I understand that but what I don't get it why can't nascar be up front about it instead of putting up this public front up that everything is ok? Virtually every supplier I deal with in my job is up front and tells you realistically what to expect.
He has been very, very happy. I like it. He will be a factor in the 500.
I hear you, but I like it. I really do.
What exactly do you need to know? I guarantee you there will be a race every weekend one is scheduled. The fanbase doesnt need to know
Nobody will run out of cars. This isn't my bold prediction....because it isn't bold. I agree with you.
While this may be related to the short-term supply problem, it may also be connected to the limitation on the number of chasses. Who wants one of a limited number tied up for a year? If an exemption is granted, then what do you do when the displayed chassis is returned next year? You'll have to get rid of either it or one of the others you ran last season.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Everything's GREAT!
If the quality of racing is poor at the start of the season and its a direct result guys not taking chances because teams are worried about not having parts for repairs I think the fans should know. Heck we just had one of the major teams sit out a test, I would have to think low inventory was at least part of that decision.
I have to imagine the top teams will be moving through certain chassis fairly quick to start with after the required number of starts anyways. I'd have assume they'll be measuring everything and keeping the ones that are closer to the design spec that they want. Lets be honest while everything is supposed to be the same its a mass produced part and they're not all identical. When you're looking for an advantage you'll take anything you can get.
Do you want your suppliers talking to your customers? I'd go bat-crap if my suppliers were publicly announcing that I had supply problems. I'd also be looking for another supplier.
That's pretty much exactly NOT what the article states.
Objection, your Honor. Learned counsel predicates his argument on the assumption the racing won’t be great, and that supply issues will be the sole cause of questionable racing quality for a new style of car.
What do you mean "taking chances"? They just ran a 17 car draft and no one really knows the answer behind SHR's absence but if Rodney decided it was better to run a SIM and glean some data from FORD then go on track then so be it. If each Team has 2 cars that would mean a pool of cars for most teams to pull from if they needed too. Thats worst case scenario
didn't ya know it is tin foil flying day?
Always doom and gloom
Yeah but contrary to the reality being spoken about by people that actually work in the industry, Racing Forums' amrchair analysts told me that it was all all BS, so I don't buy it this, and also who is "Jayski" anyway? Sounds like some sort of cheesepuffs alternative account spreading baseless rumors again, smh.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Everything's GREAT!
Some Nascar fans, not all work really hard at making something out of nothing. Connie crisis's . 5 cars apiece at the start of the season isn't enough for some.
I think they were the first ones to the toilet paper isle
Eh, might be good having them save their equipment at a Superspeedway.
It's gonna be single file around the top for three hours
Probably won't make any difference to some anyway. They make up their own reality anyhow, but here is what the ones in the know say.
Did Bubba test also? I haven't heard anything about him.
I think he had his shoulder worked on
That makes sense. I was wondering why I hadn't heard anything about him testing.
They're as close as damn is to swearing.
His spotter said on DBC that he hopes to be cleared for a test late this month.
Everything is built to a tolerance. One side of the tolerance is better than the other. Was listening to a CC last week (can't remember who) that said they spent several days with the laser system figuring out the "best" body configuration.
There is one body configuration.
The body is completely made out of carbon fiber, I don't think much massaging the body surfaces is going to happen. But you never know, Toyota and Bondo have been known to attempt it lol. Can't forget Harvicks "blade" either lol.
Thats never happened before right?
This time it will be the car shortage right? lol.
But it's not rigid and you're given a tolerance when it comes to finished product. Does anyone honestly think the big teams are just going to bolt things on without finding the best way to bolt them on? If you're given a 0.030" tolerance and +.030" is better than -.030" I am willing to bet teams find a way to get it +.030". Seriously these are the same guys that figured out what angle you want to run the wiper blade at in dry weather and tried cutting slits in the wraps to manipulate the airflow. If there's an advantage these guys will find it.
You can do what you want within tolerance. So can everyone else. You better not go over, not a millimeter. These bodies cannot be modified in any way. Mounting points are the same for everycar, you cant move them.
