One of my good friends has one. Maintenance for it is about the same for contacts. He takes his out and cleans it every night with saline solution and then pops it back in. Sleeps with it in most of the time if I remember correctly, but he does clean it every night and morning.

Explain the three-strike rule to me like I'm JerryTheKingBrawler
NASCAR could propose a non safety related change and the teams could veto it by saying no. NASCAR could still override the veto and go ahead with their proposal, but this can only occur 3 times. Afterwards they could no longer override the teams on that issue.
That was a one season only thing that preceded the current charter system and the only time the teams tried to veto NASCAR was some changes they made to the Roval. They objected to some changes to the track that NASCAR wanted to make.
NASCAR removed the 3 strike rule when they updated the charter system to it's current setup as they didn't want to listen to the teams any longer. (Shocking right?)

Did NASCAR cave?
Kind of looks that way. When a major sponsor who has been in the sport for over 2 decades starts attacking the leadership, the chances of NASCAR coming out of the trial with what they wanted were slim. No doubts that Johnny Morris's letter tilted things in favor of the teams.
I wonder how long it will be until the "Steve's" are relieved of their responsibilities? You can't have two of the big leaders of the sanctioning body showing negative bias towards certain team owners. It starts to bring into question the integrity of how NASCAR runs things.

NASCAR probably saw the writing on the wall and came up with terms that would be satisfactory. The public opinion on them was extremely low and the risk of having everything being brought to light on how they have been running things was enough to make them make accommodations.
When you have big time sponsors like Bass Pro shops writing letters to them, letting them know how displeased they are, it was only a matter of time. They couldn't afford to lose the money if big time partners started to pull out.

I remember back in the heyday of IMSA Camel GTP racing, someone made the comment that NASCAR had $25,000 cars racing for $250,000 purses, while IMSA had $250,000 cars racing for $25,000 purses.
I have a book that was given to me as a kid that had the world's fastest cars in it. There was a section on the NASCAR Chevy Lumina, at the time the avg cost was $185K for a top car and maybe $80k to $100k for the mid tier and lower teams. Most of the money was just in the drive train. If you removed the drive train, the chassis and sheetmetal was around $40k to 55k
And this was back in the days when teams had special qualifying components such as engines, radiators, brakes, etc that they would swap out for race components after they got locked in.

I remember when the Next Gen car and single source part suppliers were going to make things cheaper for the teams.
I can't remember which team said it, but they said as of now, for the price of 7 current gen cars they could build 14 of the previous gen race car.
If that is true, this current car is twice as expensive as the cars teams used to build almost completely in house.

Don't do the crime unless you can do the time. She should have looked into their laws before going to another country. And if she did review their laws and proceeded with her stunts anyways, then well that is what she deserves.
Common sense should tell someone that a majority muslim nation would look unkindly on that sort of behavior.

The pines have been hit hard. Drought made them susceptible to pests.
On my drive home everyday, I pass by a particular nursery in FH that has 4 big ole pines in it's front lawn. All of them have the bark falling off from pest infestation and just about all the needles are falling off them. I'm surprised they have not cut them down yet.
I had a Hickory in the backyard come crashing down just after Christmas last year. The drought killed it. I was waiting on 2 estimates to come in for cutting it down when it naturally decided to install free skylights in my roof. :lol:

The problem is, there is nowhere else to race stock cars at this level. NASCAR is an effective monopoly.
Yep and they own all the premier tracks in the best markets, effectively giving them the ability to shut out any other potential series from racing on those circuits. With the exception of SMI, NASCAR via ISC has an iron grip on the race tracks.

Family-owned businesses usually fail in the third generation.
Yep, that generation had no skin in the game other than they were born into the wealth and prestige it generated. They were not there when it was built up from nothing.
They did not have to spend the long hours doing what was necessary to make NASCAR the top stock car racing series. They just lucked into control because they were popped out of the right vagina's

With Lane bringing in both his WR Coach and Inside receivers coach, I don't think Hankton will be retained unless it is some kind of analyst role.
