Re: NASCAR thread
They've been working at Daytona to adjust the spoiler and whatever restrictor plate they'll be making work on the new FI engines to break up the tandem drafts. It'll be interesting to see in a few months what they've managed to come up with. The two car trains don't make for exciting racing to watch, but I'm sure it's no less than sheer terror for the drivers.
:borg: |
Re: NASCAR thread
All cars are restricted in power, the teams draft to get speed, without it, we would be watching cars going on a 2.5 mile track at 140mph... The tandem drafting, imo, is more exciting than the huge line drafts. I would love the restrictor plates to be removed, nascar has proved on several incidents that the cars are INCREDIBLY safe :)

You mean when they are airborne in the catch fence lol?

Re: NASCAR thread
They were running over 200mph at Daytona with single cars in the test.

Re: NASCAR thread
Just saw it on ESPN. Wow! His circumstances when he 'left' Roush weren't much better. Wonder if anyone will bring him on board? Maybe he and Kyle should form their own 'Anger Management' team?
:borg: |
Re: NASCAR thread
2 shrubs in one pot.
AT least Roger has a set. Too bad Roush already has one oil sponsor, Kenseth and Ragan need sponsorship. |
Re: NASCAR thread
It sucks to see such behavior out of a former champion. This might be a second chance for Sam Hornish. He seems like a really good guy. :orange:
Maybe Joe can fire shrub and really make this a good week. The formal announcement should be tomorrow and he will probably have another ride before the new year. Both of the Busch brothers are exceptional drivers; if they didn't have mental problems they could be great. http://nascar.speedtv.com/article/cu...moX4Y.facebook |
I bet Shells kicking themselves for dropping Harvick. I agree...Gibbs needs to grow a set now. Those idiots are going nowhere in this sport acting like brats.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Wow... I could have seen Joe Gibbs kicking Kyle, but Kurt from Penske? Nothing is formal until officially announced, remember in July when everyone saying it was "confirmed" Edwards would be going to Gibbs? I'll wait for the official annoucement, I can see him replacing Vickers in Team redbull though...

Re: NASCAR thread
Pretty is talking to Kurt today :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
Let's bring things up from FOUR years ago, yep. People can't change and I act the exact same way as I did 4 years ago when I was 15... get real guys. I believe he actually took anger management courses to help his temper.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
OK, how about this year when he tried to kill Brad Kesolowski?
I will admit he's done better since then though. |
Re: NASCAR thread
I can't believe, That of the 2 bush bro's, PEE WEE was not the one that got FIRED!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2PZicO2P8Q Watch at 2:50. The media likes to make Carl look like the bad guy because NASCAR HATES Roush, that has been proven time and time again. I watched that race, a few laps earlier is shown at 3:29 in the video, if you race Carl dirty, he will back, same with the Kenesth/Vickers incident. Don't call the kettle black, Brad has dumped more drivers to win in his day than carl has EVER dumped. |

Re: NASCAR thread
Is it still tandem nut to butt racing? I won't watch or go to Daytona or Talladega again until they find a better way to race.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
They banned all driver communications, reduced rad size, cars are still doing it. The only way to fix it is NO RESTRICTOR PLATES. Personally, I prefer Tandem over the huge 20+ car trains, at least with tandems the cars are spread out more.
Side note, BUD SHOOTOUT ON SATURDAY!!! Who else is ready for some left turns again, Edwards needs redemption! |
Re: NASCAR thread
I liked the freight train. I thought it was incredible to watch in person.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
I just didn't like the fact that 1 car loses it, half the field is gone. And that it doesn't matter if you run first all race, everyone will *cut you out* on the last lap. All opinions though, restrictor plate racing sucks, the cars are safe enough now that they could handle it without restrictors. If they are that worried about speed, racing with smaller V8s (302/305 vs the 350/351).

The guy is a genius. There was a MAXIMUM displacement rule, but no minimum. So he built some 310 CID motors and used the same plate as the 358 CID, and made more power with the smaller motor. Naturally, since it was a Ford team, (Davey Allison driving) ASSCAR immediately changed the rules to a minimum 355 CID rule. Just like the new cooling system rule, it was meant to hurt the Fords. One superior part of the FR9 engine was the cooling system. ASSCAR and Brian "the pansy" France would have none of that. |

Re: NASCAR thread
Fords look good today i hope Carl wins shoot out tonight
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Well, I'm ready to watch. Maybe. If they are still running 2 here and 2 there and so on.....I'm out.
That aint racing. Edit....OK it is Drag racing. lol |
Re: NASCAR thread
What ever it is, Ill watch. My tickets for martinsville should be here anytime. We are renting a house in near Mooresville for the Coke 600 at Charlotte and we will probaly go to the World of Outlaws race on friday down there. We have start/finish line seats for both martinsville and the Charlotte cup races. Charlottle Motor Speedway is an Awesome Facility if youve never been there, go. Ill probably go to Richmond as well. I got NASCAR fever. :gears:
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Martinsville was a great track because everything is within very short walking distance. We were about 100 yards or so from the track to our camping spot. Definitely the most hillbilly track I've been to.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Looks a preview of next weekends crash-fest.
No mention in the pre-race of Chads 'indescrection'?!? And no penalty until after the 500??? What's up with that? :borg: |
Re: NASCAR thread
You've got cars doing half nut to butt racing, and half freight train racing. That aint gonna mix well at all.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Pack racing... where 1 accident becames 5 accidents.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Gordon is such an idiot. If he blocks you, it's ok. If you block him he either wrecks you or whines about being blocked after the race. I saw that wreck coming a mile away.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Gordon has always been a cry baby, one of the reasons I have no respect for him. He b*tches about EVERYTHING. I hate pack racing, I'm in between with tandem, why can't we have normal racing on dega/daytona like at tracks like charlotte/atlanta/vegas etc etc.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
KB is still an azzhole but that was impressive.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
If the 500 is like the Bud Shootout I'll definitely watch it. I thought it was a good race. I like the freight train racing, but I've only been following Nascar since 1996, so I never saw non-restrictor plate in the 70's and 80's. I only watched the Indy 500 back then.
