Seems to me the smaller tanks began in the 2002 season. I am in that hard

They use smaller (around 13 gallons) fuel tanks at Daytona and Talladega
to break up the long freight trains of cars with more pit stops.

Well, that is the theory, anyway. That rule is, what, three years old
now? Or is it four. Hard to remember at my age.

Well it hasn't been so long that you don't notice the upswing in the number
of debris cautions to compensate for it.

I have never really fallen for the whole debris caution theory. I am not at
the track, I am not an official. I don't expect television to show me every
piece of debris that brings out a yellow.

But I do figure that the debris may be driver supplied, ala Jimmy Spencer
some years back.

Or the misterious glove on the track this past weekend that nobody can figure
out who it belongs to.

Yes, but I don't rely on the TV crew to show me every piece of debris.

They can't show what doesn't always exist.

Hell, who's to say that all the drivers don't have *debris* in
their car to discard when needed or required of them.

I would imagine that is the reason for the bulk of the debris yellows. In
that instance, what is a ruling body to do? Leave the debris on the track?
It wouldn't surprise me at all of there hasn't been a car with some sort of
"debris launcher" of you will, built in, other than Spencer's roll bar
padding and a left arm.

Carey in Manvel

No. They 'found' one at the home of Nicole and they 'found' other one in
OJ's alley...

Criminal Evidence at Simpson's Home

During this, Fuhrman discovered the infamous bloody right-hand glove behind
Kato's bungalow. He immediately informed the other officers of his
discovery. The officers began realizing that the Simpson home was related to
the original crime scene and they began taking action to secure the
premises. They carefully examined the premises and were shocked to discover
a blood trail that lead from the Bronco, behind Kato's home, and directly to
the door of Simpson's house. They even discovered blood inside the foyer of
the home. A more careful examination of the Bronco revealed several blood
stains and smears both inside and outside of the car. Later examination of
the home revealed a pair of bloody socks in Simpson's bedroom which DNA
analysis later revealed to be Nicole's blood.

Evidence at Nicole's Home

After securing the Simpson's home the officers returned to the Nicole crime
scene where lab specialists were already gathering evidence. Officers found
a mountain of evidence which over the course of time, proved without a doubt
that Simpson was the perpetrator of the double murder. The matching
left-hand glove, one of a pair of rare and expensive Aris Isotoner gloves
was found near Ronald's body. Bloody shoe prints, matched to a expensive
brand of Bruno Magli shoes are also found. And of course, there was also lot
's of blood evidence recovered. Eyewitness accounts begin pouring in.
Simpson, at this point, had become a strong suspect.

Yes. Why? Do you think the glove on the track could be OJ's other glove? :-)
