Predictable, but such a joke. Anybody wanna bet that those louvers show up on the Garage 56 farce....or did they come off of the Garage 56 farce? Hard to keep up in the corrupt world of NASCAR.
After he graduates from his new Liberty U classes.
Aw man, the way you were talking, I thought you were going to start a go fund me account to help out the Hendricks.
Honestly pissed as hell WE didn't appeal Pocono. WE took NASCAR seriously. Bad move. This is embarrassing for the sport....but engineers have at it now! It's a whole new NASCAR baby. Pay to play!!!!!
Would’ve been upheld since that was after the race they was busted. Keep that in mind.
If you modify a part, a rule has been broken, right?
Yes and that's why the fine and suspensions were upheld, because the teams "broke" a rule. Penalizing the drivers/cars the points didn't make sense as they didn't actually take to the track with said parts on their cars.
Unless you were at the hearing and have first hand knowledge of the evidence presented, you are just blowing smoke. I have always been in favor of these hearings being broadcast live, but I don't think NASCAR would EVER allow such a thing as it would expose how generally incompetent they have been in administering their rules and making their case for penalties. Hopefully the actual FACTS of this situation will come to light at some point, but I think BOTH sides of the case have a vested interest keeping a tight lid on all the BS that goes on behind the scenes
Do you know Jim? Why would you attack his credibility over something he has no control over, NASCAR handed down severe penalties but the appeal's panel made the decision to reduce it.
I imagine you can modify a part as much as you want as long as you don't compete with it.
The new process
It shouldnt matter when rules are broken.
It's an assumption that no other Chevy teams had issues with them. We don't know and it's unlikely any of teams want to talk about it if they did.
Pretty sure the car never hit the track, they found it before practice.
Many of these things are subjective. A team's perception of breaking a rule may not be the same as NASCAR's. That's WHY there is a pre-competition inspection.
Revman doesn't let facts get in the way of making his Toyotas look better.
Louvers are small parts relatively. They'll just UPS them.
Kind of hard to appeal the inspector lifting the wrap in victory lane and voila, there's the mod. I will give HMS credit for there was at least plausible deniability with how they were busted. That said, I think I agree with you that it's bad optics. HMS living up to their past reputation as "innovators" and NASCAR being popped by an independent board for overreach.
1-800-MARROW2!
How is it even breaking a rule unless you try to compete with it?
A guy with a ski mask and an AK47 outside of a bank has done nothing wrong, right?
That's what Garage 56 is for.
Bull. ****.
100%. Jeffy and Chadly would have you believe that they should be awarded extra points for the embarrassment. I'm sure NASCAR is working on it.
He runs the show, and this part of the show is a real joke man. Really bad. Hard to take this seriously. The '20 Camaro, Garage 56, this....I am sure he is a great human being, but unless you love Hendrick and Chevy, it's hard to take all of this seriously.
Reminds me of this video Larry Mac did.
Why would you?
No he hasn't, but nice deflection
I don't want to live in your world....or at least go into a bank in your world.
Like I said in my other post, to see how much gains you can potentially make in that area. If you trick out something like hood louvers and find out even the best aero design you can come up with only makes 2 counts of downforce, but you trick out the area of the rub blocks (like TRD was doing) and gain 200 counts I guess I'd know where I'd be spending my time trying to maximize the tolerances.
Nobody is stupid enough to believe this, The endless yap will continue. Nascar tried to help out the rice burners because they are getting their asses smoked, but Hendrick was able to prove to the independent panel that their WAS a communication problem so they got their points back. So go cry a river.
Where'd you hear this?
I bet just like all the other cars on the grid that day if they dug deep enough it wasn't 100% legal.
Well, at least he wasn't there when they chopped the b**ls off the motors at TRD's behest. Then he'd have too much egg on his face to ever recover.
We've been down this road once already. Last year when TRD had that brief time when they were killing everyone one the 1.5 milers they had figured out how to seal up the rub blocks to gain a ton of downforce. Nascar got wise to it and instead of dropping the hammer on them they allowed the other manufacturers to do it as well and just like that the Toyota domination was gone. People tried to claim that once they took the tape on the nose away they lost it, but in reality that tape didn't do crap it was the sealing up of the rub block area.
