they spent 178 million dollars renovating Phoenix recently...there is your sign. You flipper people have no idea what kind of deals the tracks have with tax breaks, depreciation, access to the tracks etc, just hey let go here or lets go there.
Yep, that's pretty much the automatic response whenever somebody disagrees with ya.
I'm not sold on Autoclub would be my only ? California for some reason doesn't pull in the ratings or the crowds. I do think the track will do well when they get it finished. I agree Phoenix will get a few years before it is moved. 178 million is going to take awhile for return on investment.
IF they did anything with Texas there are three options. 1. turn it into a tri oval flat track, add progressive banking like Kansas which you will just love, or turn it into a super speedway like Atlanta which of course you don't like that either. lol.
Never mind bud you are so emotional it isn't worth discussing. I'm sure we will have other discussions about Texas in the future.
Welcome back
I am glad to see you’re keeping up your Oklahoman Know-It All Schtick. Boomer Sooner
I never thought about that area being over saturated, that's a new one to think about. One thing though, the East coast has no problems with doing that though? Agter the clash, the race at Autoclub didn't seem to be affected. Attendance was still so so. Vegas and Phoenix had no problems.
I have no idea what you are talking about and I don't follow football, but do we want to go down the road of personal attacks...we can go there and I will let this one go, but I really don't think it is a good place to go bud.
Ratings, It's part of the big picture. You sluffed it off, but I posted that the most expensive seating/RV spots were sold out this year 2 weeks befor the race. These spots go for thousands of revenue. I posted awhile back that compared to other races, the Texas races for years ratings are in the top third overall of the yearly races. You don't like the race I get it, many don't. I wonder if it is the same bunch that didn't like Bristol myself.
Your threats mean nothing to me, I’m also not your bud. The wise crack on me earlier today about taking a break from here was not warranted and then you follow it up again by saying welcome back when I posted about learning so much in this thread. Initially that’s on me for even mentioning it, I’ve taken off season breaks before and just kind of left for a month or two. Again shouldn’t have mentioned it this time for cases like this. I’m not sure anyone has told you this on here and you can take it personally if you want but you come across as a know it all. It’s sometimes nauseating interacting with you as your quick to shout down posters you don’t agree with or ones that come across as what you coined “death bedders” because sometimes...not all the time... but sometimes their opinion differs from yours. We’ve had a few dustups in the past and other times have gotten along fine. This time I’m not a fan of the interaction because I was talking to another poster this morning and you decided to interject yourself rather rudely and then take a shot at me for mentioning I was taking a break. Then did it again now.
Last time I looked more than one person can comment on topics. There is a private conversation feature though. Me and a few others use it sometimes.
I didn’t have a problem at all with you interacting with what we were taking about. The problem I had with was the apparent need for making fun of me about taking a break and then needing to take us to task about what we were discussing in the race thread when we respectfully waited 48 hours for the race to end and with the discussion shifted to tracks that could hold the final races, you felt the need to loudly tell us this is the race thread, show us a thread for the 23 schedule while asking us (with a huge hint of a condescending tone) if we had seen it. I mean the race had been done for close to 48 hours. The race thread will be forgotten by tomorrow evening, we couldn’t have our opinions on what we thought the final race should be held?
Sorry if your feelings were hurt. BTW there were plenty of posts about the championship race in Phoenix thread, of course you won't agree with that, but it is what it is. I will continue to post there because there will be more to post all week usually on the championship thread. BTW there are numerous threads about moving this race here or there, so how about posting one, something along the lines of where should we move the championship race or something along those lines. There are a handful of posters that do that kind of stuff.
But my feelings weren’t hurt. You know I expect to be treated with dignity, fairness, and an open mind, I try to do that with other posters on here and feel I get along pretty well with most everyone. The fact that you “think my feelings were hurt” tells me you DGAF about what I’m trying to point out here and why I reacted how I did. As a 38 year old, I don’t want to be talked to like I’m back in middle school, you do this a lot imo. I was annoyed with your tone, my feelings were not hurt in the least bit. You can also point out who can post what to the all other posters in the race thread before me about moving races here there and everywhere.
my advice would be to get a thicker skin because I don't think I do that, or use your ignore button. This is a discussion forum, it isn't an agree with everything I say forum
But I know that going in it’s a discussion forum. I’m not looking for anyone to agree with me and again you’re totally missing the point of what I said. We didn’t have a disagreement on topic. The disagreement here is how you addressed me. At the end of the day it’s the old “you need thicker skin” retort, great advice. I’d rather have a colonoscopy than take your advice.
That will work. Thanks for yet another insult lol, ya know respect and all that.
Dismissing everything I pointed about by Telling me I need thicker skin isn’t an insult? How did I insult you in telling you I wasn’t going to take your advice?
I thought it was good advice myself.
Yes of course you did. I’m taking my own advice of going to sleep now.
i burned my mouse wheel out scrolling through the last couple of pages.
JUst FYI NASCAR doesnt own Texas SMI does.Of course Texas isn't going anywhere, because NASCAR has invested too much into the facilities, and it's a great market they are still trying to capture. That's the ONLY reason it's hanging by a thread.
Why do you think they are talking about reconfiguration? They realize the track sucks. But but but the TV ratings!!!!!!!!!
ISC no longer exists, it was dissolved in 2019 and also NASCAR certainly would consider a final at a non NASCAR track. Many factors are involved behind the scenes and TV Networks have a huge say in what NASCAR does.
