Sorry Joan but I can offer nil assistance on this one.
However, with a great little break from it all, you may be able to come up with the answer.
Gran Premi Monster Energy De Catalunya 15th June at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Just down the road from where you live. ...and it is pretty well guaranteed that a Spaniard will be Victorious.
This is the one international sport where Spain is so far ahead of the rest of the world.
Go there Murty and you will enjoy it immensely.
Especially since you have driven around the track in a car, so you know the the track.
I will be barracking for one young Spaniard for sure.

Yes, you are right, I truly hope to have it arranged before the 15th, but... (crossing-fingers).
Yay! I hope Marquez will do it!
I'm afraid I won't be able to go...  working issues (a little orange robot is giving us some headache and must be finished around those dates).
Yes, I still remember the Lamborghini and the Ferrari... Quite better than the small thing I drive usually...
Most of the motor pilots that are great in Spain are Catalan, we do have plenty of world champions and winners in different motor categories... it looks like we are all ill of gasoline fever...

You know that TV program where they get a couple of teams to compete at building things from stuff 'found' on the scrapheap? They also have an expert assigned to each team.
Well, I would love to see Colin Furze[^] be on one of these programs.
Have you seen his latest creations at re-creating the X-Men Characters?
Pyro[^]
Wolverine[^]
Magneto[^]
I love the Pyro one!

That was a good program - that turned...well...cr@p.
They built some incredible machines: Dick's "Walking Landy" and the episode with the homemade jet engines...

Inspired by the man shot with a tranquilizer and a lad in the office commenting he'd love to be shot with a tranquilizer to see what it felt like.
Normal athletics track, contestants line up, but instead of a starting pistol each one is shot in the ass with a tranquilizer dart, this signals they should start running.
The winner is whoever can run the farthest.
Different strength shots can be used to get different length races.
Don't tell me you wouldn't watch that.

That would be hilarious!
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Maybe if it were a "celebrity" event. And maybe have a steamroller or similar set to follow the pack to encourage any stragglers.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

You need separate categories; politicians and lawyers, and adjust the strengths accordingly!
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

Why would you need to adjust the strength? Surely "lethal" is the correct dose for both of those groups.

You can't use #1 on a lawyer - every extra second it took them to die would cost you £100!

Have them run past a gallery of shooters instead of some official having all the fun of shooting them. If they are shot outside the target zone penalties apply. Target zone to be decided by crowd acclamation.
Profession of runner to be published prior to race.

Towards the end of the race, I can see every contestant anime-style-screaming as they move forward an inch.

Love it.
I picture the lawyers taking the time to remove the dart, and sacrifice the leg with a tight tourniquet before running.
But I think we should do it with Congress, and as they approach the finish line.
We have the NRA sponsored shooters, and the OTHER SIDE (Pun intended) would be anti-gunners. So any stray shots that missed the runners, could take out someone anyways
All said and done, we'd be a better country.

Combine this sport with elections, and I'd definitely pay to watch.
Line up each candidate, dart 'em, and let 'em go. For the primaries, the 2 that get the farthest get to come back in November for the General. We could call it "The Bungler Games". I don't think we could do much worse that who's been in office lately.
