2015 Misc Racing Thread

We already have NASCAR and F1, so this is for all other racing. Incycar, WEC, WRC, Sprint, hell, even if it's Spec Miata. If it has four tires and goes on dirt/asphalt/concrete, post it here. For instance, here is what I watched this weekend! The Modifieds looked like they were tack welded by high schoolers and the Sprints were insane. My kids loved every second of it. Cheap beer and teeth optional. So much fun.

 

Who's the monster in red down left?

 

My friend, that was just a TASTE of what I was exposed to this weekend. I've lived in Texas my whole life and even I was impressed (terrified?) at the display of wildlife.

Interestingly, the Sprint cup drivers that we all talked to out in the paddock behind the bowl were from EVERYWHERE. I spend a while talking to some kid who drives his parents combine in the offseason in Tennessee, 22yrs old or something. Most polite and well spoken kid I think I have ever talked to.

I hope Nico comes back for Le Mans, maybe even full time if he still gets passed up for a higher seat in F1.
Nice to see Ronald Miller with a podium finish.

 

Ha. My wife still calls him McDreamy.

Nice, I hope Nelson Piquet Jr wins that series. He's also doing pretty well in rallycross

 

I want to go see a rally cross event. Those look really cool.

 

Looks real exciting too, most cross the finish looking like the Lucas Oil Trucks all beat up with body panels missing.

NOLA future in jeopardy as Andretti sues race track

I always hate to see tracks fall off a schedule, but this race was a complete clusterf*ck. I doubt the drivers would be sad to see it go...

 

Lot easier for cars like this now that it's paved the whole way up.

That's an awesome video. Also, Formula E looks incredibly dangerous on garage exit, but that might just be the track that they are at.
