RACE thread --- Open and All-Star -- Texas

[ChexOrWrex]

An hour is a bit too long between the open and the main event.

They keep stressing how the drivers will be racing so hard, going all out, because there is nothing on the line. Well with 500hp or whatever the hell they are running, they will be going all out regardless. They don't even lift until the tires start to fade! How do they expect to pass when they aren't making significant power or even touching the brakes?

NASCAR should have gone the opposite way with this. 900hp, small spoiler, soft tires.

Format reminder:

 

[BobbyFord]

And?

And he isn’t going to win tonight.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Did he just say “The Big D”?

Hahahahahaha

 

[BobbyFord]

Who doesn’t love the Cowboy Cheerleaders?

 

[Mike Crayne]

Stupid place for the allstar race.

Stupid format.

Stupid start time.

The cheer leaders aint bad.

 

[StandOnIt]

Ah they love KDB in Texas

 

[BobbyFord]

Woody forgot his hat

 

[ChexOrWrex]

The reverb on that singer’s mic is awful. Sheesh.

 

[StandOnIt]

That cameraman seems to like that one

 

[AdoubleU24]

The cars coming thru the rodeo gate is a hilarious touch

Can't blame the mic or sound engineer for a concert with speakers and acoustics (track design with bleachers) not designed for concert-level quality

 

[StandOnIt]

Ross should have made a hat out of that melon

I don’t know which one you’re talking about but I do too.

Nobody even looks excited to be there, except Dibenedetto

 

[Greg]

Let’s be honest, nobody in The Open has a legitimate shot at winning the main event.

It seems that way but Michael Waltrips first cup win was a Charlotte all star race that he raced his way into during the open.

Well, it’s 500hp

So the odds are…

Time to start drinking more, so maybe I'll stop complaining

If you squint hard enough, your clock is kinda shaped like Texas. I see you.

That's the first thing everyone always says about that clock, LOL

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Bryson looks older than Christopher Bell.

 

[wi_racefan]

I think clint would be the perfect guy for a grid walk

[TommyGunn]

I think Mikey just lost his Job- great job Bryson!

 

[RacerrecaR]

Bryson seems like a good kid but he has a looooong way to go in order to become even half as good at his job as his dad was

... That's the point of his internship.

To think he's old enough for that now, wow...

 

[BobbyFord]

I get chicken skin every time I hear that song and see those military aircraft.

 

[Greg]

We can't be post Covid until the Innovations and National Anthems is filled with hawt hawt shots of the wimmins on pit road.
This is all about bouncing back and we can't be whole and have any hope for a better tommorow without some eye candy.

I just finished cutting up a nice ice cold cantaloupe and sprinkled it with a light coating of salt and pulled a frozen mug out of the freezer for and ice cold root beer... and now it is almost show time.

Nice! I like a bit of fresh ground pepper on my cantaloupe

 

[StandOnIt]

Damn, I am going to miss Fox next week.

 

[Hotrod]

I watched the NHRA at Epping today. Haven’t done that in years.

John Force still makes me laugh.
