Nex Gen restart/drafting practice at Daytona today

RCR has engine trouble now. It's an epidemic.

Must have been engine management (computer) issue. Back on the track.

Just speeds from testing, imagine will be different come Feb.

Looks ideal to me

Appears Yota is reliving their entry into the sport. Pin fell out of that grenade. How do you blow up a $100K engine that only makes 510 HP? Yikes!

Yawn.

 

[Revman]

Pretty much, better to have an issue now than the 500.

That's what testing is for......engineers love a failure in testing when they can figure it out....aka "the limit."

non-destructive testing and then there is KaBloom destructive testing

From what I saw, the Penske's were love-bugging it more often than not. (Not a tactic used by people concerned with tearing up equipment, by the way.)

They had me holding my breath lol. Same ol pack racing at a Super. I thought the cars looked more stable. Hard to tell though, it wasn't the last ten laps.

Me too. They'd change positions every couple of laps. I don't know if they were just taking turns pushing or (I hope!) testing the viability of the tandem. I know some didn't like it but it's the only form of superspeedway racing I've truly enjoyed in the last 20 years.

I wonder if they swapped position to cool the pusher car?

Quite possible. I'm just grabbing at any straws that look like the return of Pushmi-Pullyu.

I think they fixed it with the hood vents, ducting, and all so they can hook up and push to their hearts content. Time will tell when it gets hot if they got it right or not.
