Not you. I didnt see a word out of you about cold, track not taking rubber and rain until I just brought it up Mr Monday Morning Crew Chief.April in Virginia, who would have EVER guessed that was a possibility?
All true, just letting Mr I told you so know he's not the prognosticator he thinks he is. Spring race at Martinsville has always been a crap shoot.
Both Martinsville dates are terrible for weather. Fall date is getting better because it seems like these seasons are later now, hot in the fall, warm in early winter, cold in late winter and spring.
Which takes a bad idea and makes it even worse. My point is they could run run this thing at night on July 4th, and it it STILL wouldn't be as good as a warm day race. Running it in April with this car with this package on this tire was an absolute receipe for a boring result. There seems to be a total disconnect of logic on things like this in Daytona Beach and in Akron. I have come to the conclusion that if you EVER had to concede a SINGLE point to me you would just burst into flames.
Show me the post where you said that.
the crawfish will be next wait for it lol
That’s some deep stuff.
You're supposed to say, I hate to tell you so but I told you guys months ago and not one of you believed me that crews weren't tightening the lug nuts and any !#$$@ idiot knew they would do that.
This is a good comment, thanks for sharing. I thought it was insightful and something I’m going to find out More about. But you’re missing something....and Stand On It already alluded to it...you’re supposed to remind everyone of you were always right and tell us we are idiots for never listening. But in all seriousness...good stuff.
Isn't this a question of torque? Isn't that adjustable on the gun?
I imagine its like pretty much any impact, they have a torque curve. The more you let it hammer the more it tightens. You wouldn't want to decrease the pressure to lower the torque because that would slow the rpm's of the gun down. So to control the torque they're trying to control the number of times the gun hammers.
Thanks. I've never used an impact tool.
The question is Will you after this dissertation?
If I haven't had reason to use one by now, I doubt I'll have reason to every do so.
I'm sorry I wasnt making fun of you. I hope it didnt come off like that, sometimes the way you post I get a chuckle out of it. I know I took it the wrong way when I first started posting here, I didnt mean harm.
No, you didn't come across that way at all. I just saw the
reaction and wondered what inspired it. That's all, no offense taken, you sumbich.
Going to a single nut would cause wheels to come spinning off more often than Elon Musk posts stupid tweets.
As I incorrectly recall, there were maybe five runaway or broken wheels in the first three races, then none until one at COTA. Learning curve, same as Hamlin breaking a transmission when he forgot the new pattern.
I wish they would have stayed with 5 but to go back now will cost a crap load of money.
I dont think they are going back
who knows, five lugs aren't going to magicly appear this year, it isn't an off the shelf fix. Suck it up buttercups, they got what they got.
Maybe they can add some Duck Tape for now
