Engineering Blog is Back

Welcome one and all back to the engineering blog....For those of you who don't know, I used to do one on the Uprising when I used to work as an engineer at RGM. I don't work there anymore, but the masses have spoken, so I am bringing it back.

Thought I'd start with a little diddy about tires since they were such an issue this week. The obvious question would be "How did they miss it so bad?" Unfortunately I have no idea. They obviously tire tested there, so it baffles me. I have been… Read More

Reasons why Robby should go to Montreal.

Last year many of us witnessed a tragedy. Our boy Robby was about to win his first Nascar race of any kind since 2004. That seemed likely to occur until he was spun under yellow by the #59 Ford of Marcos Ambrose. So, Robby decided to be Robby and line up 2nd despite what Nascar told him and wreck Ambrose and proclaim that he had won the race. He then continued to do burnouts as the race winner. That was all funny as hell, but the fact was that Nascar said Robby did not win the race, and they… Read More

CHANGE YOUR DAMN AVATARS!!!

Okay...so that there is no reason anyone can't or won't change their avatar from POS to something a little more socially acceptable. I have taken the time to help the "lap down" members by giving a step by step instruction of HOW to change your avatar.
