Truck RACE thread --- Mid Ohio

[TexasRaceLady]

Have to get my lunch, then settle in for a race.

 

[Blaze]

This is a mess

 

[donthaveanickname]

Got some great memories of racing in the rain at Mid-Ohio. The 2016 Xfinity race was awesome.

 

[Blaze]

Nah. This needs to be put under yellow and let it dry a bit more

Not at all. Drivers gotta get a feeling for where the limit is.

 

[StandOnIt]

Zane Smith started last 36th, P14 now

I disagree. They can’t even really race right now with the track as wet as it is. I rather see a race over them all going off track. It’s ridiculous

They had way more rain in that 2016 clip they just showed. I love racing in these conditions, it's where the driver can truly make even more of a difference than in the dry.
Heck, Alon Day was leading the 2016 race in a ****** Carl Long car.

I still rather have waited. I mean they can’t even go full throttle.. like it wouldn’t hurt to wait a few minutes longer. People was spinning out before they even went green…

 

[Charlie Spencer]

My DVR is about ten minutes behind. I'll get caught up at a yellow. I'm astonished no one is stuck yet. Hopefully that's the worst thing that happens to Deegan today.

That's not too unusual. They were barely half-throttle 20 laps into a run at Wilkesboro

Should be able to catch up in about a minute

 

[FLRacingFan]

It’s dried up a lot, no spray anymore.

 

[StandOnIt]

Marco making friends

 

[Blaze]

Damn man made it out lmao

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I'll get caught up at a yellow.

Thanks, Tanner.

Could see them going to slicks in the second stage break. The first one in 8 laps is probably to early.
Are they allowed to changed tires under green at all?

 

[aunty dive]

Please pit the 35 for dry tires now.

 

[Blaze]

That looked weird

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hocevar clears himself.

 

[StandOnIt]

I don't think that was a spotter problem for Hocevar. It looked more like his brake locked up on the left front

 

[Charlie Spencer]

My mother likes to watch football games when it's snowy and the players slip and slide.

She'd love this race.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Only if they have a tire problem.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Completely reverse of normal racing lines. Exit a turn on the outside line, cross over, enter the next as high as possible.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

They just gonna ride around under caution all race?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I've always thought if the yellow is out when pit road closes two laps before the end of the stage, call it a stage and pit 'em. That also eliminates the insanity of a single green lap at the end of the stage.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

This series needs to be put out of its misery.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

There have been plenty of times and tracks when people here have said this series produced the best racing of the weekend.

Feel free to change the channel.

 

[StandOnIt]

Damn, 6 rounds on the 98

Not anymore. Sadly.

It was great years ago.

Some opinions mean little...very little.

Was hands down my favorite series back in the day, like 2003 to 2007 let's say. Once the 2010s hit, it started losing those veterans that made it so good but it was still tolerable. Now for the past six years or so it's just been the new K&N amateur hour and I honestly wonder if they should just can the series or merge it with ARCA.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Not anymore. Sadly.

Back when it had veterans and promising drivers. Today it’s the playground of pay drivers, spoiled rich kids, and Hailie Deegan.

Craftsman is on a flyer

Agreed. For years these raced incredibly at MIS. Problem is it’s too wild anymore with wrecks and crap.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Crafton’s tires are gonna melt, right? Looks awfully dry out there now and the sun continues to come out.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I would have no objections to merging with ARCA, even though it's been a couple of years since I've seen an ARCA race. I gave up on them.

Hailie Deegan is a spoiled rich pay driver. Didn’t have to call her out like that

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Majeski sticking his nose in where it had no bidness.

 

[aunty dive]

Crafton’s team made the right move at the right time … then put the wrong tires on.
