When they keep doing shit like stages and multi green white checkered to bunch the field and bump drafting and blocking.
This shit happens.
They want the accidents weather they say no or not.
In other forms of racing if you touch someone else your are penalized.
I don’t watch NASCAR to much anymore.
When we race if we touch or get wheels off the track we are black flagged.

Start the race

Run the race

Stop the fake yellow flags to bunch the field

Stop the stages
You can award the points with the technology and not stop the race.

Get fuel mileage and tire management back into green flag racing.

Stop the bullshit $10,000 fine for a loose lug nut and similar crap.

NASCAR is a shell of its former glory.
I had a chance to go to two races the past 3 years.
I declined.

I do want to go to Eldora and watch the World Of Outlaw’s Sprint Car Championship.
That’s grass route racing. No bull, no politics..
But that’s 15 hours away

The cars are not real cars. They may have the roofline and part of the front bumper but that’s it.

When the Toyotas came to town for a tour the Dewalt Car was in my Shop.
The hood was padlocked because they didn’t want anyone to know they ran small block Chevy’s.

It’s all a sham..

 

Was just saying yesterday it used to be win on Sunday sell on Monday.
Totally different than how it used to be

 

Hard to sell what no one makes

 

I watch rally racin on YouTube or truck series anything else other than nascar

 

Eldora is worth the trip, they put on a wicked show. Took my dad one year for the 4 Crown Nationals, 2 days of sprintcars WoO the first night and USAC midgets, non wing sprintcars and silver crown, we got to see this young kid Kyle Larson tear it up

Good morning Rob..

 

You are 100% correct.let the field race on the super speedways work it out to groups of like speed cars..i think they do it to increse sales ,there are plenty of tracks to bump and run bunched up but not Daytona or Talledega

 

I don't watch it anymore. I was done 2 years ago. I'll stick to the local dirt track and watch them guys have at it. Way more fun.

I record some Icelandic hill climb series. That's pretty cool.

We get those.and another series of non-wings come through once or twice a year. Those guys make it look so easy. There's a few crashes at the beginning of main but only because it's 3/8 mile and so many qualifiers...mostly mid-pack and back. Once they get it lined out they just go.

 

You expect the “ big one “ in every race.
Destroying millions of dollars of cars.
Allow one car per race.
If you crash bad enough your out..

Then
Allow motor swaps without penalty.
Body repair etc to get the car back in.
Without the extra car it’s like $300,000 savings.
So allow then to work on their primary car again.
They have all the parts to build a car in the trailer anyway.

 

Morning Rob!

 

Morning all. Finding out firsthand moving over to the academic side of buildings has it's own set of struggles. I feel the more intelligent a person is deemed, the less common sense they process. Not all but some. Lord give me strength to make it three more years and eleven months.

 

I agree with you. Reap what you sow.

I still don’t get why NASCAR hasn’t embraced the tire technology to run races in the rain. WTF over? Formula 1 and even World Superbikes have rain tires. Bikes!!!

 

I know man I know. Then you have professors who think they don't need to submit a work order, just let a voicemail on your extension. Last guy in this position made the mistake of giving one department secretary his personal cell #. Next thing, everyone had it. Not me, sorry the State does not give me a stipend for my cell bill. If they start paying me, I will give # out.

 

Good Morning Folks

Did one hour of snow removal.
Now coffee.

 

morning all

 

... as Jerry Clower put it, "educated beyond their intelligence."

 

Awesome I am going to use this! Thanks Rob!

 

Morning all

Morning Rob.
