59th Rolex 24 at Daytona

[Kiante]

Mazda needs another FCY now they are back on the lead lap.

 

[aunty dive]

Let’s go, 48!

Jimmie’s Timex is on its last legs.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

SHOTS FIRED

 

[Old Kid]

It can't be worse than Spectrum.

1. DVR---attempted to delete programs as far back as May of 2020. Says it's done. Nope. 59% full and scrolling up.
2. Frequently at boot-up, TV can't see the cable box. Have to cycle the box on 3 times to get a connection. Black screen (usually twice), snowman shoveling snow in a snowstorm, then TV says "No connection (is it on)?" Whe it finally connects the DVR makes sounds like it lacks oil pressure. Lots of grinding and popping of hardrive.
3. Current start-up channel is CNN. At least 4 times a week, has message that "your TV supports a higher resolution, do you want to update"? Say yes every time. At the point I'm at HHHHHHHDDDDDDDDDRRRRRRR 99.09.
4. Frequently loses channels. Just has an error code and guide gets shrunk by half. Normally unplug everything for a minute and it's back up.
5. Channels pixilating and no/poor sound. Absolutely no better "connection" than OTA antenna.

I suspect many of the issues ARE the DVR/Box. But if I have to drive 15 miles to get to an office you can get inside in less than 2 hours I'm turning all their stuff in. I suppose I could try to get them to send me a replacement? I originally did the self install. It's one coax, one HDMI and power connection. Meh. Will see Monday.

Thankfully my cable system is pretty reliable, certainly nothing like the issues you describe, AT&T.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Will be curious how much time JPM and Dixon can cut off

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

It was only a matter of time before the Mercedes and Ferrari got together. They have been going at it the whole time

They started that before the sun went down.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Pag is really outbraking Alb and is getting beat on the exit. He’s also arcing the turns more.

 

[Turtle84]

GTD been a great battle.

and now France's Pagenaud trying to track down New Mexico's long lost son Albuquerque.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

#31 getting back ontrack

 

[Kiante]

Nobody:

Porsche: *High Pitched* BRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOMMMMMM...

 

[ChexOrWrex]

It always make me a little sick to see Richard celebrate so much after his driver sent Aric into the turn 3 wall nose first at 185 mph. You think he’d be pretty sensitive to that imagery.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Engel vs. Marciello is going to be really good down the stretch if the two Mercs stay out of trouble and in control.

 

[nickp]

That Ferrari vs Mercedes AMG is one terriffic battle

Mercedes brought their entire factory line-up from Europe.

That's just how serious the Rolex 24 is.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I don’t see anyone using nearly as much inside curbing at International Horseshoe as Dixon does.

 

[Pat]

That is heart breaking when teams get this close and have problems.

 

[Kiante]

International horseshoe meets the golden horseshoe.

 

[Turtle84]

DPi on pace to complete over 800 laps.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I’m so ready for a Kobi attack

 

[ChexOrWrex]

That Cadi is twerking

 

[nickp]

after 21 hours there is still absolute action and anything can happen!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I didn’t know Trevor Lawrence was a sports car racer.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I thought that was the #10 DPi in the chicane for a second. Actually #11 LMP2.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hoo boy

 

[donthaveanickname]

I already watched more of this race than the past three Le Mans races combined.

 

[Kiante]

Wow.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wow! That’s a goner. One bullet left for Cadillac

Edit: Maybe just a puncture but it’s gonna take a lot to come back from this.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Wow!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Dixon having issues. What a rare sight

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Wow not a great day for DPi.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

They threw a caution for that? What is this, NASCAR?

 

[Kiante]

Dixon has been riding the kerbs hard, maybe a bolt was loose and he hit it or something.

Another sign for these guys to avoid the kerbs more often than not.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Kobayashi on this restart

 

[FLRacingFan]

Mazda back on the lead lap with a chance now.

#57 and #75 pitted about 20 minutes ago under green and are off sequence with the other GTD lead lap cars.

 

[Kiante]

Mazda has gone full-boosto cuz.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Mazda up there with Cadillac and Acura

 

[donthaveanickname]

Normally I would comlain about the cautions but this is a fun race to watch.
A 24-hour-race with the characteristics of a sprint race.

[Charlie Spencer]

Yeah, but I'd appreciate them running the remaining 1:40+ under green.
