In Driver's Eye with James Hinchcliffe, the six-time INDYCAR winner will bring you inside the mind of a racer while breaking down the nuts and bolts of the sport for fans. As INDYCAR continues its mad dash to the season's checkered flag, the next two stops on the calendar represent a unique challenge: brand-new street circuits. Now, this concept isn’t new for the teams and drivers in the series. It’s not even new this year, after we went to Arlington, Texas, for the first time back in March. But having this many in a season — and two back-to-back in Markham, Ontario, and Washington, D.C. — is certainly outside the norm. So naturally, you might want to know: How does a driver prepare for a brand-new, temporary street circuit? The answer is the Driver In The Loop simulator, or the DIL. The DIL is a frequently used and massively helpful tool for drivers and engineers alike in preparation for any race. But it has extra importance when coming to a new, temporary track. Why do I keep emphasizing the "temporary" part? Because if you’re going to a track that is new for you, but not brand new, there are other things you can look at to prepare. Drivers will look at on-board videos from other motorsports series that have raced there. Engineers can look at data sets from a completely different race car, then use offsets they know — based on how that type of car performs against an INDYCAR at a track that they have both been on — to try and determine rough performance parameters. But when it’s a brand-new track, the DIL simulations are the best — really, the only — tool you’ve got. Chip Ganassi Racing and Alex Palou recently posted a video online of him doing some sim laps around the upcoming D.C. venue that gives you a sense of what this is like for the driver. Behind the wheel, it provides drivers with a general literal and figurative feel for what to expect when they won't be on the track until race weekend. For a new track, the online model used in the sim is built from laser scanning the roads the track will be run on and building out corner radii based on CAD files used to assemble the track. Think architectural drawings that show where each line, curb and wall is. Part… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago - “Cops on a Rooftop” raising money for Special Olympics
Local law enforcement members spent the morning on the roof of Dunkin Donuts stores in the area to raise money for Special Olympics. It’s the annual “Cops on a Rooftop” fundraiser. It ran from 6 a.m. until noon. Members of the La Crosse Police Department, La Crosse County Sheriff’s Office, French Island Police, and UW-La Crosse Police were at the store on Losey Boulevard. Sgt. Whitney Hughes with the La Crosse Police Department said that the support Friday morning was “amazing”. “The support has been so cool to see. We’ve had a ton of people come by. Lot of people donating. And we can’t tell the community how much we appreciate it.” For those who weren’t able to make it by, Hughes said people can go to SpecialOlympics.org and make a donation. The money raised goes to support the athletes in the area, region, and nationwide on and off the field.
