MotoGP Rules Update: Penalty Points Now Valid For A Year, Moto3 Chassis Price Capped
At its final meeting of 2013, the Grand Prix Commission has agreed changes to the regulations for the three Grand Prix classes, mostly minor, but a couple with much wider implications. Changes were agreed to the penalty points system, to the procedure for restarting interrupted races, for protests and wild cards. But the biggest changes made were to the Moto3 class. The loophole which allowed manufacturers to charge what they wanted for chassis has been closed, capping prices in Moto3 even further.
The biggest change to the sporting regulations is the extension of the penalty points system, to allow penalty points to be carried across between seasons. In 2013, the first year the system was used, penalty points accumulated during the season were only valid until after the final race of 2013 at Valencia was over. This posed a problem for Race Direction, as Mike Webb explained to MotoMatters.com in an interview at Valencia. It meant that any points awarded at the final races of the season had less effect on rider behavior than those early on in the season, and points awarded in the final race were completely meaningless. In his interview with this website, Mike Webb had already suggested giving points a limited lifetime, allowing them to be carried over from one season to the next.

From the Marbles Video Taste Test: The Shake ?n Bacon Brew
By now you've heard of the bacon beer milkshake being sold this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. Black lager, vanilla ice cream and bacon maple syrup blended up and topped with whipped cream and bacon bits.
Having expectations for a flavor combination like that was almost impossible. I've never had the three before, so I didn't know what to expect. And it pretty much tasted like all three flavors in one.
So is the Shake 'n Bacon Brew any good? Watch the video!

Cup Start-And-Parks Dwindling
The practice of starting-and-parking has been a much discussed topic over the last couple of years. If you aren’t aware, starting-and-parking refers to a system in which teams enter a race and pull into the garage after only a few laps with a perfectly good race car in order to collect prize money. Teams can [...]

Danica Patrick dressed up as a showgirl at the ACAs Tuesday night
If you sat through the American Country Awards last night, you got to see Danica Patrick dressed as a showgirl. You weren't expecting that were you?
Patrick hosted the ACAs along with country singer Trace Adkins. And she did a fine job. The writing was predictably poor and many of the skits and jokes were not laugh out loud funny by any stretch, but she did well with what she had to work with. That's definitely saying something.
And now you want to know what other NASCAR drivers would look like dressed as a showgirl, right? Let's see what we can do.
