If You Were Appointed Race Czar...

[Ark]

All citizens must be thrown into the vat of acid that created the Joker. Now we're all white, we all have white privilege, and nobody is discriminated against.

Buy stock in DuPont, I think this idea has legs.

That reminds of a scifi novel about a trip to the future. Everyone lived in hovels and anyone who was not of uniform accepted skin tone applied cover-up make up.

My first official action would be to tender my resignation. No way I am stepping into that mess.

Yesterday evening the better 2/3's had the news turned on, one of the Indianapolis stations. During a segment they were presenting the new race enforcement officer (whatever it was the position is titled) in schools. And a book included in the presented imagery was Animal Farm. I shuddered to think how that was going to be used to
a) Increase resentment
b) Teach collective guilt

And that segment was what started the conversation during our couch time and what promulgated starting this thread.
Maybe the country needs a collective uprising to end political stupidity. Something like participation in government. Activism for sanity.

There would be a lot more racing.

I'll have a Coke...............

 

[JettaKnight]

I'd bring back refueling to F1.


2.2 second pit stops are fun to watch, but I miss fuel strategy.

 

[NKBJ]

Those guys were into meth.
Not the racing guys, the new age nitwit race guys.

And you had the go ahead to implement the changes needed, what would you do first?
Thought about and decided that was easy, but what about you fellas? What would you do?

If You Were Appointed Race Czar ...

Move the US Gran Prix to Watkins Glen or Laguna Seca, harmonize and blend Le Mans Prototype and American Le Mans and start a touring car racing series in the US

Le Mans is where it’s at anymore. And dirt tracks

I agree. The strategy adds to the excitement of a race, people short pitting and others staying out gambling.

Of what series.....?????

No matter what series, I would dictate (cause that's just how Czars be) all races be held on figure 8 tracks hence forth.

Mike Wallace: How are we going to get rid of racism until...?
Morgan Freeman (cutting him off): Stop talking about it!

If I were “Race Czar” I’d get rid of those two stinking chicanes on the Mulsanne Straight and reduce maximum engine displacement to prevent Mercedes-Benz cars from trying to become airplanes.

I’d return F1 race distances to 500 km plus 1 lap; let’s see whether those jewel-box engines can survive for more than 90 minutes on track.

I'd get rid of the required milk bottle at the Indy 500 winners circle.

Give the driver a beer. Or champagne.

Milk. yuck

Maybe we need to bring back “Water From Wilbur” (Shaw), like it was before the American Dairy Association horned in?

Nothing wrong with milk—as long as you’re not stupid enough to pour it over yourself in Victory Lane.

I wonder whether the directors of Möet & Chandon had heart failure when Dan Gurney sprayed their champagne around after winning LeMans in 1966.

Besides, who would want a California champagne in Indianapolis, anyway?

 

[Alpo]

Moet?

CHEEEEP

A bottle of Cristal, at least.

Or a PBR.

Some guys love their PBR.

Jose Cuervo, maybe?
They could play Santana’s “Tequila” during the celebration.

Oh, I didn't know that thumbs up was a NAZI symbol.
