00:00:00.195 --> 00:00:01.485
This is off track.
2
00:00:02.815 --> 00:00:05.525
Hello and welcome to Off Track with Hinch and Rosses.
3
00:00:05.585 --> 00:00:07.005
No, nope. Shut up. Shut up.
4
00:00:07.135 --> 00:00:08.205
We're all watching Ben.
5
00:00:10.005 --> 00:00:12.975
Well, I was hoping he, he would make some noise right
6
00:00:12.995 --> 00:00:14.495
as the recording started,
7
00:00:15.315 --> 00:00:17.455
but, um, we need to work on his timing.
8
00:00:17.835 --> 00:00:20.335
Uh, no wonder he doesn't have a job yet. Um,
9
00:00:21.015 --> 00:00:22.015
Yeah.
10
00:00:22.015 --> 00:00:23.655
The meeting to talk to about that. He's kind of slacking.
11
00:00:23.805 --> 00:00:25.255
It's a little embarrassing.
12
00:00:25.745 --> 00:00:30.535
Trust me. I'm aware. Um, well, indie got a lot of snow, so
13
00:00:31.175 --> 00:00:33.575
everyone's, everyone's home stuck at home today.
14
00:00:33.595 --> 00:00:37.185
So here we are, uh, we have a little guest with us,
15
00:00:37.395 --> 00:00:40.425
which is bud. Hi dude.
16
00:00:41.425 --> 00:00:43.345
Hmm. My favorite thing, .
17
00:00:45.495 --> 00:00:47.065
He's definitely, he likes the microphone.
18
00:00:47.065 --> 00:00:49.185
He's that microphone but away. He likes the microphone,
19
00:00:49.655 --> 00:00:50.745
even though he is pushing it away.
20
00:00:50.785 --> 00:00:52.065
I think it's really an act of love.
21
00:00:52.765 --> 00:00:56.785
Um, I have thoroughly been enjoying,
22
00:00:57.005 --> 00:00:59.065
as have the rest of the group chat.
23
00:00:59.565 --> 00:01:01.545
Uh, I have not, Kelly's
24
00:01:04.215 --> 00:01:07.785
Kelly's recent discovery of AI tools
25
00:01:08.725 --> 00:01:13.505
and, uh, she has been now having AI generate photos
26
00:01:13.605 --> 00:01:15.465
of Ben doing some pretty impressive
27
00:01:15.465 --> 00:01:16.465
stuff.
.
28
00:01:17.695 --> 00:01:20.465
What? It's unbelievable that he could be doing handstands
29
00:01:20.465 --> 00:01:21.505
and cooking pancakes.
30
00:01:21.805 --> 00:01:24.425
Uh, yes. It's quite frankly, yes.
31
00:01:24.485 --> 00:01:26.265
That's, that seems a little ridiculous,
32
00:01:26.405 --> 00:01:28.825
but I mean, he looks adorable when he fake. Does it?
33
00:01:29.615 --> 00:01:33.905
Yeah. Yeah. Um, it's funny how, how AI still
34
00:01:34.175 --> 00:01:35.385
with all of the money
35
00:01:35.685 --> 00:01:38.865
and smart people behind it have not figured out
36
00:01:38.955 --> 00:01:40.665
hands. Like that is still
37
00:01:41.645 --> 00:01:42.645
Yes.
38
00:01:42.645 --> 00:01:46.225
The dead giveaway and, and text, like hands and text.
39
00:01:46.455 --> 00:01:48.025
They really, yeah. It's still struggling.
40
00:01:48.415 --> 00:01:49.505
Well, I feel like, I feel like there's some things
41
00:01:49.505 --> 00:01:52.145
that they intentionally don't like copy on text
42
00:01:52.145 --> 00:01:55.345
because there's the opportunity to get into some trouble,
43
00:01:55.975 --> 00:01:57.145
Like copyright issues.
44
00:01:57.735 --> 00:01:59.025
Yeah.
I
45
00:01:59.025 --> 00:02:00.025
See.
46
00:02:00.025 --> 00:02:01.425
So that might be an intentional thing. I
47
00:02:01.425 --> 00:02:02.185
See. I see.
48
00:02:02.285 --> 00:02:04.665
Um, but yes, no, my, my my,
49
00:02:04.995 --> 00:02:07.065
where I thought you were actually going with that was like,
50
00:02:07.595 --> 00:02:10.945
we've got this remarkable tool that has the potential to,
51
00:02:11.205 --> 00:02:13.745
and is currently changing the world
52
00:02:14.485 --> 00:02:17.105
and it has almost unlimited capabilities,
53
00:02:17.725 --> 00:02:19.185
and yet you give it to people
54
00:02:19.365 --> 00:02:21.345
and they just make pictures of their babies,
55
00:02:21.445 --> 00:02:23.025
riding dogs through the snow .
56
00:02:25.185 --> 00:02:26.665
I mean, how is that not making the
57
00:02:26.665 --> 00:02:27.705
world a better place, James?
58
00:02:27.885 --> 00:02:30.865
No, no, it is. I I'm just saying that's like,
59
00:02:31.245 --> 00:02:35.985
that's like buying, that's like buying a $50,000 camera
60
00:02:37.085 --> 00:02:38.705
and just leaving it on automatic
61
00:02:38.765 --> 00:02:41.745
and just taking photos at like Christmas of the family.
62
00:02:42.115 --> 00:02:46.785
Right. The capabilities of AI are so vast
63
00:02:47.005 --> 00:02:49.185
and we just use it for dumb stuff like that.
64
00:02:49.385 --> 00:02:50.985
I mean, I do the same thing. This is not a,
65
00:02:50.985 --> 00:02:52.065
this is not a shot at Kelly.
66
00:02:52.215 --> 00:02:54.425
This is more an indictment of society as a whole.
67
00:02:54.615 --> 00:02:56.465
It's like, look at this incredible tool we've made.
68
00:02:56.465 --> 00:02:59.725
It could shape the future and change humanity forever.
69
00:02:59.865 --> 00:03:03.965
And we're like, yeah, but funny memes though. . Look
70
00:03:03.965 --> 00:03:05.125
At him doing a handstand .
71
00:03:05.635 --> 00:03:07.605
Look at doing a handstand with his backwards hands.
72
00:03:07.605 --> 00:03:10.485
Little, little freaky, little freaky baby.
73
00:03:11.705 --> 00:03:14.525
Oh, I do love a snow day though. This is, I'm excited.
74
00:03:14.865 --> 00:03:17.485
Um, I was just out driving around in,
75
00:03:17.745 --> 00:03:20.365
in Indianapolis, and you know what?
76
00:03:20.365 --> 00:03:22.685
They've done a pretty good job. All things considered, uh,
77
00:03:22.685 --> 00:03:23.805
trying to clear up the roads.
78
00:03:23.985 --> 00:03:25.965
Not great, but for the Midwest, pretty good
79
00:03:26.105 --> 00:03:27.245
and for a good amount of snow.
80
00:03:27.985 --> 00:03:31.325
Um, I just Ms. Snow days as a kid, I guess.
81
00:03:32.065 --> 00:03:34.325
Tim, did you ever have those? Was it ever snowy?
82
00:03:34.445 --> 00:03:36.085
I know about the big snowstorm was 78,
83
00:03:36.305 --> 00:03:37.485
but that was a little before your time.
84
00:03:38.225 --> 00:03:41.885
It would snow a lot. My school was like, they,
85
00:03:41.885 --> 00:03:44.645
they prided themselves on not doing snow days.
86
00:03:45.065 --> 00:03:46.125
So in the 12 years,
87
00:03:46.125 --> 00:03:47.365
That's the, why would you go to that school?
88
00:03:47.525 --> 00:03:50.125
I know. It was awful. And the 12 years that I went to
89
00:03:50.125 --> 00:03:54.845
that school, we had a single snow day, uh, that said,
90
00:03:54.915 --> 00:03:58.365
like, I I, we had a few two hour delays.
91
00:03:58.805 --> 00:04:01.285
I do remember though, like how much fun it would be
92
00:04:01.305 --> 00:04:05.005
as a kid when it would be just buckets of snow outside
93
00:04:05.025 --> 00:04:06.845
and you'd go build a fort, right, .
94
00:04:07.205 --> 00:04:08.645
Yeah. Like if you had enough,
95
00:04:08.645 --> 00:04:10.005
you'd just build it with the snow as is.
96
00:04:10.065 --> 00:04:12.245
But then like, if, if it wasn't enough, you'd just wait
97
00:04:12.245 --> 00:04:13.245
for them to plow.
98
00:04:13.525 --> 00:04:15.485
'cause then you'd have the big bank of snow
99
00:04:15.585 --> 00:04:17.365
and dig in the tunnels and things like that.
100
00:04:17.435 --> 00:04:19.125
Yeah, yeah. Tunnel in the bank.
101
00:04:19.195 --> 00:04:20.925
Snow
Is good. So I, I've been feeling pretty jealous
102
00:04:20.925 --> 00:04:24.085
looking at all the pictures of, uh, of snow, uh,
103
00:04:24.215 --> 00:04:26.525
everywhere else in the country except for California.
104
00:04:27.435 --> 00:04:31.005
Well, I will, I will, um, say, so I have a,
105
00:04:31.765 --> 00:04:33.005
I have a snow threshold.
106
00:04:33.545 --> 00:04:36.925
Um, and, and it, it was time or height?
107
00:04:37.185 --> 00:04:39.965
Height amount. Quantity. Yeah.
108
00:04:40.065 --> 00:04:43.085
Um, because I, I really enjoy
109
00:04:44.005 --> 00:04:46.455
shoveling my driveway and my front path
110
00:04:46.635 --> 00:04:47.655
and, and all that sort of thing.
111
00:04:47.655 --> 00:04:50.655
Like it's, it's good exercise, it's satisfying, it's all
112
00:04:50.655 --> 00:04:51.815
of this sort of things.
113
00:04:51.915 --> 00:04:55.815
Mm-hmm . And for typical Indiana storms of your dairy
114
00:04:55.815 --> 00:04:58.495
Management, couple
A year, two to four inches.
115
00:04:59.075 --> 00:05:01.495
Um, it's a nice couple hour little, you're
116
00:05:01.495 --> 00:05:04.375
outside in the sunshine, you work up sweat even though it's
117
00:05:04.375 --> 00:05:06.255
cold out, blood going, it's great.
118
00:05:06.355 --> 00:05:09.295
11 to 12 inches is beyond that threshold.
119
00:05:09.395 --> 00:05:12.175
So for the first time in my life, I actually caved
120
00:05:12.175 --> 00:05:14.055
and I had my driveway plowed.
121
00:05:14.055 --> 00:05:15.935
And lemme tell you, it's nice.
122
00:05:16.445 --> 00:05:18.415
It's nice. It's a lot, it's a lot quicker
123
00:05:18.515 --> 00:05:19.935
and cleaner than shoveling it
124
00:05:19.935 --> 00:05:21.615
because you gotta like, your driveway's a decent
125
00:05:21.685 --> 00:05:22.695
size that that's Yeah.
126
00:05:22.695 --> 00:05:24.055
That's gonna take one dude a long time.
127
00:05:24.705 --> 00:05:26.455
Especially with, with a foot of snow,
128
00:05:26.455 --> 00:05:27.655
that would've been right,
129
00:05:27.785 --> 00:05:28.785
Right.
130
00:05:28.785 --> 00:05:30.895
Not great. And, and so like, we had a, an appointment to get
131
00:05:30.895 --> 00:05:31.935
to this morning at 8:00 AM
132
00:05:31.995 --> 00:05:34.615
and I'd forgotten that I had signed up for this
133
00:05:35.235 --> 00:05:37.615
and I opened the garage at seven 40
134
00:05:38.715 --> 00:05:40.415
and there was no snow in the driveway.
135
00:05:40.455 --> 00:05:44.615
I was like, wow. Now I haven't gotten the boys
136
00:05:44.635 --> 00:05:46.895
Yet, was never, never shoveling again.
137
00:05:47.675 --> 00:05:50.215
That's not true. Because I feel like the bill is gonna be
138
00:05:50.635 --> 00:05:51.735
way too high and
139
00:05:52.325 --> 00:05:53.325
Very upsetting.
140
00:05:53.325 --> 00:05:54.855
I feel like I'm just, I'm just gonna throw this out there
141
00:05:54.855 --> 00:05:56.095
without the knowledge of whether
142
00:05:56.095 --> 00:05:57.360
this is a good idea or, or not.
143
00:05:57.475 --> 00:05:59.245
Have you looked into getting a flame thrower
144
00:05:59.435 --> 00:06:00.685
That works way,
145
00:06:01.075 --> 00:06:03.765
that is way less effective, uh, than you think it is?
146
00:06:03.835 --> 00:06:06.845
Yeah, because yeah, Alex, we you were here when,
147
00:06:06.845 --> 00:06:08.125
But it seems like it'd be a lot of fun.
148
00:06:08.785 --> 00:06:11.085
Lot of fun. Not cost effective or time effective.
149
00:06:11.185 --> 00:06:12.765
We had our buddy Drew came over over
150
00:06:12.835 --> 00:06:15.965
Leaf leaf blowers are about as fun as
151
00:06:16.185 --> 00:06:17.445
and as effective. I think
152
00:06:18.065 --> 00:06:19.685
Way less fun. Way less fun.
153
00:06:19.985 --> 00:06:21.885
Way less fun if it doesn't shoot flame.
154
00:06:22.155 --> 00:06:24.285
What leaf blower do you use? Yeah.
155
00:06:24.705 --> 00:06:26.725
You're still, you're still blowing snow.
156
00:06:27.625 --> 00:06:29.725
No, that's
Not the fun part of a flame flower.
157
00:06:30.035 --> 00:06:34.085
Yeah. This is bizarre.
Fair. Yeah. Yeah.
158
00:06:35.185 --> 00:06:37.525
Is worse than your dead body in the the lazy river
159
00:06:37.535 --> 00:06:38.535
thing.
.
160
00:06:38.935 --> 00:06:40.525
Which by the way, that's,
161
00:06:40.525 --> 00:06:42.805
that's a perfect segue if we're done on snow,
162
00:06:43.235 --> 00:06:47.965
that segues perfectly into, um, this weekend,
163
00:06:48.345 --> 00:06:52.365
uh, this past weekend at Daytona for the Rolex 24
164
00:06:53.145 --> 00:06:56.205
and before, no, nobody died in a big body of water.
165
00:06:56.365 --> 00:06:57.485
I don't, that's not where I'm going with
166
00:06:57.485 --> 00:06:58.045
This. I was wondering,
167
00:06:59.035 --> 00:07:01.235
I had a lot of people though, come up to me.
168
00:07:01.325 --> 00:07:03.275
First of all guys, just thanks for listening.
169
00:07:03.735 --> 00:07:06.555
We got a lot of fans in the InSpa had a lot
170
00:07:06.555 --> 00:07:08.355
of people come up to me over the weekend, our fans
171
00:07:08.355 --> 00:07:09.635
of the show, and we really appreciate it.
172
00:07:09.995 --> 00:07:13.235
A lot of people were sharing their opinions on dead bodies
173
00:07:13.615 --> 00:07:15.675
in, in large quantities of water.
174
00:07:16.295 --> 00:07:18.755
And, um, I, I'm not gonna lie, Tim,
175
00:07:19.195 --> 00:07:21.155
overwhelming majority on our side,
176
00:07:21.575 --> 00:07:24.155
but Alex, I was shocked at how many people were kind
177
00:07:24.155 --> 00:07:26.155
of okay with your take on it. It's weird
178
00:07:26.155 --> 00:07:28.035
Because I, I went to a, uh,
179
00:07:28.215 --> 00:07:32.035
Butler University men's college basketball game, uh,
180
00:07:32.175 --> 00:07:35.275
on Friday night and shout to other people that listen
181
00:07:35.275 --> 00:07:40.075
to the show and, uh, overwhelming majority agreed with me.
182
00:07:40.295 --> 00:07:41.435
So I feel like you're No,
183
00:07:41.615 --> 00:07:42.755
Not buying that. There's just no way. That's true.
184
00:07:43.255 --> 00:07:44.675
No, there's,
There's just no way. That's true.
185
00:07:45.535 --> 00:07:48.915
It is deadly. True. Actually, ,
186
00:07:51.215 --> 00:07:53.955
Uh, I got more than one person yelling at
187
00:07:53.955 --> 00:07:55.075
us for eating on air.
188
00:07:55.275 --> 00:08:00.035
'cause they have that like me or whatever it's called. Yeah.
189
00:08:00.565 --> 00:08:02.395
Misophonia.
I think that's the one.
190
00:08:02.775 --> 00:08:05.075
So they were like, I had one, I had one woman like,
191
00:08:05.215 --> 00:08:06.515
beg me to stop eating on air.
192
00:08:06.515 --> 00:08:07.715
And I, I'm just like, I can't do that.
193
00:08:07.955 --> 00:08:10.075
'cause it, it bugs Tim so much
194
00:08:10.345 --> 00:08:12.755
that even though it offends you, one of our fans, fans,
195
00:08:12.755 --> 00:08:16.395
fans, my my desire to ruin Tim's day is
196
00:08:16.415 --> 00:08:19.635
so much greater than it is to fix, you know,
197
00:08:19.635 --> 00:08:20.675
anybody listening's day.
198
00:08:20.775 --> 00:08:23.915
So what I agreed to was we would give slight
199
00:08:24.115 --> 00:08:25.475
warnings when it was coming.
200
00:08:25.975 --> 00:08:28.195
So if you have mesothelioma
201
00:08:28.375 --> 00:08:32.835
or whatever for the next 10 seconds, mute your podcast.
202
00:08:35.065 --> 00:08:37.675
It's all right. Because I enjoy ruining your day so much.
203
00:08:38.235 --> 00:08:39.755
I broke into the fast garage
204
00:08:39.815 --> 00:08:40.875
and messed with you guys breaks.
205
00:08:41.775 --> 00:08:45.755
Wow. Wow. Okay. All right. So perfect. Wow.
206
00:08:46.215 --> 00:08:50.395
Um, Daytona, uh, James. Yeah. Is that what happened?
207
00:08:50.625 --> 00:08:52.635
Because yeah, I was watching
208
00:08:52.695 --> 00:08:54.595
and you were like, first through fifth
209
00:08:54.735 --> 00:08:57.525
and then I stopped watching and then you were lapped down
210
00:08:58.225 --> 00:09:00.045
and then you didn't tell me why. So
211
00:09:00.755 --> 00:09:02.005
Your
Brakes failed. Well,
212
00:09:02.455 --> 00:09:04.565
First of all, let me just add in one last
213
00:09:04.565 --> 00:09:05.765
thing about Offtrack fans.
214
00:09:05.965 --> 00:09:08.685
I got a lot of Sour Patch kids over the weekend, um, .
215
00:09:10.065 --> 00:09:13.085
And, and the funniest part was did you throw
216
00:09:13.245 --> 00:09:14.245
'em out?
217
00:09:14.245 --> 00:09:16.325
No baby little baby. The here's the baby boy.
218
00:09:16.905 --> 00:09:18.645
So I opened up the first pack
219
00:09:18.965 --> 00:09:20.805
'cause they were, I had so many packs sitting there.
220
00:09:20.845 --> 00:09:21.845
I was like, I gotta have some, because
221
00:09:22.405 --> 00:09:23.525
I love Sour Patch Kids.
222
00:09:23.605 --> 00:09:25.365
I was always, I was never up for debate. I don't,
223
00:09:25.825 --> 00:09:27.205
That's not, I remember that. Yeah.
224
00:09:27.305 --> 00:09:29.365
But here's, oh God, I hate, you hate so much kids
225
00:09:29.365 --> 00:09:30.365
And you hate Candy .
226
00:09:31.145 --> 00:09:34.485
Oh. So I opened the first one.
227
00:09:34.485 --> 00:09:35.525
I was like, I'll just have a couple
228
00:09:36.145 --> 00:09:38.525
and would you know it not even because of you.
229
00:09:39.205 --> 00:09:41.285
I ended up finishing the whole bag and I'm like this,
230
00:09:41.625 --> 00:09:44.245
and now I'm, now I'm copping <inaudible> for something
231
00:09:44.245 --> 00:09:45.645
that I don't even actually do.
232
00:09:45.805 --> 00:09:48.765
Apparently I still polish off an entire bag. So whatever.
233
00:09:49.055 --> 00:09:50.765
Thank you for the Sour Patch Kids.
234
00:09:51.225 --> 00:09:53.365
My tongue is still raw, but I did enjoy it.
235
00:09:53.605 --> 00:09:54.885
I haven't had in a while. I feel like we should,
236
00:09:55.305 --> 00:09:57.005
we should like, be strategic about
237
00:09:57.005 --> 00:09:58.125
the things we say we don't like.
238
00:09:58.305 --> 00:10:00.605
If people are just gonna give them to us, like, ah,
239
00:10:00.775 --> 00:10:03.045
don't you just hate how like gold Bullon feels?
240
00:10:03.315 --> 00:10:07.005
Yeah. I hate, I hate stacks of 10 grand. Yeah.
241
00:10:07.285 --> 00:10:10.405
I, you know, didn't say I hate them.
242
00:10:10.965 --> 00:10:13.205
I like he them did. Oh my God.
243
00:10:13.445 --> 00:10:15.605
I hate,
I hate having way I got them in a
244
00:10:15.605 --> 00:10:16.765
Way because I use it too quickly.
245
00:10:17.485 --> 00:10:19.205
I just hate,
You know, what would be the worst thing,
246
00:10:19.225 --> 00:10:21.405
the worst thing for me right now would be like a bunch
247
00:10:21.405 --> 00:10:22.885
of shares of Berkshire Hathaway.
248
00:10:23.285 --> 00:10:25.005
I just like, do you know, that would annoy me.
249
00:10:26.745 --> 00:10:28.645
No. Do you know what Alex really hates?
250
00:10:28.645 --> 00:10:30.845
Guys Hugs from strangers, .
251
00:10:32.045 --> 00:10:33.965
And that's a lot cheaper than stacks of cash.
252
00:10:34.305 --> 00:10:37.205
So if you feel inclined, just, just go up
253
00:10:37.205 --> 00:10:38.445
and hug 'em. Here's the thing, James, unannounced,
254
00:10:38.625 --> 00:10:39.625
You can't mail those .
255
00:10:40.545 --> 00:10:43.045
No. But enough, enough people show up to your place
256
00:10:43.045 --> 00:10:45.885
of work, your place of employ that.
257
00:10:46.025 --> 00:10:48.285
Uh, yeah. Anyway, back to the race.
258
00:10:48.745 --> 00:10:52.245
Um, yes, Alex, we did have a bit of a problem.
259
00:10:52.665 --> 00:10:56.045
So the weekend shocker was good.
260
00:10:56.595 --> 00:10:58.525
That was not a slight at faf, that's just,
261
00:10:58.745 --> 00:11:00.685
no, it's Daytona. It's just
262
00:11:00.685 --> 00:11:01.685
Daytona.
263
00:11:01.685 --> 00:11:03.245
It doesn't have a problem unless you're the six or seven.
264
00:11:03.835 --> 00:11:04.835
Anyways,
265
00:11:05.625 --> 00:11:08.885
So, um, yeah, we had had a pretty good week of practice.
266
00:11:09.385 --> 00:11:12.925
Our car was not like our, I I mean, I hate to say it
267
00:11:12.925 --> 00:11:14.365
and apparently you're not supposed to talk about it,
268
00:11:14.385 --> 00:11:17.965
but like, our BOP wasn't great in the sense that
269
00:11:18.585 --> 00:11:20.245
our car was not very quick on the strait.
270
00:11:20.905 --> 00:11:22.325
It was really good in the infield.
271
00:11:22.465 --> 00:11:25.885
So like, overlap we're, I mean, we actually weren't
272
00:11:25.885 --> 00:11:26.885
that close in qualifying.
273
00:11:26.885 --> 00:11:28.365
We were pretty far off, but we could
274
00:11:28.365 --> 00:11:29.525
make up some time on the infield.
275
00:11:29.545 --> 00:11:30.805
But you lose so much time on the straight,
276
00:11:30.865 --> 00:11:34.365
and unfortunately at Daytona to get passes done,
277
00:11:34.745 --> 00:11:36.165
you need straight line speed
278
00:11:36.305 --> 00:11:38.685
or to avoid getting past, you need straight line speed.
279
00:11:38.865 --> 00:11:41.325
So, Hmm. We were up against it a little bit.
280
00:11:42.145 --> 00:11:46.245
But that said, we started 10th, I think Sandy kicked us off
281
00:11:46.245 --> 00:11:47.725
and he was doing a remarkable job.
282
00:11:47.985 --> 00:11:49.565
Got us up into like eighth, I think.
283
00:11:51.315 --> 00:11:53.605
I took over, got a, we got a speeding penalty
284
00:11:53.675 --> 00:11:56.085
because the car was accidentally in the wrong gear.
285
00:11:56.265 --> 00:11:59.365
And evidently the PLC is based off gear
286
00:11:59.365 --> 00:12:02.125
and RPM rather than wheel speed, which seems nuts.
287
00:12:02.345 --> 00:12:03.365
So we're gonna look into that.
288
00:12:03.785 --> 00:12:05.365
So did a drive through, fell all the way to the back,
289
00:12:05.505 --> 00:12:07.165
and then got back up to eighth.
290
00:12:07.185 --> 00:12:09.605
By the time my stints were done, handed it over,
291
00:12:10.585 --> 00:12:13.645
and then the next time I, I kind
292
00:12:13.645 --> 00:12:15.085
of disappeared to go have a nap.
293
00:12:15.185 --> 00:12:17.445
And when I looked again, we were five laps down.
294
00:12:18.025 --> 00:12:21.925
So evidently I hate that. What happened? I hate that so bad.
295
00:12:22.305 --> 00:12:24.765
So we had, we had a, a, a part of the,
296
00:12:25.025 --> 00:12:26.605
of the right front caliper fail.
297
00:12:26.985 --> 00:12:29.485
And so not a failure they'd ever seen before.
298
00:12:29.635 --> 00:12:32.405
Like one of those things. Right? Of course, of course.
299
00:12:32.545 --> 00:12:34.685
Um, so yeah, five laps to get it fixed
300
00:12:34.785 --> 00:12:36.165
by the time it was all said and done.
301
00:12:37.805 --> 00:12:41.065
And what was amazing about that?
302
00:12:41.135 --> 00:12:42.865
Okay, so, so we're five laps down now,
303
00:12:43.245 --> 00:12:44.465
and it's like, okay, now we're
304
00:12:44.465 --> 00:12:45.545
just out there trying to get laps back.
305
00:12:45.545 --> 00:12:48.145
We, we still had 14 hours, I think left in the race.
306
00:12:48.175 --> 00:12:49.745
Like, let's just go get some laps back.
307
00:12:50.845 --> 00:12:54.545
And I, so I got back in
308
00:12:55.475 --> 00:12:56.895
and right at the end of my stint,
309
00:12:56.895 --> 00:12:58.335
we went full co my second stint.
310
00:12:58.335 --> 00:13:00.015
So like my time in the car, we got a full course
311
00:13:00.015 --> 00:13:01.135
caution for fog.
312
00:13:02.145 --> 00:13:04.165
Mm-hmm. So I jumped outta the car
313
00:13:04.905 --> 00:13:07.685
and under that caution, we put Andrea in
314
00:13:07.685 --> 00:13:09.565
who was gonna be finishing for us later.
315
00:13:10.545 --> 00:13:13.645
And the fog really set in and got comfy.
316
00:13:14.785 --> 00:13:17.245
So I had left and I was supposed to be done for the night,
317
00:13:17.985 --> 00:13:19.405
and I went
318
00:13:19.405 --> 00:13:21.365
and grabbed a little bite to eat, head back
319
00:13:21.365 --> 00:13:24.405
to the motor home, had my nice little bowl of pasta
320
00:13:24.825 --> 00:13:28.485
and was just winding down and was about to go to bed.
321
00:13:29.025 --> 00:13:31.965
And my phone rings and it's like, or tech, it buzzes.
322
00:13:31.965 --> 00:13:33.605
It's like, Hey, you up.
323
00:13:33.745 --> 00:13:35.805
It was like, it was like the race car
324
00:13:35.805 --> 00:13:37.005
version of a booty call.
325
00:13:37.145 --> 00:13:40.005
It was like, you up. And I was like, oh,
326
00:13:40.125 --> 00:13:41.325
I had a feeling this was coming.
327
00:13:41.745 --> 00:13:42.765
And so like, yeah,
328
00:13:43.195 --> 00:13:46.565
this fog on the forecast is not going anywhere for a while
329
00:13:46.705 --> 00:13:48.925
and we'd like to give Andrea a bit more time to rest,
330
00:13:49.105 --> 00:13:50.685
so like, if you don't mind.
331
00:13:51.065 --> 00:13:52.525
And I was like, yeah, I'll do it.
332
00:13:53.145 --> 00:13:55.765
So they come, they pick me back up, I go back in.
333
00:13:55.925 --> 00:13:57.045
I spent two hours.
334
00:13:57.345 --> 00:13:58.725
So Andrea had been in the car
335
00:13:58.745 --> 00:14:00.725
for like 30 minutes, 40 minutes.
336
00:14:01.205 --> 00:14:04.725
I go back in two hours driving around under caution,
337
00:14:06.695 --> 00:14:08.515
let me tell you, not great.
338
00:14:09.455 --> 00:14:13.155
Not a ton of fun. So like, you just make a game out of like,
339
00:14:13.155 --> 00:14:15.115
how much energy can you save a lap?
340
00:14:15.115 --> 00:14:16.355
Like what's the lowest amount
341
00:14:16.355 --> 00:14:18.155
of energy use you can do in a lap?
342
00:14:18.175 --> 00:14:20.795
And like that keeps you, keeps your mind occupied.
343
00:14:21.175 --> 00:14:23.435
The crew is great. We were like cracking jokes back
344
00:14:23.435 --> 00:14:25.995
and forth and like just doing an a MA on Twitter
345
00:14:25.995 --> 00:14:29.195
through the radio, whatever we could to get through it.
346
00:14:29.645 --> 00:14:32.675
After two hours, I was now up against the rule
347
00:14:32.785 --> 00:14:35.435
that is you cannot drive more than four hours
348
00:14:35.615 --> 00:14:36.715
in a six hour window.
349
00:14:37.335 --> 00:14:38.835
So they had to pull me outta the car.
350
00:14:39.265 --> 00:14:42.475
They put miracle in the car, heated two hours,
351
00:14:44.225 --> 00:14:47.085
and then we got Sandy back in the car and heated an hour
352
00:14:47.085 --> 00:14:48.165
before it went green again.
353
00:14:48.385 --> 00:14:51.725
So it was like a, I think it was like a six hour caution
354
00:14:51.905 --> 00:14:52.965
by the time it was all said and done.
355
00:14:53.035 --> 00:14:54.605
Long, longest to NIMS of history,
356
00:14:55.035 --> 00:14:57.805
Longest NIMS of history, little part of history, which is,
357
00:14:57.805 --> 00:14:59.005
you know, it's nice to be part of history.
358
00:14:59.465 --> 00:15:02.285
Um, that's like, that's like two Indy, five hundreds
359
00:15:03.075 --> 00:15:05.335
of driving around under caution time-wise.
360
00:15:05.435 --> 00:15:08.455
Mm, mm-hmm . Think about that. That's awful.
361
00:15:09.045 --> 00:15:11.335
It's just, it's just terrible.
362
00:15:12.115 --> 00:15:13.495
But we got great again
363
00:15:13.515 --> 00:15:15.255
and it gave the other two, um,
364
00:15:15.395 --> 00:15:17.215
the two full-time guys a chance to rest.
365
00:15:17.555 --> 00:15:19.055
And so I went to bed
366
00:15:19.055 --> 00:15:20.815
after that, obviously about like 5:00 AM
367
00:15:20.815 --> 00:15:21.895
five 30, something like that.
368
00:15:23.305 --> 00:15:24.725
And when I woke up around eight
369
00:15:24.725 --> 00:15:28.765
or nine, we were only two laps down.
370
00:15:29.705 --> 00:15:32.875
And then by the time I got up to the pit box,
371
00:15:32.895 --> 00:15:33.915
we were only one lap down.
372
00:15:34.295 --> 00:15:35.475
And then with two hours to go,
373
00:15:35.535 --> 00:15:37.115
we got our last or less than two hours to go.
374
00:15:37.115 --> 00:15:40.635
We got our last lap back and, uh, we were on the lead lap.
375
00:15:41.415 --> 00:15:43.435
We, we knew we didn't have the pace of the cars
376
00:15:43.435 --> 00:15:44.755
that were leading our class,
377
00:15:45.135 --> 00:15:47.235
so we rolled the dice a little bit on strategy
378
00:15:47.535 --> 00:15:49.755
and it actually got us up to the front for a little while.
379
00:15:49.755 --> 00:15:53.075
Like, we led some laps in that last hour, hour and a half.
380
00:15:53.855 --> 00:15:56.275
Um, and we were kind of, we had kind
381
00:15:56.275 --> 00:15:58.675
of settled into fourth place.
382
00:15:59.375 --> 00:16:02.155
And then on the last like two laps, we were super,
383
00:16:02.285 --> 00:16:04.115
super critical on, on energy.
384
00:16:04.305 --> 00:16:07.395
It's not gas, it's energy, the way it's done on imsa.
385
00:16:07.695 --> 00:16:09.835
And so we had to go in like massive fuel save,
386
00:16:09.845 --> 00:16:12.155
ended up finishing six, crossed the line six.
387
00:16:12.255 --> 00:16:13.755
But, you know, we rolled the dice.
388
00:16:13.775 --> 00:16:15.555
We were trying to do something kind of cool, hope
389
00:16:15.555 --> 00:16:18.355
for a miracle a little bit, but just honestly super,
390
00:16:18.365 --> 00:16:20.875
super oppressed that we came back from five laps down,
391
00:16:21.055 --> 00:16:24.635
having missed six hours of green flag running, which is,
392
00:16:24.655 --> 00:16:25.835
you know, you're just trapped
393
00:16:25.945 --> 00:16:27.155
laps down when that's happening.
394
00:16:27.215 --> 00:16:30.115
So, mm. Um, huge effort from the team.
395
00:16:30.265 --> 00:16:32.875
Like, it's the first time that I finished on the lead lap
396
00:16:32.945 --> 00:16:37.755
with Faf , which is sad to say, but true progress.
397
00:16:37.755 --> 00:16:38.835
So, uh, progress, progress. We're,
398
00:16:38.835 --> 00:16:41.475
we're making progress last race for the Huan.
399
00:16:41.565 --> 00:16:45.235
Those guys are gonna debut the new Lambo, uh, Terio,
400
00:16:45.835 --> 00:16:47.235
GT three car in Sebring.
401
00:16:50.815 --> 00:16:52.595
But no, that was great, man. It was, it was,
402
00:16:52.595 --> 00:16:55.115
even though it was not the result at the end of the day
403
00:16:55.115 --> 00:16:57.235
that we wanted, we were all just kind of really proud
404
00:16:57.235 --> 00:16:59.155
of the, of the hustle and the team and the fight
405
00:16:59.155 --> 00:17:03.315
and the comeback and, um, it's the best I felt leaving
406
00:17:03.425 --> 00:17:05.075
that race in a long time.
407
00:17:06.065 --> 00:17:08.395
Even though you're like, you know, bummed about the result,
408
00:17:08.395 --> 00:17:11.155
especially when you were running at, you know, in the lead
409
00:17:11.155 --> 00:17:13.195
with 60 ish minutes to go.
410
00:17:13.695 --> 00:17:17.355
But, um, yeah, it was great man. No rain. We did it.
411
00:17:17.545 --> 00:17:19.915
That was one of the predictions I didn't check. Fastest lap.
412
00:17:20.095 --> 00:17:21.595
Do we know if Zech got fastest lap?
413
00:17:22.135 --> 00:17:25.555
He did not.
Okay. He did not. Well, it's, it was tough.
414
00:17:25.555 --> 00:17:27.715
Those, uh, those Penske Porsches were pretty quick.
415
00:17:28.255 --> 00:17:30.755
Um, I think the 31 car got the fastest lap though.
416
00:17:31.335 --> 00:17:34.195
Oh really? Okay. Yeah. So like halfway. Um,
417
00:17:34.455 --> 00:17:35.945
No, that's a lie.
418
00:17:36.045 --> 00:17:40.745
Oh, of course. All right, well the seven car
419
00:17:41.285 --> 00:17:44.025
had the fastest lap race winner led three cores
420
00:17:44.025 --> 00:17:45.825
of the race, yada, yada, yada.
421
00:17:46.285 --> 00:17:49.325
Um, you get one guess who is second fastest?
422
00:17:50.085 --> 00:17:52.405
Connor Zi? No, aj Almond Dinger.
423
00:17:52.745 --> 00:17:54.485
No. Someone that really needs a break.
424
00:17:54.875 --> 00:17:56.125
Alex Palolo. Yeah.
425
00:18:03.105 --> 00:18:04.125
of course.
426
00:18:05.705 --> 00:18:08.845
Of, and those cars like, weren't that good.
427
00:18:09.115 --> 00:18:12.645
Like they didn't have a lot of speed, unfortunately.
428
00:18:14.465 --> 00:18:16.805
No,
I guess he just, Alex ot it though.
429
00:18:18.015 --> 00:18:20.725
Uhhuh . Oh, I lied. He
Was third fastest.
430
00:18:21.185 --> 00:18:22.885
No, the sixth car was the fastest lap.
431
00:18:23.425 --> 00:18:26.245
Oh, okay.
And still, still second.
432
00:18:26.675 --> 00:18:29.645
Yeah. Uh, very impressive, uh, considering that.
433
00:18:29.645 --> 00:18:30.725
Mm-hmm. And, um,
434
00:18:31.185 --> 00:18:32.765
He may have had the second fastest lap,
435
00:18:32.765 --> 00:18:34.685
but at least he had the second best average as
436
00:18:34.685 --> 00:18:35.685
well.
,
437
00:18:36.425 --> 00:18:38.045
are you serious? Yep.
438
00:18:38.285 --> 00:18:40.645
'cause again, those cars were not on the same pace
439
00:18:40.745 --> 00:18:42.445
as the caddies and the PORs, and
440
00:18:42.445 --> 00:18:44.125
At least, at least it was, um,
441
00:18:44.305 --> 00:18:46.565
almost a second better than his teammate.
442
00:18:46.745 --> 00:18:49.045
So you're telling me this Palolo kid might have
443
00:18:49.125 --> 00:18:50.165
a future in this game?
444
00:18:50.595 --> 00:18:52.605
Well, on track. Hopefully there was money in
445
00:18:52.605 --> 00:18:53.605
It.
446
00:18:53.605 --> 00:18:54.005
Track, yeah. Not off track. .
447
00:18:54.475 --> 00:18:57.605
Yeah. Yeah. Um, I mean, do we talk about
448
00:18:57.605 --> 00:18:58.605
That?
449
00:18:58.605 --> 00:18:59.925
But we can, we can. No, we're gonna save that for Thursday.
450
00:19:00.015 --> 00:19:01.725
Let's, let's finish up Daytona.
451
00:19:02.025 --> 00:19:06.605
Um, so a that, that was probably very needed for,
452
00:19:06.705 --> 00:19:08.925
for all of faf, you know, Daytona mm-hmm .
453
00:19:09.065 --> 00:19:10.885
Um, has not been kind as you mentioned,
454
00:19:10.985 --> 00:19:13.045
has not been kind to them recently.
455
00:19:13.045 --> 00:19:16.565
They've been through a lot of uncertainty about the future
456
00:19:16.985 --> 00:19:18.885
and whether or not they're even gonna be racing
457
00:19:19.225 --> 00:19:22.245
and switching manufacturers and all of this sort of thing.
458
00:19:22.385 --> 00:19:24.525
So, um, I'm sure in the middle
459
00:19:24.525 --> 00:19:26.445
of the race when this was happening, it was just like
460
00:19:27.525 --> 00:19:31.845
probably, uh, a pretty solemn attitude and,
461
00:19:31.845 --> 00:19:33.925
Uh, to deja all over again
Right.
462
00:19:34.065 --> 00:19:37.655
To, to come out the other side of that with success,
463
00:19:37.855 --> 00:19:38.975
I would call that, um,
464
00:19:39.245 --> 00:19:40.775
must have been a good feeling for everyone.
465
00:19:40.875 --> 00:19:42.255
So good job, James.
466
00:19:43.355 --> 00:19:47.375
Um, the rest of the race was honestly,
467
00:19:47.635 --> 00:19:49.415
uh, pretty boring.
468
00:19:49.875 --> 00:19:52.295
Um, was it in the top class?
469
00:19:52.715 --> 00:19:55.575
Uh, the, the Porsche Penskes had the field covered.
470
00:19:56.435 --> 00:19:58.975
Um, really the, the whole race.
471
00:19:59.395 --> 00:20:04.255
Um, I would say the 31 car had a incredible comeback,
472
00:20:04.995 --> 00:20:09.895
um, because they, uh, had to give, had to do a drive
473
00:20:09.895 --> 00:20:14.535
through plus a 62nd stop after the, the massive fog caution
474
00:20:15.525 --> 00:20:18.215
because before the fog caution, um,
475
00:20:18.395 --> 00:20:19.655
or rather during it,
476
00:20:19.655 --> 00:20:22.095
they left pit lane when the light was red.
477
00:20:23.035 --> 00:20:25.135
Oh, no way. And they couldn't serve, they couldn't serve
478
00:20:25.135 --> 00:20:27.415
that penalty until it went back to green.
479
00:20:27.955 --> 00:20:32.695
Oh, damn.
And so they went a lap down
480
00:20:33.285 --> 00:20:36.695
with, I mean, time left, but only like, what was it?
481
00:20:36.695 --> 00:20:37.775
Five hours remaining.
482
00:20:37.775 --> 00:20:40.015
Five and a half hours remaining when it finally went green.
483
00:20:40.155 --> 00:20:42.495
So the fact that they got their lap back
484
00:20:42.635 --> 00:20:43.775
and drove through the field
485
00:20:44.115 --> 00:20:48.665
and almost, um, beat the seven car was a cool fight
486
00:20:48.665 --> 00:20:50.865
to watch, even though they, they came up short.
487
00:20:51.165 --> 00:20:55.945
Um, LMP two is always a super interesting class being
488
00:20:55.965 --> 00:20:57.545
as though it's, it's all spec.
489
00:20:58.165 --> 00:21:01.385
Um, Christian Rasmussen was on for
490
00:21:02.055 --> 00:21:05.185
another good looking result, it would seem heading
491
00:21:05.245 --> 00:21:06.345
for a second Rolex.
492
00:21:06.345 --> 00:21:09.425
And they got a puncture from the lead. Um, bummer.
493
00:21:09.425 --> 00:21:11.945
Which, which kind of took them out of it, which was, I mean,
494
00:21:11.945 --> 00:21:13.985
that's the second time in two years
495
00:21:13.985 --> 00:21:16.505
where they've had a failure of some sort from the lead.
496
00:21:17.125 --> 00:21:18.585
So that team, oh man.
497
00:21:18.585 --> 00:21:21.145
And that driver lineup is, is pretty legit. Let's see.
498
00:21:21.345 --> 00:21:23.185
L uh, it was cool story for LMP two
499
00:21:23.185 --> 00:21:26.825
because the, uh, CrowdStrike car and team finally won
500
00:21:26.825 --> 00:21:28.105
after all of that investment
501
00:21:28.245 --> 00:21:30.225
and everything that they have done, um,
502
00:21:30.695 --> 00:21:32.945
with the gentleman driver kind of running that program.
503
00:21:33.165 --> 00:21:34.905
So that's, that was a neat story.
504
00:21:35.405 --> 00:21:38.345
Gt D Pro, you obviously talked about your race.
505
00:21:38.685 --> 00:21:42.265
Um, it wasn't really a, a huge battle at the front.
506
00:21:43.245 --> 00:21:45.505
Um, yeah. But nonetheless, will power finished second.
507
00:21:46.185 --> 00:21:48.435
Yeah, I say the BM BMW won, which was funny
508
00:21:48.435 --> 00:21:52.035
because like it was kind of nowhere all, all month.
509
00:21:52.435 --> 00:21:53.435
I say all month. 'cause
510
00:21:53.435 --> 00:21:54.235
I feel like we were there for a month.
511
00:21:54.235 --> 00:21:56.155
It feels very in Ds doing that race now.
512
00:21:56.575 --> 00:21:59.435
Um, but everybody was talking about the speed of the Astons
513
00:21:59.435 --> 00:22:01.795
and the speed of the Mercks and the speed of the Fords
514
00:22:01.795 --> 00:22:02.995
and the Corvettes and,
515
00:22:03.295 --> 00:22:04.555
and then it was kind of everybody else.
516
00:22:04.775 --> 00:22:06.035
And BM BMW was lumped in
517
00:22:06.035 --> 00:22:07.675
that they had one car qualify really well
518
00:22:07.675 --> 00:22:09.835
and then at the end of the race their pace was just insane.
519
00:22:09.975 --> 00:22:11.915
So they played that one very well.
520
00:22:11.915 --> 00:22:13.795
Strategically, uh, credit to them.
521
00:22:13.815 --> 00:22:15.995
But yeah, power, like, yeah,
522
00:22:16.335 --> 00:22:18.195
had a little volume kn they cranked up at the end there.
523
00:22:18.375 --> 00:22:20.715
Mm-hmm. Hmm. . But yeah, power's car did a great job too,
524
00:22:21.055 --> 00:22:24.595
um, with Mo and, uh, Kenny HaBO
525
00:22:25.175 --> 00:22:26.555
and uh,
526
00:22:27.735 --> 00:22:29.515
Uh,
Marrow Engel.
527
00:22:30.295 --> 00:22:33.435
Um, thought he was gonna be on it for, uh,
528
00:22:33.495 --> 00:22:34.755
for a minute for a win.
529
00:22:35.165 --> 00:22:36.315
Nolan Siegel did a great job.
530
00:22:36.735 --> 00:22:39.595
Uh, his team ran strong for most of the race as well.
531
00:22:40.875 --> 00:22:43.235
Ericsson and Kirkwood, uh, kind
532
00:22:43.235 --> 00:22:44.835
of had I think similar days to me.
533
00:22:45.215 --> 00:22:48.635
Um, not at a ton of pace. Erickson was in the Lambo as well.
534
00:22:48.635 --> 00:22:49.995
Worse. Worse, yeah. Worse. And then,
535
00:22:50.015 --> 00:22:51.275
and then Kirkwood was in Lexus.
536
00:22:51.935 --> 00:22:53.515
Uh, they were struggling for Pace as well,
537
00:22:53.775 --> 00:22:55.235
but it's what it's, that's
538
00:22:55.235 --> 00:22:56.395
Cindy,
That's the, that's the,
539
00:22:56.695 --> 00:23:00.435
The last, the last storyline was, uh, in GTD, um,
540
00:23:00.505 --> 00:23:03.235
Scottie Mack was, was doing Scottie Mack things.
541
00:23:03.815 --> 00:23:06.635
Um, and they were looking very good, uh,
542
00:23:06.745 --> 00:23:07.875
with a couple hours to go.
543
00:23:08.375 --> 00:23:11.555
And the gearbox radiator got a puncture, so they,
544
00:23:12.445 --> 00:23:14.105
uh, finished DFL.
545
00:23:15.085 --> 00:23:18.145
So, uh, as we, as we all know,
546
00:23:18.415 --> 00:23:20.145
that event is brutal.
547
00:23:20.685 --> 00:23:25.665
Um, y once again, I, I didn't, I didn't miss it,
548
00:23:25.665 --> 00:23:27.545
especially when I woke up at 4:00 AM
549
00:23:27.545 --> 00:23:28.665
and I saw your fog yellow.
550
00:23:28.825 --> 00:23:31.145
I I did chuckle to myself, uh, for a little bit.
551
00:23:31.245 --> 00:23:33.065
I'm sure you did. I'm sure you did. Um,
552
00:23:33.605 --> 00:23:36.865
And I sat on my couch, uh, with a nice coffee
553
00:23:37.285 --> 00:23:38.625
and some sweats on and,
554
00:23:38.625 --> 00:23:40.545
and watched the finish in front of the fire. So,
555
00:23:41.335 --> 00:23:43.745
Well,
Pretty good way of doing it, James.
556
00:23:44.295 --> 00:23:47.045
Yeah. Yeah. It's the second best way to do it. I agree.
557
00:23:47.705 --> 00:23:49.845
Um, here's the thing though.
558
00:23:50.195 --> 00:23:51.765
It's, it's now race season guys.
559
00:23:51.835 --> 00:23:54.765
It's officially started, like no more sitting around.
560
00:23:55.195 --> 00:23:57.885
It's, it's here. Rolex has happened.
561
00:23:58.755 --> 00:24:00.245
Daytona five hundred's coming up.
562
00:24:00.685 --> 00:24:02.885
F one's testing on track as we speak.
563
00:24:03.875 --> 00:24:06.325
IndyCar, you know, not too far down the road.
564
00:24:06.985 --> 00:24:08.085
Um, you know, we're,
565
00:24:08.085 --> 00:24:10.205
we're a month away from the first IndyCar race.
566
00:24:10.865 --> 00:24:12.605
It is now. Like, that's why I always love Rolex.
567
00:24:12.765 --> 00:24:14.965
'cause it is like the unofficial kickoff to the, uh,
568
00:24:15.585 --> 00:24:17.485
the international racing scene.
569
00:24:17.525 --> 00:24:18.565
I know we already had Chili Bowl,
570
00:24:18.585 --> 00:24:22.045
but from the international side, this is, uh, this is it.
571
00:24:22.345 --> 00:24:27.005
And Ben has come back to give his final thoughts on, uh,
572
00:24:27.065 --> 00:24:28.885
his, his first Rolex 24.
573
00:24:34.935 --> 00:24:37.345
Nope, he doesn't wanna comment. That's no comment from Ben.
574
00:24:37.765 --> 00:24:40.985
Um, clearly not a Porsche fan. Uh,
575
00:24:41.705 --> 00:24:43.105
I think that was the comment, James.
576
00:24:43.335 --> 00:24:46.105
That was his, that was his opinion being registered.
577
00:24:46.625 --> 00:24:47.625
I mean, that was a, we
578
00:24:47.725 --> 00:24:50.185
We have to, we have to give a shout out to,
579
00:24:51.525 --> 00:24:53.145
to Porsche and to Penske.
580
00:24:53.145 --> 00:24:55.785
Yeah. Three years on the trot. Three in a row is tough.
581
00:24:55.965 --> 00:25:00.825
Is well, especially the same car. I mean the seven car.
582
00:25:00.855 --> 00:25:04.545
That is incredible. Um, I was a part of the seven car,
583
00:25:05.485 --> 00:25:08.185
and let me tell you, we did not win three in a
584
00:25:08.185 --> 00:25:09.185
row.
.
585
00:25:09.925 --> 00:25:11.865
We didn't win zero in a row. Mm.
586
00:25:12.045 --> 00:25:13.745
So, well, no, you did win zero in a row.
587
00:25:14.965 --> 00:25:17.745
We won zero in a row. You're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
588
00:25:18.455 --> 00:25:19.455
Yeah.
589
00:25:19.525 --> 00:25:22.025
Um, yeah, no, I mean, look, any, any
590
00:25:22.125 --> 00:25:26.985
of these Hallmark races, Daytona 24, Daytona 500, Indy 500,
591
00:25:27.165 --> 00:25:31.225
any of those things, Lamar it's, uh, it's difficult to win.
592
00:25:31.735 --> 00:25:33.785
It's difficult to go back to back
593
00:25:33.845 --> 00:25:35.825
and it's nearly impossible to do three in a row,
594
00:25:37.085 --> 00:25:39.545
um, as we've seen.
595
00:25:39.805 --> 00:25:43.905
But credit to them, uh, like you say, very impressive feat.
596
00:25:44.285 --> 00:25:46.265
Uh, congrats to all the class winners
597
00:25:46.725 --> 00:25:48.265
and good job by all the teams
598
00:25:48.645 --> 00:25:50.265
and everybody that slugged it out.
599
00:25:50.285 --> 00:25:52.465
All the fans record attendance for the race.
600
00:25:52.965 --> 00:25:55.545
So credit to AMSA and, and John Dunan
601
00:25:55.545 --> 00:25:58.145
and Daytona International Speedway for, uh,
602
00:25:58.815 --> 00:25:59.865
another great event.
603
00:26:00.045 --> 00:26:01.905
And like I said, unofficial start of the season.
604
00:26:02.575 --> 00:26:04.425
Here we go, buddy. Let's hear it. Let's stay
605
00:26:04.425 --> 00:26:05.425

Mm-hmm . Content Day. Mm-hmm.

We're gonna talk about some IndyCar news about teams that,
612

uh, or cars that won't be showing up.
613
00:26:21.165 --> 00:26:23.465
And we are going to talk about something else
614
00:26:23.695 --> 00:26:24.705
that I just forgot.
615
00:26:25.215 --> 00:26:27.305

cars on track for testing.
617
00:26:28.445 --> 00:26:29.745
