Something blue is hovering above the trees here. A few white things floating in there too. Strange.
Hello hello!
WFH day as my coworker is dealing with the teacher's strike. Will likely be a slow day. Almost done with the chiner, made some good progress yesterday.

Don't forget to submit your bike to sethimus' final approval thread or it'll be totally inridibru!!
K1 State Championship confusion resolved. First in Denver Jr. League. First in Colorado State Jr. Championship. Off to Ontario, CA in April for the National (and maybe World) Championships. That is her first "real" big trophy, which very much made her day.
We went outdoor karting immediately afterwards. Her kart is still at the shop waiting for a motor so she was able to borrow a friend's kart after we swapped seats. She was pulling her normal times, despite being in a kart that she'd never been in before and was set up a little too small. On the WTF??! for the day, she had to avoid getting run over by 4 police car - on the track. For some stupid reason they thought it would be a good idea to drive across a live track to get where they wanted to go. No lights, no sirens, nothing. She stopped because she saw us throw the red flag at the other end of the track and she was scared of getting run over. The track owner laid into them when they came back and with a still live track, they started to drive towards it again. She had to pull her quad in front of them until the last of the kids was off the track to keep them from driving on the track. At least one complaint has been submitted and I'll probably do it as well.

I can only imagine what german kidwoo has to say about my monstrosity. it even has wtb tires!
yo if that were my kid i'd be in discussion with the track owners and a lawyer or 3
also, that was the days lesson in ACAB
The track owner said that the cop she was talking with "well, we're not regular people" when she asked them why they thought it was okay to drive across a live racetrack with little kids on it. Lisa is arguably the most 'thin blue line' type of person I've ever met and she was absolutely fucking livid.
A kid in Grand Junction died about 15yrs ago because a rescue vehicle pulled onto the track and she went under it. There is precedence for why it's so dangerous, let alone common sense. That straightaway in the kart Haley was borrowing is 55mph. If it had been one of the kids in a Mini or a KA? 65-75mph. That's fast enough for them to clear the hairpin, get up to speed, then realize that there's a car there all in 5sec - that's 100yds. With a braking distance of 100ft+ at that speed. The whole thing was a shit show.
talk. to. a. lawyer.
also, did any of the parents capture it on video?
Time to start cutting plywood to finish my stair landings. It all came together nice and solid after compensating for all the necessary in-build adjustments.

No. We were all really confused as to wtf was happening then once we realized it, then were immediately so busy yelling at them to stop and get off the track. I'm surprised they didn't shoot anybody - people were running onto the track at them yelling.
The thing is, nobody got hurt. All the kids were clear by 100' once they realized they were at risk, saw the flag, and stopped clear. I will be calling both the sheriff and PD to file complaints today.
Which entities were they? Because the one doesn't care about the other.
pod people gotcha?
with qualified immunity the recourse will be nil. welcome to the wonderful US of A
