Just time enough before the race to grab some supper.

[Spotter22]

Needed adjustments more then likely

Radials on dirt is a mystery for most people.

Dirt on Bristol is too...

 

[Spotter22]

I know exactly how those boys feel

 

[racingfan7]

I’m probably in the minority but an ice racing exhibition would be sweet like how they did Japan

 

[Spotter22]

yikes. slippery out there

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I know exactly how those boys feel

And I have no clue.

Another aspect of this I'm unfamiliar with. What's the difference?

Radials on dirt is a mystery for most people.

Considering they changed from a radial to bias ply tires this year.

I know, you wouldn't know the difference

The spring rate of radial tires is a lot higher than the bias ply’s rate. Radial construction results in stiffer sidewalls.

Much different “feel”.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Hocevar blow up?

 

[Spotter22]

And I have no clue.

Cold is cold i guess even in the stands but quite a breeze up there in the spotters stand at Bristol

 

[Speedbowl14]

Isolated carnage so far luckily

You are mistaken.

“Notes – Trucks move to new dirt track radial: NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series teams will be running two new Goodyear tire codes compared to what they ran on the Bristol dirt track in 2022 . . . the changes mirror those that Cup Series teams had rolled in last season, just in a 15-inch version – (1) a switch from bias play to radial and (2) a slight modification to the block-style tread pattern, now with beveled edges to better grab the dirt . . . as on most NASCAR ovals one mile or less in length, Truck teams will not run inner liners in their tires on the Bristol dirt track.”

My apologies, I misunderstood which guys you were referring to. I should have known.

Looks like it

I had to remember Trucks and X tires can still fit an inner liner.

now you know im a hell of a driver Charlie

 

[Speedbowl14]

Looks like a moderate shower gonna hit the track in 10-20 minutes. Hopefully they can continue without delay

Yes, thanks to the smaller wheel diameter. There’s more room.

looks heavy

Surprising that Byron was junk in the heats

 

[Spotter22]

Davenport might be figuring this thing out

 

[BobbyFord]

The “high power line was busted” on the 42.
IOW, they blew a PS pressure line.

Kaden Honeycutts is on a Transformative pace.

Nah, you gotta run second to be transformative.

 

[Spotter22]

JD might have gotten hit in the LR

 

[Greg]

Nah, you gotta run second to be transformative.

I am thinking they could set up a team of about 5 transformer drivers.

Autobots or Decepticons?

Tennessee just called and said to cut out that Trans shieiiit.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Bias ply or radials, there seem to be a lot of tire incidents today.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Mikey keeps telling us how much fun this is. Glad he cleared that up for me.

 

[Spotter22]

Not sure but the rain on the radar doesnt seem to be hitting the ground. We shall see

Fun is supposed to be tonights drinking word.

Matty D is also hanging on pretty well. Didn't look fast in his heat at all.
And I agree with Mikey, this is fun.
