    I'll make sure to give your address to the pilot of the black helicopter

    I put green lines about where the tunnel is. You can see the cars jump up then bottom out across it.

    12 and 22 slid through T1 on cold tires. Just noticed there is a bad bump over Tunnel1 just past pit road exit. It's upsetting a couple of the cars under braking and definitely upsets them exiting pit road.

    not sure if TV is showing it....but all grandstands and most GA is very full.

    The cup cars sound way different than truck/xF. Deeper tone and not as loud.

    SVG looks good on entry but slow on Exit. Larson is trying to make something happen.

    $80 for a weekend pass of GA. $160 for Jessica and I. Hotel came out to $257 for the weekend. Have spent about $100 on food.

    After seeing today's action, I'm curious what Larson, AJ and SVG have in store tomorrow. All 3 start together in rows 6/7/8. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a fuel mileage race. I think Larson's hail Mary in Xfinity shows that tires are worth something. That might influence pit strategy to...

    Better than the truck race, I'll take a 3 car breakaway over a 1 car domination. But that's not saying much. 7.5 from me. 6.0 is what I'll give the truck race.

    Day 1 at COTA - Zero road traffic. Parked in lot T, walked to turn 1 entry. Then walked around the track clockwise, getting a tram ride from halfway down the back straight around to turn 3. The turn9 grandstand has been disassembled and the esses viewing area is no longer accessible (sad). All...

    Truck RACE thread ---- COTA

    The truck race was pretty good for being a 1-person breakaway. 2/3 and 4/5 were battling it out quite a bit through the race. Corey just had the field paced by seconds. Safe to say he did his homework. The andretti axle thing was bizarre. I'm thinking the U-bolts for the truck arms failed...

    Xfinity RACE thread --- COTA

    I was doubting the choice made by Larson to put from third and fall outside the top 10. I don't know how he did it. It's like he went from beyond 10th to 4th on the one restart. I didn't think tires were worth that much here but clearly I'm wrong. If you read some of the interviews, Hill...

    T1 is literally high enough to see 85% of the track. The TV cameras don't do it justice at all.

    My GF and I have GA tickets. We're staying in Round Rock [nearest non-gouging hotel i could find] & commuting down both days. Probably roam on Saturday and stay around T1 on Sunday.

    Nope. Pay has actually gone down while entries has gone up after COVID.

    Has anybody been to a NASCAR event as GA? I've been to COTA for a sports car event several years ago, but completely different circumstances and operations. Next week will be my first time for the NASCAR event. $80 each for GA tickets was had to beat. Just not sure what to bring in - leading...

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- Bristol

    I'm saying 8.5 . I would have liked about 10 more laps on a set of tires. At one point, Bowman was the only car on the lead lap. At least unlike 2008 Indy, NASCAR let the tires do their thing and didn't intervene. Part of me wonders. If they hadn't had the last set of tires given out, how...
