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...

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...

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...

to our resident grandma and keeper-in-liner, @TexasRaceLady ! Happy ageless birthday, yesterday!

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...

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...

I actually like it. https://www.nhra.com/news/2021/toyota-unveils-new-gr-supra-funny-car-body-2022-nhra-season

Just going to leave this here.

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

Unbeknownst to many, slot car racing is alive and very real. @Nitro Dude semi-final'd in brackets and won supergas (a fixed index) this weekend. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2HaU35aanPu2wwBe6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/G8dAjBmPQ66PNW3v8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/7GUrCUGxpwG2bzAM8...

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 ...

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 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...

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.

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...

Went from being generally unemployed over summer to now working 2 jobs consistently, have a 3rd 'project' that i've wayyyy behind on, and had a 4th project popped on my last week with a hard 2-week completion time. I'm learning new things *every day* at the new job. Met with an industry...

Here’s what happened: Just after dinner one night, my son came up to tell me there was “something wrong” with one of the two lizards he holds prisoner in his room. “He’s just lying there looking sick,” he told me. “I’m serious, Dad . Can you help?” I put my best lizard-healer expression on my...
