    Tasca embarrasses FOX

    If anybody has seen the new IndyCar on Fox commercials, they are branding it as "The fastest motorsports". And Bob Tasca took that issue up during his first round interview this morning.

    Kalitta / Langdon Incident

    I don't think this got much press yesterday, but the delay was long enough they had to finish the race today (Monday). 2 hours into the cleanup the temperatures fell below raceable conditions. If you look closely, you can see the Ring Gear make an appearance behind the injector hat on Doug's...

    GP of Arlington

    Just heard about this today like everybody else. The Institution of Higher Education that I work at has to be involved in some way - the logistics just don't work out otherwise, considering we share alot of space in the business district and have tight alliances with AT&T Stadium and Globe Life...

    Road Course GenAdm

    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...

    Rick Ware, Tony Stewart, Hendrick, and...Charters

    So some news has come out recently involving the three of these...in Drag Racing. Most everybody knows Tony came over to our side. Not as many may know that Rick Ware Racing bought Clay Millican's operation last year. Even fewer may know that Hendrick has signed a long-term deal to sponsor...

    Build thread + Racing Updates

    New car = New Thread. Dad went by the other day to pick up the windows, headers, and other misc small parts. All the bodywork has been repaired, primered, and block sanded. They sprayed a test panel and it came out good. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Q3cHNVtpusRNSovq6...

    Bob Unkefer

    Most probably don't know the name. He was an NHRA racer for years, then "retired" from driving and was a full-time announcer across the country. He announced in Baton Rouge and Phoenix this year, but started getting sick & had some screenings done. He missed our OklaCity race, and revealed he...

    5.7 Hemi valvetrain issues...

    Couple weeks ago had the CEL come on for oil pressure switch performance. Scrolled in the VHIC and pressure was down about 10psi from recalled normal - still over 20psi idle and over 40psi cruise. Had an oil change done ASAP and pressures went back to 30/55+. A week and a half goes by, I'm...

    roof hatch

    Noticed on the in-shot on the 18 that he has a roof hatch on the car. Noticed on the shot of the 11 that he has it too. But I didn't see it on the 22. I knew it was team elect, but I didn't think many were actually putting them in the cars. 19 has it too

    NitroDude's Racing Adventures

    Op-Ed: Living on the road

    This comes from a writer in the NHRA world, but i can only imagine how much worse it is with NASCAR's 38 week schedule versus NHRA's 24 week. I'm sure @Spotter22 has some input on the topic alongside @Nitro Dude ...

    Heights are not okay

    Spent the last 2 nights working a contract job (self employed) atop a 20' scissorlift running cat6 cable in a conduit (with typical SNAFUs involved). Not as bad as when I was atop a 20' extension ladder against a perlin, but I would still much prefer a solid scafford or an actual subfloor for...

    New In-Car Safety Rules

    New rules for door cars - Starting at Pro-Mods but I bet it will trickle down to Pro Stock and then Top Sportsman. @Nitro Dude probably has heard alot about this on the Pro side. ---- The fifth, and might be a big one for some addresses new panel placement and the date in which chassis’ built...

    Survivor

    For those that watch... things must have hit the fan. Jeff's blog on EW says he can't comment, and the finale will be on a 4-hour tape delay instead of live like it normally is.

    GM taking FCA to court

    https://carbuzz.com/news/general-motors-takes-fiat-chrysler-to-court The whole thing smells like a waste of time and money to me... So GM is crying because FCA union members have a luxurious deal, and when GM union members asked for something similar, GM cried and had a fit for 4 weeks before...
