* If you’d rather not watch all the motorhead stuff, skip ahead to the 10:45 mark, switch to full-screen mode and enjoy the ride…

I’m telling you, it’s a blast. Hat tip to Kim Janssen.

* Keep it Illinois-centric and be polite to each other, please. Thanks.

That motorhead stuff is more exciting than last night’s Bears game.

“That motorhead stuff is more exciting than last night’s Bears game” Scores more points than the offense too.

If you like that check out the old GTI commercials that you can find on YouTube. Really creative and usually hilarious.

Why didn’t the Bears bring the offense to LA?

Looks like U of W is about to run out of quarterbacks. I think the Big 10 may regret their decision to restart things.

With IHSA basketball startingv this week, what’s the likelihood the season doesn’t get off the ground at the end of the month?

Full disclosure, I don’t really care if it does or doesn’t, just wondering if we are going to get some flare ups from parents that think their kids won’t win a NBA ring if theirs can’t play this year.

Between the Bears and the Illini, is there anyone in Illinois who can play offense. Anyone?

the B1G regulations concerning testing and sitting out after positive test, could mean teams could be sitting large numbers of players, including some “stars” for multiple games. Agree with Pundent, they wish they didn’t go down this road.

Nauseated after watching. Reminds me why I don’t ride roller coasters, read in the car or watch kids play some video games anymore.

Ahhh…the Nurburgring has always been a fantasy. I’ve done some track days at Road America and a couple of other places, but that’s the mother track. Would love to run it some day

Other than missing the playoffs, seriously why did the Bears fire Lovie at the end of the 2012 season? Other than 2018 and this year’s good start (so far) they haven’t done much since.

This article is three years old, but the Sporting News seems to think that the Bears’ decision to fire Lovie has cursed the franchise ever since. Similar to the Illini and the firing of Ron Zook after the 2011 second-half collapse.

Wow.
Really good racing video. Never been to this track.
I do try to get to Road America every year, but Covid concerns had me skipping this year. If anyone is looking for a place to see car races, Road America is a great family trip.
Thanks for the Video.

== With IHSA basketball starting this week ==

It isn’t scheduled to start until 11/16.

== what’s the likelihood the season doesn’t get off the ground at the end of the month? ==

Even as someone that has a senior varsity player at home, I think slim to none games happen anytime soon if ever and I thought that before the current upward covid trend. I will be sad for sure, but will not be causing any “flare ups” so put away your business card, DeVore.

Remembering the hardest part of driving in Ireland was the shifter on the left. Great video.

Last night’s game would have been even more fun for everyone if the Rams had remained in St. Louis.

Wheeee…for sure.
