Thanks to all who responded to my post. I'm glad it engendered a little friendly telescope talk.🙂

They'll never do this today in Hollywood.

Rich, it was nice, but a Saints victory against Buffalo would have made it a little nicer.🏈😆

Formula 1 Auto Racing

Posted By Darian Rachal

I'm just curious if there are any Formula 1 fan here? I accidentally stumbled on it one Sunday morning earlier this year and have kept up with it ever since. The season is over and will not start up until March.

Mel, it's my understanding that the F1 cars are designed to have incredible downforce to increase traction. The faster they go the more downforce.

It amazes me that they can make a pit stop in less than 2.5 seconds. I wonder how much those tires cost?
