couldn’t even get the car out for practice!! And they didn’t have a single update to the car!! Is Aston Martin giving up?

Slowest Formula 2 time in qualyfing: 1:41.157 Fastest Aston Martin time in the sprint qualy: 1:41.311

@Oilers_Insiderr Why'd you shut down the comments on your other post?

The amount of self righteous Canucks fans laughing that the Oilers are down 3-1 is comical As if the Canucks have anything to brag about. You are so terrible you probably won’t even win the draft lottery

@lakeeffecttakes @RacingTerritory If he gets to the point where he's winning or out front consistently... the NASCAR fanbase will turn on him. That's what they do now.

@RacingTerritory One day Hocevar will be on the same level Dale Earnhardt once was on

Can we stop comparing Carson Hocevar to Dale Earnhardt?

@A_S12 @IndyCar How many people who are upset by this watch F1?

.@IndyCar will stop letting open entries compete in races other than the Indy 500 after this season, in a move the series hopes will help suppliers plan better but could also assist in raising charter values. sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2026/…

@RaceCanada_ca If that's all they'll do instead of doing 10 minutes of research then they weren't going to do it anyway. It's like saying they won't play soccer because they went to a MLS game. Its up to us involved in the sport to talk to people and bring them in. I've brought in several.

Yes Briggs CAN be cheap, but when people who are outside of the sport, that we need to bring in, and who know nothing between Briggs or Rotax, walk into a kart race weekend to watch because their son or daughter want to race, the intimidation factor is off the charts and they'll turn away thinking they can never afford. I've seen it happen far too often. Entry level racing, especially in Canada where the sport is on life support, needs to break down all the barriers for entry that it can.

This is a good question, and one reason I think, at least here in Canada, that racing is stagnating. I remember about 15 years ago when Chris and I were at, I think Goodwood, the week before the nationals. A father and his son showed up to watch, the son really wanting to race and really excited to be there. His dad looked around at all the incredibly expensive trailers and haulers, said to his son, there's no way we can afford this, and they left not long after.

@GaryPit11684731 @RaceCanada_ca It still happens and you can still do it. Anyone that says otherwise is making excuses. I run 2 karts from my 6x12 trailer. I do the work myself and I don't spend thousands and we have a great time. You don't always have to keep up with the jones's.

@RaceCanada_ca Parents who hope their kid is the next Verstappen or Tracey have priced the hobbiest out of the game. Far cry from my younger days when a Kart, with a few spares and tires , could pull in a run at Goodwood or 1 of the other tracks.

@CautionLapHater You know F1 isn't spec body, spec parts and is all about engineering. So how is NASCAR becoming more F1 like?

Spec body. Spec parts. Limited room to out-engineer the next guy. What that really does is lock the advantage into the organizations with the most resources, data, and sim time. If you’re not Hendrick, Penske, or Gibbs, you’re out to lunch.

The Gen 7 spec car has pushed @NASCAR closer to a shit F1-style product more than anyone wants to admit. @DaleJr and @KyleBusch called out the current product both on 4/21/26—separate interviews, separate conversations, but both are in agreement.

@BUFSportsTalk Don't need ANOTHER team that won't win a championship.

Buffalo being called “the best pound for pound sports city in America” made me think of a topic I’m passionate about: Buffalo SHOULD have an MLB team. Regional location is perfect. A retractable dome on the water front brings a new center for events. Additional metro line added to and from the stadium, also replacing or repairing the Skyway. I’ll hangup and listen.

@jfazli @jeff_gluck This is specifically the NASCAR CUV. They've already tested them about two years ago.

@jeff_gluck Okay I'll bite: What the heck is a CUV? Like a Crossover? We're talking Toyota Rav 4 vs Ford Escape vs Chevy Trac?

Hopefully if this happens it won’t be anytime soon. 😬😬

@Pat77432407 NASCAR (of all entities) does it too. They do it when they go to Michigan and New Hampshire... and maybe Watkins Glen?

LES SABRES DE BUFFALO : UNE TRADITION UNIQUE DANS LA LNH ET LE SPORT PROFESSIONNEL AMÉRICAIN Les Sabres de Buffalo occupent une place unique dans la Ligue nationale de hockey (LNH) et même dans le sport professionnel américain en général à cet égard. Alors que la règle standard de la LNH veut que l'on chante l'hymne national du pays de chaque équipe présente sur la glace, les Sabres sont en effet la seule équipe américaine à faire chanter le Ô Canada avant tous leurs matchs à domicile, peu importe si l'adversaire est américain seulement ou non. Plusieurs raisons expliquent ce lien privilégié avec le Canada : •La proximité géographique : Le KeyBank Center de Buffalo est situé à moins de 10 minutes de la frontière canadienne. •La base de partisans : Une partie importante des abonnés de saison et des spectateurs des Sabres provient du sud de l'Ontario (notamment de la région de Niagara et même de Toronto). Chanter l'hymne est un signe de respect et de bienvenue pour ces partisans qui traversent la frontière. •L'influence canadienne : Le nom même de l'équipe utilise l'orthographe canadienne (Sabre au lieu de l'américain Saber). Les propriétaires fondateurs des Sabres, Seymour Knox III et Northrup Knox, ont choisi cette orthographe délibérément pour rendre hommage à leur importante base de partisans canadiens. De plus, l'histoire de la franchise est profondément marquée par des légendes québécoises, notamment la célèbre French Connection (Gilbert Perreault, Rick Martin et René Robert). Pour de nombreux amateurs de hockey, Buffalo est affectueusement considérée comme « l’autre équipe canadienne » de la ligue.

@CCF_Mariner In 5 years you'd be bitching about the new car...

Is it time to discontinue the next gen car?

@edlaubster @pkligerman Its a show. Ever asked yourself why here EVERY week and nowhere else? The track has got to be paying for the repairs and giving a big high five in exchange for the publicity these things generate. Track workers have to be moonlighting stunt men or something.

@pkligerman Perhaps it’s time for remote kill switches for the engines at this track. Drivers cannot control themselves, and one of these track workers is going to get hurt over these shenanigans :(

F1: You must have your front axle alongside the mirror of the other car to have control of the corner. Or you will be penalized Bowman Gray: That’s cute

@tytynever4get @stoolpresidente Wait until you find out they play the Canadian anthem at Michigan and New Hampshire before the NASCAR races... and there's no Canadians in the Cup Series.

@stoolpresidente It’s Buffalo not Canada 🤣 I learned this in grade school 😂

Why they playing Canadien national anthem in Buffalo? Buffalo been out of the playoffs so long they forgot what country they live in?

@Staceyjax67 @ItsLeland Probably easy to Google but I know where I am prices for fuel have never been so high. Hard to compare apples to apples. Canadians not coming down will make a dent. The border is a ghost town now and wasn't in 21, 22, 23. Money ain't what it was in 21, 22 and 23.

@DrewStiggs @ItsLeland I’d like to see comparisons of crowd size in 21, 22, 23 when gas prices were just as high if not higher.

Man. This place used to be filled up.

@damien41691 @FloRacing @BGSRacing Nope. Probably got a nice bonus from the track to pay for repairs and a hardy "good job" from all the publicity generated.

@FloRacing @BGSRacing I suggest 3 drivers of Car 16, Car 83 & Car 24 has been suspended for 90-days and $50,000 fined each one.

😬 The opening night of the season at @BGSRacing ended with some post-race disagreement...

@scooterroo75 @FloRacing @BGSRacing Got to be. No other track has this many blowups. The track must pay to reskin and revinyl the cars. Drivers meeting - "All right, cars 11, 34,5 and 98... your turn this week. Give them a show'

@FloRacing @BGSRacing I’ve always the Bowman Gray drama has to be staged
