[Charlie Spencer]

[DIDIT]

Holy smokes!

 

[DIDIT]

I am so excited I was thinking this is a race. My bad.

 

[2019PensekeFan]

Whole ton of mud on the windshields and front grills.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Uh,

 

[StandOnIt]

mud flaps?

 

[Blaze]

Damn

 

[MikeInIllinois]

I wonder if they'll cancel qualifying for the track to dry out some more

 

[KTMLew01]

They ain't gonna get much racing done tonight. Too muddy. RUH-ROH TORPEDO WARING FOR WAKE & JOHNSTON CO UNTIL 6:13 PM!!! They done killed my pitcher with NWS bulletin.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

When this was announced, I remember asking what would be the effects of rain.

 

[aunty dive]

No mud scrapers in the pit box?

Rookies.

Been my experience when you mix dirt and water you get mud.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Get rid of the windshield!

 

[MikeInIllinois]

and that's from not much more than a tenth of an inch of rain....they're expecting at least an inch over the next 24 hours.

 

[KTMLew01]

Another NWS alert...

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Been my experience when you mix dirt and water you get mud.

Does this happen on 'normal' dirt tracks?

 

[KTMLew01]

Get rid of the windshield!

These drivers aren't used to yanking tear-offs.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Get rid of the windshield!

That doesn't help the grills or the driver face shields.

 

[DaBiff1618]

Wait, nascar has planned this for months and just now realized drivers are gonna have trouble seeing? Glad they thought this through

 

[KTMLew01]

Does this happen on 'normal' dirt tracks?

Dirt is dirt where I come from. Red clay is REALLY slick tacky dirt.

 

[StandOnIt]

and that's from not much more than a tenth of an inch of rain....they're expecting at least an inch over the next 24 hours.

They've had .46 inches of rain according to weather bug

Packers are back out.

Speedway Mud Scraper

The mud scraper - the most under appreciated piece of equipment that every racer, regardless of skill or funding, needs to have in his trailer come race day. Sometimes, you just need a simple tool to help get the job done. No fancy features, just a bare bones type of tool to tackle the dirtiest...

[Charlie Spencer]

This is going to be a long night.

 

[KTMLew01]

Sounds like they turning the late models loose!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Packers are back out.

Hell, race them!

 

[KodiakRusty89]

The great racing science experiment! NASCAR's answer to March Madness! The more the circus, the more the ridiculousness the better!

Need to scrounge up some spoilers and cut them up to make scrapers.

Haha

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Stupid question - why do the Trucks have problems that the late models apparently don't?

 

[aunty dive]

Can’t HMS get Larson a mask that fits?

Maybe like Briscoe’s.

They don't have a windshield, is my guess as why they don't

 

[DanicaFreak]

Less wheel spin. No windshield

Suspect you know the answer.
