Random NASCAR Stuff to talk about.....

Is the 6 to 12 year old NASCAR bandalero league still around at Charlotte?

 

[*WEAVER*]

If anybody is interested, on www.fanschoice.tv tonight at Evergreen Speedway they are running a trailer race of destruction. These are usually real fun to watch, so figured I would throw it out there.

I didn't know where Jimmie Johnson's thread was, sorry. I saw this on Facebook, it's worth sharing.

Anyone know what "The Simulator" we keep hearing about is? I've heard JR is using it in his recovery, other driver was using it to learn the line at New Hampshire. Is it just an IRacing rig or some proprietary program?

The best of these things can be programed for every track and set up to mimic a full race simulation that includes all the chassis and aero load data derived from an 8 post shaker rig.

More than useful and very expensive.

Thanks Aunty. Only $73,000? I know what I'm getting for Christmas!

Apparently a bit more than IRacing.

 

[aunty dive]

73 with no options.

Do you suppose anyone purchases the stripper model?

Wait for next fall. The dealer will mark them down as low as $72,500, and give you $200 trade-in for NASCAR Heat Evolution.

 

[LewTheShoe]

I'll call your $73,000 and raise you another few million...

Declining to pick up the phone and call #20-Matt Kenseth last year may have cost #22-Joey Logano a championship, he now believes.

Ya think!

[Team Penske]

That's truthful although wrong in so many ways. I wonder how JGR would have felt if Joey accidentally on purpose took out Kyle last year at Homestead.?
One thing I know for sure, if I am driving the 22, Kenseth will never win another championship.

Martinsville Old School.....

The NASCAR Convertible Series raced 4 times at Martinsville between 1956-1959.

Boy, it didn't get any more politically incorrect than that. Nice variety of roll cages, or the lack thereof.

 

[Pat]

Wow... The simulator I drove just had the green house.

I wonder how much the drivers use them and if they believe it really helps their racing.

Oh Sh!t, looks like Martinsville is getting the VHT treatment...

Remind me, wasn't this stuff Jr's idea? Maybe he came up with it after he received the concussion but before it was diagnosed?

I don't see where it can hurt the racing @ Martinsville. If it works, we'll get plenty of side by side racing lap after lap on the best track on the schedule. If it doesn't work we'll still have awesome racing on the best track on the schedule. Sounds like a win win too me.

The first that I've heard this.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I recall from the Bristol conversation that the idea was attributed to a driver. I thought it was Jr., but maybe I have that incorrect.

 

[aunty dive]

Good idea.

Racing is about trying stuff. Sometimes you hit it.

I found this gem at a local festival a few weeks back. It cost me one whole dollar...

1:24 scale Davey Allison T-Bird diecast. "I'd buy THAT for a dollar!"

Don't mind the dust on my cable box, lol

Martinsville Speedway won’t make changes to track surface after test session

"After trying a suggestion from a NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, Martinsville Speedway won’t make any changes to its track surface for its Chase race later this month, track and series officials told NBC Sports on Thursday...." (NBC Sports, more here.)

Lol.

Sorry Harvick

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Sorry Harvick

Harvick, that's who it was. He doesn't even have a concussion for an excuse.

Leave the track surfaces alone.

Maybe with the money they saved from not changing the track, they could use it to install lights.

Somebody should have told Jimmy it's easier to heat those TV dinners up in the oven.

I was questioning that also. But he posted it like it was now.

Probably was mad at someone and his temper flared.

We all know Spencer was a hot-head.

I hope he remembered to peel back the foil to expose the tater tots.

Some of you will have never read those word.

I just checked both FB and Twitter for the speedway --- no recent posts. Guess everyone is hunkered down. They
can't check for damage until the storm passes.

Everything will be ready in February.
