I met Nigel Mansell when he raced at Road America in Wisconsin

( the longest ( 4 mile ) road track in the US )

Thunderhill Raceway Park in Willows, California has a configuration that is 5 miles.

you're the racer

not I, my info is only as good as my sources

in the 90's when I was there RA claimed to be the longest road track in the US

did that other track surpass it or was RA incorrect back then ??

He's young, he's getting there, and has a good sinker and off speed.
Gave up his first homer the other night.

"His fastball had a five percent strikeout rate in April, a seven percent strikeout rate in May… and a 40 percent rate in June."

Good sinker?

Yes, you are not one of those who seem to be waiting for the last moment - not one of those who thinks you can throw bacon into a fire at the last instant and have something good come out - but there are still those here at PF who have posted maybe once a day talking of their dream K-1, or questioning the rules, and done nothing else to help the march in that direction.

I already have my dream K-1. And I still tend to be in or near the top ten. Every day.

Oh well, just being a PW isn't all that bad.

Well... Beer in a pitcher never was the best of ideas. Unless you drink beer that supposed to be flat, of course.
