    Rest in Peace Auto Club

    I know there were plans to create a short track in place of the two mile race track, but honestly I haven't heard anything about those plans for a long time. Damn, it is hard to keep a track going in Southern California for longer than a couple of decades.

    Is this actually faster, or does it just look cool?

    I follow a lot of dirt racing pages on various social media platforms because I do love dirt racing. From time to time, they'll post pictures like this. Granted this does look cool, but is it actually faster? In my mind, you'd want all four tires on the racing surface for better control and...

    NASCAR needs better road penalties

    With NASCAR's race control no doubt receiving up to date data from the 38 cars on the field, there's no real reason for the "full stop or pass through" penalty that NASCAR has implemented for road courses. Of course this only seems to be a problem on the Charlotte Roval but if the Roval is...

    Talladega II Bonehead Of The Race

    Surprised this hasn't been posted yet. My vote would be Harvick for getting DQ for not having the windshield properly secured on his car.

    Karting as a hobby

    Background: Back in the 90s, my brother actually raced flat-karts in the Southeast USA, and he was good enough to win track championships and won state championship in Virginia, USA. I'll be honest, as a kid I wasn't mature enough like my brother to really understand or know how to race. My...

    What is the point of the sprint race in 2023?

    In 2021, FIA introduced sprint racing to Formula 1, a 100km race that would set the grid for the Grand Prix on Sunday. As someone who is a huge fan of stock car racing and dirt racing this made sense to me. You have qualifying to set the grid for the sprint race (or heat race in dirt racing...

    Exciting Opening Laps in an iRacing Limited Late Model race.

    I'm in the blue and white 13s virtual machine. Those first couple of laps were awesome! I did end up getting the win.

    Lower Series on Flo Racing?

    I know Flo Racing covers mostly USAC sanctioned events, but do they ever cover things like street stock or hornet class, the local racing class?

    Stupid question is stupid: Renting a car

    My brother, dad & I got to talking last night about the 600cc Micros I saw on Wednesday night. Somehow the conversation got around to it being a good series for me to get into because the motors they run (motorcycle motors) are bullet proof. So now I'm actually looking into seeing how much...

    Race pics & experience

    So last night I went to Millbridge Speedway in my adopted hometown. There were three classes: Jr Sprint (elementary school kids), Intermediate Sprint which is a slightly bigger sprint kart & the 600 Micros. The Jrs actually put on a good show in their feature. The kart that won didn't do...

    Rate the Race: All Star - Texas

    1/10 Just, way too many gimmicks. C'mon NASCAR, bring back the 900 hp engines, the low downforce and let teams battle it out for 400 laps with no stage breaks.

    Bonehead of The Week: Kansas

    Before the bull**** tire caution, my vote would've been for Ryan Newman's team for flaring out his car's body, not realizing that NASCAR watches these pit stops like a hawk now. However, my vote would 100% have to go to that bull**** tire caution. NASCAR introduce stages so that they can...

    Banner size limit

    Can we get a limit on banner size, some of the posters on here have forum banners (signature) that are just ridiculously big.

    Netflix's The Crew

    Has anyone watched this new Netflix series? I watched the first episode and that was enough for me. I just didn't find it funny, like at all. It was poorly edited and the sets looked cheaply made. Honestly, was anyone asking for a comedy show about a NASCAR team? I don't really remember...

    How long does Lionel take?

    Back in June of 2020, I ordered a Bubba Wallace #BLM car (let's keep politics out of this please) and it's been on "Waiting for fulfillment" ever since then. How long does it take for Lionel to ship out online orders?

    Trains, at night!

    Last night I went to a photoshoot session at the North Carolina Transportation Museum where I was able to get tons of pictures of not only the Queen of Steam, Norfolk & Western #611. But also Southern Railway's #6133, an FP7A unit.

    Which gimmick worked, which didn't.

    Didn't work: The under-glow: Honestly I found the under-glow to be half-assed. I was expecting Kurt Busch's at the burn-out in Nashville level of under-glow. However, we just got a half-assed attempt, might as well not done it at all Choose Cone (parts): Now I liked the idea of the Choose...

    Quaker State 400 Bonehead

    I'm going to go with Jimmie Johnson. He obviously had a race winning car, but decided to be stupid and tried to block Kezlowski and got spun.

    Stupid guy with a stupid question

    In dirt racing, what is a metric car, and how does this differentiate from other dirt cars?
