Received a text pic at 2:42 this from a friend who's at some drag strip in the Dallas area. It appears he wants to let me know they're not done, and wants to torture me.  :-\. So, I can't go back to sleep, and I turn on the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix race. I was watching half asleep and thought must be a full course caution, because they're going slow, then they went to a cockpit cam, and immediately thought that cars broke. Nope, seems they've changed their exhaust and they're still turning 14-15K. The announcers spoke of venues are filing lawsuits for not bringing the excitement level of F1. Apparently, even the drivers are protesting the new exhaust. I always loved the sound of the F1 going through the tunnel at Monaco.
It appears this sound is gone:

It's not a new exhaust. They changed to V6 turbos. Still pretty fast with almost 800 horse.
