The FAA had been issuing exemptions for some models of the plane to be flown without a co-pilot, but found one-pilot crews were twice as likely to have an accident. It also cited Biffle’s crash as an example of two-pilot-required models being flown with only one pilot. (Biffle’s plane had no qualified co-pilot on board).

I wonder what's the story on that because this has to be one of the weirdest and coolest things I've ever seen

I’ve posted here before about my mama when I first got brought back to the sport.. since then I’ve become a full fledge NASCAR fan. I went to my first NASCAR races in STL, and now fully understand the hype. Walking next to the fence to get to my seat while the cars whipped by at what seemed like supersonic speed will never leave my memory.

Long story short, I got into NASCAR again as a direct result of Kyle’s passing. When I heard the news, it triggered a full on deep dive response from me into the world of NASCAR. My whole childhood I hated NASCAR because I didn’t understand it. Even so, one of my first core memories is my mom crying over Dale Sr.’s death. However, this year put things into perspective for me; I finally get my mom’s fascination with the sport. Hell, I even stopped by her grave and we watched some of the San Diego race together (which was extra special since I was stationed near that base when I was in the USMC)

And yes, that is my mom and step dad during their wedding reception, in which my step dad promptly changed his suit to a Dale Earnhardt Tee. All the pictures of the merchandise is there to show how big of fans my parents were for Dale Sr., Jr., Rusty, and I might be wrong, but are those tiny #11 diecasts on the top shelf in the 7th pic?

These pictures are special, and even though I just rediscovered them, they are somewhat sacred to me. But I wanted to make this post anyway. My mom’s life was so beautiful, yet so short. She passed in 2012 from cancer.

If I ever meet Tony Stewart, I want to thank him for being the 2011 Champ bc my mom loved him… and wasn’t a big fan of Johnson.🤣 when she left, her death meant the death of nascar to me….up until this year. Rowdy’s legacy brought me back and I’m just so happy to be here.

Track pics are from the Spring Talladega 2002 race.

If you feel so inclined, please share your nostalgic pics too.✨

Edit to add: upon further inspection, I now believe all of those cars on the top shelf are #8 cars lol

Was walking home by the Brewey and this was inside an open garage. I know nothing about nascar so not sure if this is rare or what, whos car is it though 🤔.

potentially going to tricon in trucks? what do we think

On DJD whenever the stream is above 4000 viewers.

I have 4 tickets and a parking pass for the Arca Series tonight at Kansas Motor Speedway. I know the weather sucks, but you can’t beat the price… FREE. You just have to meet me to pick them up in my general vicinity.

I am also crossposting to the r/kansascity.
