Re: NASCAR thread
"Now: to more important stuff. I apparently have not been keeping up well with new automotive technology. I must now get a new, NASCAR approved and Roush built, self loosening oil cap for my car.
Why? According to some Toyota hack: "On Friday, Lee White, general manager for Toyota Racing Development, told USA Today that removal of the oil cap would provide up to 21 percent more downforce and as much as 50 horsepower. He added that he fully believed the Roush team knew what it was doing going into the race to create an competitive advantage" If I can get 50 HP and 25% better dowforce at speed from an oil cap loss, then I'm all in on that deal!" I can't wait til I see ricers at car shows missing the oil caps!! They already have the Nascar decals. :23: |

I'll switch weather with you. Here in Northeast Ohio I have 16 inches of freaking snow on the ground the winds a b!tch as well and the freaking snow plow hasn't been around for two days so I can't get out and get some of life's necessities like Budweiser and Dorito's. :23: |
Re: NASCAR thread
How in the heck can an oil cap increase downforce?
Or HP for that matter? |

Re: NASCAR thread
I noticed on afew different backstretch camera shots that their is'nt any backstretch seating anymore. It's turn 3 through turn 1. I sat in the backstretch back in '99 when I went to the race. Now it's terrace parking spots for very expensive RV's to camp. Kansas Speedway is set up the same way. But I think sooner or later they'll put backstretch seating in at Kansas.

Re: NASCAR thread
Sucks for Carl! :(

Re: NASCAR thread
No doubt. He was ridin' a rocket thoday (not like the rocket JJ & JG ride). Biffle gave it his all, and Kennseth put on a quietly impressive show as well. Both were better in the end than the Hendricks cars they were up against, and Carl would have had Jr. out of a poduim finish had it not been for bad luck. I'd give congrats to Shrub...but I'm pretty sure he still drivin' a ferrin car...

Looks like G's favorite won :23:

I went there about 5 or 6 years ago and there were seats on the backstretch. I wonder why they took them out? |

Re: NASCAR thread
The cold and rainy weather they had would have been a real turn off for campers. When I was there in '99 in November it was 35 degrees at night. Pretty cold when your sleeping in a tent. People who stayed away just because they would have to stay in the cold for 4 hours are wussies. And 50 during the day aint cold.

Re: NASCAR thread
I think that there is a conspiriacy with Nascar to prevent any of the Hendricks cars from winning. I think they want Ford and Toyota to win.
Sound crazy? Your right it is. It's as crazy as some of the goofy talk about favoritism from Nascar to see only Hendricks win. :crazy: There is no conspiracy, no favoritism, no special treatments. The team with the best driver, setup, team, and some luck on that day is going to win. It sure did blow for Carl Edwards. He had that race running away. It sucks to see a Toyota come in and win, but we knew it was going to happen sooner or later. And I see that Roush has figured out the COT. Good for them. There are some real good drivers in that camp. I'm glad to see Ford doing well. The only thing that I don't like about Roush is that the name Fenway is associated with them. I hate any team from the Boston area. LOL |

You mean Mike Meyers the serial killer from 'Halloween'? Sure, I like his work...in the first movie! And don't even bring up that sucky relaunch last year. But I digress...you obviously missed the memo alerting fans that Toyota now pays NASCAR much better that Rick or Jack or any of the other teams is. :borg: |
Re: NASCAR thread
Darrell Waltrip has a man-fetish for Kyle Busch. Have you guys noticed how often Waltrip talks about that punk? It took 5 seconds--the very first sentence he uttered--for Waltrip to mention the Shrub on last Sunday's broadcast. To say that Toyota isn't greasing Fox's palms to constantly talk about them and their drivers is just delusional. :anger:

Re: NASCAR thread
That's all right. When Nextel/Sprint goes belly up in a year or two you can probably look forward to the series being called the Toyota Invitational Cup.
Can we go Trans Am racing or something now? :borg: |

They have been there for a couple of years (or at least the bodies on funny cars have). Up until late last year, all the Nitro engines were a derivative of the Mopar hemi. Ford, John Force Racing lead by John Medlin have designed from the ground up a Ford Nitro motor!! Check it out. http://jalopnik.com/cars/sema/sema-2...tro-316917.php |

Goes to show what I know in NHRA. I've only been to one event in my life and really don't follow it on tv either. Other than John Force I couln't tell you a current person in NHRA. I'd rather be on the track than watch it. For me I find racers making left turns all day more exciting than racers going in a straight line for a 1/4 mile. LOL |

Re: NASCAR thread
I think the only NASCAR race I'd be interested in seeing live anymore are the trucks cuz at least they beat and bang into each other. Races are a little short but they're a heck of a lot more exciting than the Cup cars....

Re: NASCAR thread
Today race I'am taking the Biff #16

Re: NASCAR thread
I sometimes wonder what kind of weed these announcers are smoking when they make a pick for who could win the race. I was in the kitchen and I heard one of the announcers say David Reutimann. Give me a break. If that guy wins 1 Cup race in his whole career he'll be lucky. :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
Great finish, I couldn't be more satisfied. :23:
NO toyota in the top 3. :worship: |
Re: NASCAR thread
I think that was FOX-SPORTS best race !!!!!! WALTRIP could not TALK!!!:CHEERS: :yeh: :THUMBSUP:

Re: NASCAR thread
That was pathetic having to listen to Waltrip. It was like watching those Mucus commercials with that fat flem ball guy making a home in his lungs. That was a great finish to the race. Nice to see a cool guy like Jeff Burton win.

Re: NASCAR thread
Awesome race. Nice to see Stewart and Busch wreck those Toyota's.
It was nice to see a class guy like Jeff Burtin win the race. To bad he don't race for Hendricks. :23: |
