Anyone else seen these?  I don't know why but I get really into these races even though there's no skill or free will involved.



Race starts at 6:20-ish (link should jump there).  Exciting last lap!

I was just watching that.  And part of race 3.   laughingdp


A lap or two less would keep me more engaged (blame the ADD) but still entertaining.   waytogo

Yeah, sometimes I jump ahead and start at mid-race.

We've been watching them for years. Zip is fascinated by them.

You watch enough marble races and eventually youtube recommends this.  Much shorter races (ahem...Stella):

There's a surprising amount of work put into these, even beyond the actual set up.  Editing, graphics packages, sound, etc...

The guys who did the diecast stuff, also do a "dirt" rally event, it's great.

No clue.  But for a foodie like you, Oaxaca is a mecca.  You ever make it up this way we can eat ourselves into a coma.  Well, I can at least; I suspect your eating talents are insuperable.

As for travel, I'm all traveled out these days.  Although I do hope to sneak into a DIMBY one day again in the distant COVID-free future.

How are the dogs these day?
