Xfinity RACE thread --- Chicago Street Course

[TexasRaceLady]

After watching both practices/q'ing, this could either be fun or disastrous. Or somewhere in between.

i give em 3 laps before the Macau style stack of cars.

 

[Tony_K]

Good comparison of tracks. LOL

The learning curve is gonna be steep today.

The learning curve is gonna be steep today.

With the course as flat as it is, they may not learn much.

Green light, lets go street course racing

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Green.

 

[Kiante]

Very clean so far.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Kaulig casualty. Must have fed the engine too many Chicago dogs.

 

[StandOnIt]

Gawd, Burton is unbearable

 

[JBone88]

Do these guys not realize we have eyes? Yes the 10 car blew an engine we can ****** see that.

@Spotter22 , any thoughts on spotting this layout?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Ten minute yellow and counting

Yeah, Multiple spotters and handoff areas. Its not ideal because you have to retrain your vocabulary, "overtaking" Inside and outside dont work everywhere so "looking" "driver" or "passenger". It all depends on what you come up with thats easy for your driver to understand. Good thing is clear is still clear.

Lots of oil

 

[West]

Little slow on the clean up

Luckily it doesnt eat up a ton of laps

 

[Mike Crayne]

Stands look well over half full. Glad to see that.

 

[Spotter22]

My god, I'm just starting to get the logistics that went in to preparing this course! Kudos to NASCAR! wow

 

[AdoubleU24]

Who has been the biggest mover so far?

 

[Spotter22]

Heck of a crowd

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Who has been the biggest mover so far?

Burton's tongue

 

[AdoubleU24]

That camera angle where there's just normal downtown stuff happening in the background is pretty cool lol

 

[AdoubleU24]

Driving for and driving like Jesse Iwuji

 

[Spotter22]

Communism strikes again! OK, well how about "Castro creates havoc"?

 

[West]

Indycar should explore this location ... BIG market exposure.

I expect a huge crowd tomorrow

 

[Spotter22]

oh geez

 

[West]

Wide Boulevard should make for good racing.

 

[Spotter22]

massive storm close

 

[Brentford]

massive storm close

Heavy rain indeed, but my radar hasn't showed any lightning strikes yet.

 

[West]

Are the wippers for show only, or will Nascar allow rain racing?

Rain tires are on site.

 

[Hotrod]

The camera tech that set up those camera
angles around the track gets a gold star!
Just awesome.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Okay, someone has to be first.

This is a snoozer.

 

[West]

Lightning, great. Sure a bunch of cars will go down in flames, but nobody said racing wasn't dangerous

 

[Spotter22]

Okay, someone has to be first.

This is a snoozer.

Too many kill zones. I expect havoc with 10-5 to go

I agree

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Honestly, I was hoping they'd make halfway and have the bottom drop out.

I feel they’ve really not been enough green flag racing to really judge it. But that’s just my opinion
