Rate The Races: Texas 1 and Bristol 1

Apparently, Bristol was a 1 because of the number of fans.

That's what I saw on Twitter anyway. The stands weren't full so that means the race sucked. :rolleyes:
 
2 X 8

There were a bunch of cars. They raced hard till somebody won ... both places.
 
The Air Force is treating me good and I'm loving the base so far. A lot of studying, but it comes with the territory of having this AFSC.
Aha. Wrong branch but still the military. Brain fart. Glad you're doing good bud. Keep it up. :D
 
Texas: 5. Kind of disappointing.

Bristol: 8. Although difficulty passing at larger tracks (like Texas) is a bad thing, I enjoy watching cars have a difficult time passing at short tracks like Bristol.
 
Texas: 798 gazillion. TRD powered Kyle Busch to the top, baby!!!!!!!!
Bristol: 797 gazillion. TRD powered Carl Edwards to the top, baby!!!!!!!!
 
Bristol Xfinity: 10 (absolute shocker because it's been unwatchable the rest of the season)

Bristol Cup: 5, so so race about the same as Texas. That's the only time this season Xfinity will be a better race then cup
 
Texas 9.0. Awesome to see racers racing, unlike prior years when extreme aero dependence and clean air was everything. A further step to reduce down force and side force even more would be perfection.

I know I'm in the minority here, but my main hot button is that the race should be a skill-based meritocracy, and Texas Motor Speedway is as tough and demanding as they come IMO. The high speeds and worn bumpy surface really separate the contenders from the pretenders. Those who moan about cookie cutters and such, well, they just don't see racing the same way I see racing.

Bristol is 8.5. Passing is tough but possible. It's not supposed to be easy. It's also not supposed to be impossible. Bristol has a great balance IMO, but does suffer when a late restart unfairly penalizes the outside line.

This is where I'm at.
