You're on to something here. Please email Dr Kringy about this idea.
Luigi, you good with the 3 shots pre-race? Matt will gladly be your personal barrister and serve you in the hot pits. I've had his espresso at the track. I guarantee you will stay awake through the race.

 

I love love love espresso, which is weird because I don't drink coffee and didn't start drinking espresso until about ten years ago. I have a Rancilio Silvia Pro for home with a grinder so my espresso is fresh!

I bring either a Nespresso or Outin Nano (battery powered espresso maker that looks like a thermos) to the track.

I wonder if I need to disclose espresso use?

 

I think that could work in your favor with doctor K.

I would disclose....

 

Only if:

• The Espresso machine collects data on the caffeine and sugar content of that specific served portion
• The cup captures data on how much espresso was consumed and at what rate over specific time
• That dose/rate data is captured for 30 days and presented to the Medical Committee
• The DOT has established an acceptable standard for espresso consumption by Long Haul Truckers (LHT), and:
• The dose/rate data falls within those established DOT LHT espresso standards

 

Well played!

 

WAT is this SORCERY?!?!

 

They are going to cut and paste this and we will all see it in the 2025 PCA medical evaluation form.

It uses nespresso pods, runs of a rechargeable battery, and will make three cups of espresso on a single charge if it boils the water (which is the only way I use it), or about 100 cups if it doesn't have to heat the water. The warmer the water the less battery power it takes so I like to take water from a bottle that has been in the sun versus one from the cooler. It makes a good cup of espresso. The only downside is it takes several hours to charge and takes about 5 minutes to take a cup as that is how long to get the water element heated.

I recommend it! How else could I stay awake while driving a race car?!

 

Does the correct answer involve an air strike? Asking for a friend

 

Negative.
I’ll post it tomorrow if I remember.

 

To this day I call people Hosers (Americans). That said, there are some funny folks up thar in Canada

 

“Hoser” in a Canadian term for certain kinds of Canadians….don’t get us Americans involved….

 

I'm an American but would spend a bit of time in Canada every year (and have been an avid hockey player / coach / fan). I use with some of the Americans I know jokingly. Got big when I was in high school with the Bob and Doug Mackenzie skits and carried on from there. Even my boys and I (they are not 31 and 27) use with each other. Its hysterical.

 

Why do Canadians like to do it doggie style?

 

So they can both watch hockey at the same time?

 

OMG this all makes sense now. I told you that you were sleeping at the start of our race but omg you really did fall asleep
