    Help with authenticity of Tony Stewart Lug nuts

    Nearly all circle track lugnuts (NASCAR and otherwise) are made by the same company - Kluhsman Racing Components. The yellow paint is required, called "Safety Yellow". The lug nuts are never to be re-used in competition (but typically car at the sportsman level)...

    I was in Calif seeing Family from Weds to Yesterday. Logged 560 miles of driving in 4 days. 1) No, Dallas does not know how to drive in snow. When DFWites learn to drive in the sun, we'll discuss teaching them to drive in snow. Dad says we only got a small amount; other parts of DFW got several...

    Build thread + Racing Updates

    So, here I thought I had updated this thread during/after the brake saga... So what happened was.... When I ordered the Fab 9" from Strange, I was not paying attention and notbody from Strange ever asked to confirm... Their fab housing/brake setups by default are intended to clear a 15"...

    Tony Stewart

    I don't know if it's been covered, but Tony will be in the car again for 2025. Leah wants to stay out and "mom" for an extra year before getting back in. Possible that Tony may stay in the car and Leah would be 2nd car.

    I am bewildered that Miami and Las Vegas are listed by city, but October only says "USA" instead of "Austin".....

    2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix

    It was better than last years. I crashed at lap 14, and picked up at lap 15 this morning. I would love to know the no-call on that one by Stewards. I was laughing my tail off. I couldn't figure out what it was.... I wanna know what they are paying her to be a pretty face that jumps out of...

    Random NHRA

    We had friends at the track and there is a video of the crash landing itself. Per Alan Reinhart on the PA and NHRA.tv , the occupants are expected to live thanks to the swift response and action by the safety safari. One of the RVs had Ron Capp's family in it when it was hit. (For those that...

    Rick Ware Racing

    Rick Ware has made it known on the NHRA side that he wants to add a second car. Maybe he's seeing Tony Stewart syndrome. Running Top Fuel is ~5 Million a year for one car and ~8 Mil for 2 cars. About 1/4 the cost of one cup car, 1/5 less for 2 cup cars, etc. And wayyyy less drama at the...

    Backing in

    I back in at home because it fits our situation better - GF and I are side by side in front of the garage in a corner and dad's work van goes around the circular driveway in front of us. In public I prefer to back in, because I can see where the bumper (or trailer ball) lands right on the white...
