    What do elderly people do after they regulated a sport to death? Yup
    they make even more and more absurd regulations in an poor attempt to
    undue the results of their previous silly regulations.

    Again, you refer to 'elderly people' who write the rules. Who are these people and what makes them 'elderly'?

    He, He, He!
    Over on a facebook group, one person is arguing /opinioning
    that the old drivers like Raikkonen, Vettel, and Hamilton
    should retire to open up seats for the new young drivers.
    He argued that Hamilton was 'almost 40'!

    Well!!!!!
    Is 35, the new 'ancient'??
    Is Edmund trying to dig at us 'mature' fans?

    Sheesh. Rude thoughts.
    Well, I'll admit, I'm gradually winding it down.
    I nominated someone else to take my seat on the
    board of directors at my local motor sports club.
    I've gotten 2 of my 4 race cars sold in last 3 years.
    A potential buyer is coming this weekend to check out
    the 3rd that is for sale.

    With all the Corvid-19 concerns, and restrictions on
    'social distancing', several of us that have 'experience',
    are evaluating how we should participate in our shortened
    race season this year.

    Brutal reality, in my state, 90% of the caronavirus deaths
    are patients that are over age 60. (But, kind of, on the
    other hand, 52% were over age 80!!)
