Good job keeping it out of the wall.

Byron had a nice catch out of four, they look like a handful.

That was different seeing the rear end bunny hop

Hate the zoomie camera work.

No sideforce is a total game changer. Holy smokes

Wonder if Nascar will want to look at the shrapnel?

 

[KTMLew01]

 

[KTMLew01]

I believe camera guy has had a few.

It will be examined by an expert panel consisting of several pharmacists and a half dozen ****tail waitresses.

 

[KTMLew01]

I suspect that is a remote operated camera with some gearbox issues.

Take it back to the shop, bolt on clip. Stories of a local legend, welding a clip on in a hotel parking lot before winning at speed week.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

listen to post 3587. If that doesn't work for ya, I don't know what to tell ya

So there was no technical reason? The heat issue doesn't seem worth that, since the old right-side pipes were already facing the stands anyway.

That brings back some old memories. I remember around 98 or 99 I was working on an A-Fuel dragster team and we kicked a rod out of the side of the block and it damaged the chassis in Houston TX. We stripped the car that night and removed the back half of the chassis and had it flown to the California shop to be repaired. While it was being repaired we headed to Indy and when it arrived we rented a pickup truck to haul it from the airport to the hotel and then we put the car back together in the hotel parking lot. Those were the good old days.

I'm not sure why they still couldn't do this? Need to see bottom of new car.

 

[KTMLew01]

I suppose the problem with this design, from back when it DID run out both sides, is everything is covered underneath new car. That would trap all the heat.

 

[KTMLew01]

21 almost crashed

 

[KTMLew01]

12 has flat LR tire!

 

[KTMLew01]

43 got in the fence

Looks like LR is down?

 

[KTMLew01]

He stopped and consulted with ground crew. Is driving it back now. Doesn't look like he touched the wall. Just another flat left rear.

 

[Nitro Dude]

These cars sound bad azz.

how well I remember the ol Matt isn't driving a complete Penske car

Apples to Oranges with an entirely new car.

You know this.

yet another sign that there isn't any difference.

Stenhouse in-car. Looks like a new hatch thing a ma jig above the driver's head

 

[StandOnIt]

Cooling changes

[SpeedPagan]

Honestly the only thing I'd change about the NextGen car is the giant 8 inch spoiler. Put 4 inch spoilers on all the tracks and see how that works out.

Yep, but data says this and that.

Good to see you back, btw. Hope all is well for you.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I really want to be cautiously optimistic but watching listening to Stenhouses in-car camera I'm not expecting much.

 

[StandOnIt]

That works around here also

Spinning Larson

 

[Spotter22]

Notice anything different?

 

[SpeedPagan]

I will say, the fact that drivers are spinning out fills me with some confidence. It means the cars aren't as planted as they once were. Maybe drivers will have to start lifting again, which is always a good thing.

 

[KTMLew01]

#3 is BACK!

Wonder if that is same car?

Looks like same car as no graphics on nose or rear panel.

 

[Spotter22]

Notice anything different?

Besides the wheel itself

Besides the wheel itself

I find it funny that when I brought up possible electric guns in the past so many people said they were capable of doing it. Yet here they are using them again....

Thats not what I was referring to. Reverse thread is the answer

Left-hand threaded hub and wheel nut.

For the right sides.
