MUST be a non-racefan! Goodness, a replay of the Bristol night race, a
thrilling F1 race, and a pretty decent IRL race, and this dude's laying
down carpet! Someone HELP him!

Before you buy.
This weekend I was watching the F1 race and the carpet installer showed up at my
house. The only thing left in my living room was the TV and I wasn't moving it
just yet. The carpet guy had never watched F1 but he was watching when Mika
passed Michael and we both thought that it was an excellent move.
The next day I ventured over to Atlas F1 where Ron Dennis is quoted as saying
"His overtaking manoeuvre I'm sure will go down as one of the greatest in the
sport's history". Here I am watching F1 every race and the carpet guy watches
for 5 minutes and see's one of the sports greatist moves in history ;)
I think to myself - heck I see 5 or 10 "manoevre's" a like that during a typical
Winston Cup race :/ I try to reason with myself and I consider that maybe I
really am witnessing one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time. In 10 or 15
years I may look back on these "Mika" years and really appreciate his dominance.
It's just sad that there is not more racing like we saw on Sunday - every week.

Wild speculation, sort of thing, but was it a Brintons carpet? I only
ask cos I grew up in Kidderminster ("carpet town of Worcestershire" as
Punt and Dennis had it so accurately), where they're made, and
apparently they're quite popular in some bits of America.

Their rarity adds to their sublimeness. But they're a little too rare
nowadays. Maybe with the new rules next year...

It depends on whether you bought the carpet from a retailer or
wholesale. In the first case, the retailer recommends their own set of
glues that come with the carpet, and that possible better glues will be
available for loading down from the shelf in the store in the future,
but in any case you would be better off by going for the generic set of
glues from the wholesale. They may not come in pretty boxes, but hold
much better.
Also, before applying the glue, add an additional base layer Directly on
the floor. Be sure to get the latest version of the base layer,
otherwise the latest glues may not stick.
Replace the glue and the base layer when later versions appear (how you
do that is your problem!), otherwise some new guests will refuse to run
over your carpet!
