Goldberg had a real tough time tonight.

He thought he drove really well.

Botox alert!

Brown got Ribbs'd

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This one AARP race has seen more personality and sparks flying than the last 3 Cup seasons.

 

[BobbyFord]

How long is this series going to be televised?

 

[Blaze]

[ChexOrWrex]

Mikey doing great is a huge surprise

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Well done on Mikey for losing 55 pounds.

If Waltrip beats Tony, Tony will have to retire from his own series.

What’s the HP on these cars? They seem a bit underpowered.

700 is correct.

“Each SRX car wears a body designed by Ray Evernham, and is powered by an Ilmore 396ci, engine that churns out a roaring 700 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque.”

Weather interruption over my CBS Channel. Dang.

 

[gnomesayin]

I've mostly moved on to watching WoO and ASCoC, but what I saw was decent.

 

[Blaze]

Ugh I can see the race as it’s PIP, but this is annoying as I can’t hear because of the weather man lol

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Ernie Francis has been very impressive these first two weeks

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Use the bumper Hailie.

 

[wi_racefan]

I'm pretty sure smoke kept this one close for the show he was on it tonight

Wish I could’ve got to watch that ending better. But good for Tony.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Another very enjoyable Saturday Night. Can’t wait for Eldora next week

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Another fun race. Looking forward to next week.

 

[Blaze]

Hopefully they put interviews some place. Would love to hear them.

 

[RacerrecaR]

A lot of impressive performances tonight. Hopefully next year SRX is dirt-focused because it seems like these cars were designed for it

I was pretty sure of that all along. I thought his main challenge would be Bloomquist but he really dropped the ball. Hell of a good and legit run for the young lady too.

I’m hoping they have some asphalt to dirt transition tracks.

I think there cars are designed pretty damn well period. They put on a pretty good show last week on the asphalt too

Next week is Eldora.

 

[wi_racefan]

Only improvement I think we need for next week is a better way to keep the cameras on the cars cleaner

They are great cars but with them being identical I feel that dirt provides more passing opportunities and is a better showcase of driver skill. It would also help if the field was stronger (replace Ribbs for sure) to make things more competitive with such a short entry list but that is for another discussion.

How would you feel about them going to Martinsville next year? Or a bigger track like Dover or Rockingham in the future?

Even though he's not really competitive yet I have no problem with Willy T running the series. It's a 6 race made for tv series.

Definitely nothing on bigger tracks. Keep it on local short tracks, that's the whole premise of the series

They're not going to put these guys in their 50s and up in danger on a high speed larger speedway.

I have serious doubts about the longevity of the concept, but if there is a niche to fill, it's on traditional short tracks.

 

[BobbyFord]

I don’t see this series expanding. It’s moderately entertaining.

They can hire you to lay up on the hood with a feather duster can't they?

Funny!

I'm pretty sure the ones that nascar runs have some type of ribbon or something in from of the lens that they can run to keep the picture better. I know when they show some shots you can see them cycling that ribbon or whatever as the debris clears itself from the view

Definitely keep it on short tracks. They're fun and they don't get much exposure on national TV. Might get some new fans to go check out their local race track.

All six weeks of the series.

Really impressed with 19 year old Deegan tonight. She was able to come to the front from whatever position she started in.
