Cup RACE thread --- Watkins Glen

Looks like just about the right amount of rain

They own the game.

How the world works ... a foreign concept, I’m sure.

Changing the rules mid season or mod race kills the sport integrity

One of my favorite tracks on the schedule. The first racetrack I attended in person. Love the racing @ The Glen. In the rain, not so much.

Where's that LeMans Chevy with the headlights?

He doesn't know what WE are going to get..What did he do just wake up? They are going to be all over the place... and Elliott is going to be gone

Cheers, everyone

Im ready for this !, I will be shocked if they make it through turn 1 though.

I think they’ll tiptoe and make it through, and warm up to it. I don’t think anyone wants to be that guy right off the bat.

You’d prefer to gamble on a calamitous start.

I don’t. Integrity is not part of this equation. Just my opinion, of course.

 

[Brentford]

Not sure how I feel about Byron having to start in the back in these conditions. I'd probably just hang out several seconds behind the pack for the start. It's a long race, no point in getting taken out on the first turn.

 

[Greg]

That's a lot rain on the track.

I'm not saying it's the wrong call but randomly changing rules is a bad thing period

I hope it doesnt happen but we might get a delay for standing water

 

[aunty dive]

Is there a penalty if your mudflaps fall off?

j/k

If they're made of tungsten.

No

The yotas have theirs taped up

 

[LARRY]

I wasnt necessarily meaning someone was going to be "that guy", first turn in the rain with this new car, its new ball game for them .

No doubt you are right , they will be tip-toeing for a few laps.

Larson does NOT sound confident.

Predicting a disasterous race of self destruction today by the 5 team.

Headed for pit road again. Looking at the chicane.

 

[Greg]

The simple thing to build a progressive vortex is to drop the green with a 50 mph max speed limit.
Then 55 next lap, 60 the next until achieving max speed.

**** this man.

Race will get called due to darkness.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Thank goodness for 3pm starts.

 

[Spotter22]

**** this man.

Race will get called due to darkness.

Plenty of time

 

[HoneyBadger]

All this talk about rain and this gonna be a dry race.

Get the rental company on the phone and gets some light towers out there

I'd through a fit considering we're supposed to be able to race in rain, but we have to learn from past failures such as Cota. We don't want to see that disaster again.

 

[StandOnIt]

Bring out the cars and then?

 

[BobbyFord]

Good lord, either throw the green or call the race until tomorrow…FFS

 

[Spotter22]

They are still gonna start in the wet

If only there was a way to start these races before late afternoon showers move in.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Pretty obvious that racing in the rain is more problematic than it is entertaining or even doable

 

[Spotter22]

Probably stripped the spline on Rockenfella

 

[Spotter22]

why? You guys need to grab a beer and calm down

 

[wi_racefan]

Is changing the wiper on the 77 an unapproved adjustment?

Every other road course racing series has been doing it for 100 years
