2016 Bristol - Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race - Pre Race Thread

[aunty dive]

Hopefully Kenny Wallace will lead alot of laps as the pole sitter in his 8 circuit city car

Took the words out of my mouth. In the other universe.

 

[jws926]

Okay, guess weather channel couldn't even predict the weather for an hour. Wth do they offer a 10 day forecast

LMAO..........The Weather Channel?, that thing is still covering weather?, last I heard, it became another "reality" TV network

 

[29-4]

LMAO..........The Weather Channel?, that thing is still covering weather?, last I heard, it had "reality" shows too

I still check their website sometimes, can't remember the last time I actually turned to the channel

 

[Michfan]

Well, I'll watch the cubs game, I guess

Still channeling that Sumerian deity, I see.

Ahh, the website, that makes sense.

would making bristol pavement again help

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Adds special rosin to bottom groove...

Rains

LOL

Figures.

The track now is multigroove, which is somewhat what it was when it was pavement. So if the goal is to get back to a one-lane race track, don't think so.

Rosin or resin?

 

[Brentford]

As soon as it looks like we have an opening, a new shower/storm pops up. Not too sure this thing will happen. The line of storms is down near Pigeon Forge which isn't too terribly far from the track.

 

[Johali]

Rosin or resin?

Rosin, also called colophony or Greek pitch (Latin: pix græca), is a solid form of resin obtained from pines and some other plants, mostly conifers, produced by heating fresh liquid resin to vaporize the volatile liquid terpene components.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

According to the radar, a small thunderstorm just passed over the track. Bristol Motor Speedway is within the (+) east of Kingsport.

EDIT: The radar image is a few minutes old, so my above statement is an assumption.

I'm glad someone else noticed. They think they are rock stars.

Okay, that makes more sense now.

We call it all "rawzin" round here!

So all rosin is resin, but not all resin is rosin? Revelatory.

 

[R Clarence]

It's sticky stuff.

Over-analytical buncha.....

Up until the early eighties you couldn't walk through the woods in this part of the world without seeing resin buckets on pine tree's hanging below weeps. It was a big industry here for two or three hundred years.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

After hanging with this bunch for the last 20 minutes, I'll never again criticize how the networks fill rain-delay times.

 

[Pat]

It's sticky stuff.

Over-analytical buncha.....

 

[Johali]

Hell the race is in a rain delay, whatcha spect?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Drivers called to their cars

 

[Michfan]

Drivers called to their cars

Boogity

 

[Kiante]

Over-analytical buncha.....

That's my job as a millennial, I question everything and I have to know why.

 

[Pat]

Thank goodness the delay is over. Covers off the cars!

 

[aunty dive]

 

[ChexOrWrex]

My body is ready for the vortex theory. Rain rain go away

 

[Kiante]

Boogity

Let's go racing boys, a man-child, and lady.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

"10 minutes", per nascar

 

[R Clarence]

I'll never again criticize how the networks fill rain-delay times.

I won't either.

Watching the Colts game....

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Before regular pre-race ceremonies, "Proud to be an American" was playing in the background while NBC announcers were talking.

I'm disappointed - it's part of what makes Bristol night race special! ESPN used to air "Proud to be an American" before regular pre-race ceremonies.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I won't either.

Watching the Colts game....

Let me know if you see a woman, late '70s, Colts-blue Afro wig, still seated in the 4th quarter when the 3rd stringers are all that's left. That's my aunt.

 

[racefan41]

[R Clarence]

Let me know if you see a woman, late '70s,
