Here is a clip talking about the brakes, Shank didn't seem concerned with it.:idunno: seems strange that brakes have gotten that good

That's why I'm questioning it. @Nitro Dude , how often do you have to change the brakes? Fuel cars use carbon/carbon brakes don't they?
 
Didn't realized this was being broadcasted on FS2. lol

Wonder what the ratings will look like.
 
it would be easier if they just broadcast the damn race 24H on a main channel, like Fox or CBS or FS1 or something.
 
We broke the feed. This is on my FB news page:

FS1 has my beloved Supercross in less than half an hour. No way!

They should have left it on FS2 I don't get it.

amazing how these guys race hard for 24 hours, and Nascar guys ride around until the last 25 laps. Maybe they need to cut their salaries.:)

When they did brake changes, the first 20 hours never really meant much, it was all on the pit crew. But now if they aren't changing brakes, seconds suddenly count all race long.

I think it was last year, may be year before, a car that was leading had to come in for a splash and go and Pruitt passed him for the win, good finish, good pit strategy.
 
Ganassi screwed up Larson. Probably should have been on bended knee begging Juan to run the Rolex. Pretty stupid throwing Larson in there without any time in the car, not good for Larson's confidence level, just dumb all around.

Where is he running? What stream are you watching?
 
damn, I'm pulling for SRT, I believe the #93 is back in the lead? That is what my timing and scoring page is showing anyway.:idunno:

he is out of the car already, stalled it getting out of the pits, when he got it started, he turned on the wipers, and then had a pit speeding penalty because he didn't have the limiter on. All that is nothing but inexperience, wasn't his fault but Ganassi's as far as I am concerned.

Ouch lol. Welcome to sports cars kid.

He's probably like 'what the **** are the wipers for?'

He'll be alright.

hope it don't affect his confidence in 500.

ole wayne taylor came in early too.
had that "wtf was i thinkin" look......all us ole farts can identify with ! ha!
 
they are alive and talking at the hospital is all i have heard, don't know how bad they are injured.
 
It's very weird we haven't been told anything at all. It's good to hear they are talking
 
Still nothing on injuries, are they in surgery? Can they feel their limbs? Nothing.

Crazy pictures coming out though.
