The Far Side -- June 4, 2022

I haven't quite decided. 

My Monday-through-Friday, "Back to the Bakken" is sacrosanct. Three items:

  • active rigs / WTI
  • wells coming off the confidential list
  • RBN Energy

I am seriously considering adding a fourth link: The Far Side. Yes, as of 2020, Gary Larson has his own web page

We'll see.

Why would anyone schedule a NASCAR race in Portland, OR? OMG. SMH. ROFL. LOL. LMAO. AYKM?

Everyone has his car covered, and everyone is under an umbrella. Everyone in the stands look as uncomfortable as "hell," trying too look cool with a craft beer and it's raining. Hey, it's Portland. But it looks like they have rain-tires on and the race will start on time, although I see "machinery" out there trying to get the track ready. 

The first turn is a disaster. 

On top of everything else, an incredibly narrow track.

Why, oh, why, NASCAR in Portland? LOL. 

Noah Gragson: "The key is to keep the car on the racetrack." Okay. 

FS1 for those wondering where it is airing / streaming.

Later: now that they've started, it looks like they're running about 50 mph over most of the course.

First six laps: boring.

  2. NASCAR has run in Portland in the past. This was the "Minor League" race. Its a road course and avg speed was about 92 MPH.
    Jeff Gordon became famous by mastering the road courses
