I'm disappointed in the opinions expressed by many on this board. It smells of hypocrisy. Seems to me that the majority of us agreed that pack racing had to go despite it's raw excitement. Now, after watching the race and reading through these comments, I generally find that the style of racing on o...
I'm going to assume some of the asinine comments in here are due to the very late ending of the race and the resulting sleep deprivation. I'm working on 2 hours of sleep myself so I feel the pain of fellow TBK members. My first thought upon seeing the wreck last night was very bad indeed because I t...
Indy, Pocono, Michigan, Fontana, Phoenix, Milwaukee, Iowa, Texas (I guess... Though I'd rather see CoTA and give Eddie Gossage two middle fingers.) If we throw out Texas, that's 7 ovals. Four, 500 mile races at the Super Speedways, two 300 mile races at the 1 mile tracks and one 250 lapper at the 7/...
More shot tracks would be good... As long as their on dirt.
Also, a dry slick track seems good for the trucks but I wonder how they'd be if they took the windshields out, put in the usual dirt track wire and put some bit in the track.
EDIT: And what the fuck? Didn't want a night race? Why? Scared no one will watch? Yeah, but a Saturday afternoon race in the middle of summer is a slam dunk for viewership right? Fucking idiots.
Other than Truex's win at Pocono every race has been won by a Penske, Hendricks, SHR and Gibbs entries . Real healthy sport. FUCK YOU NASCAR. That accounts for 13 cars and drivers. The idea that the underfunded/small teams are going to compete for wins each week is ludicrous in a sport where a budg...
There were a lot of NASCAR fans in the stands on Sunday that said they'd love to come back to an Indycar race. A lot of the people I talked to in the parking lot had not been to either of the first two Indycar races at Pocono. It's a shame the race was marred by this accident, but it was a very ente...
Has anyone thought of how many open wheel formula are out there worldwide? 20, 25, 30+ counting all the country and region specific ones? Are we going to update all of them or just focus on protecting the top tier pro's? Surtee's wasn't in an F1 car when the wheel hit him. If we're going to protect ...
No highlight vid, but Stewart Friessen (who's won everything he's touched this year) won the Mr. DirtTrack USA $17,500 to win Tuesday night at Lebanon Valley beating Brett "The Corporate Jet" Hearn when Hearn forgot to pay his fuel bill and ran dry with two to go. Hearn dominated the race ...
The fuck is that stupid thing? Here's a response to that same question from the iRacing forum: Open Shows are a one-a-year throwback to the infamous "wedge car" era of short track racing from the mid 1980s until the early '90s. Back then rules & regulations for Late Model bodywork mod...
Good lord stop. It's far more dangerous for these things to get airborne into the catch fence than it is for them to hit the SAFER barrier. Everyone bitched and whined about the DW12 when it was first introduced. It's drives terrible, it has no feel, it's slow, etc. The teams dialed that out and if ...
I have a somewhat offensive question. Let's say we set aside tradition and other historical considerations, and get to this race like another championship race. Is there anything special about the track that warrants so many testing sessions, and a rookie orientation session, and a convoluted quali...
