Holy smokes. That sounds awesome.

yea that sounds pretty great. i'm already considering going even though it would take a day just to get there

Now that is a race weekend worth traveling to go to, with 2 of the best asphalt series in North America.

12/10

Well... It's going to depend on what weekend they have that but a 250 lap modified race certainly gets me interested.

Phoenix to be renamed IMS speedway for couple of years

Robert Yates has passed away.

today was terrible

Robert Yates' passing is like a punch to the gut for me. Davey Allison is my all-time favorite driver and because of that I was a fan of Robert Yates Racing until the very end. He was a mechanical genius who made the engines that were the envy of the garage area.

So NASCAR revealed the 2018 rules package with nothing changed in the aero department

smart

Meanwhile in Charlotte, a whoops happened.

That's going to be fun to explain to insurance.

I'm guessing the multi-million dollar race team responsible for the race car pulling out into traffic will foot the bill.

That section from turn 6 to 9 looks very tight. Also I don't think they needed to have two chicanes. I can see why they've got the turn 1 one (for safety reasons, there isn't much space between turns 1 and 9) but the back straight one makes no sense to me. Either way it will be interesting, at least as a novelty for the first year it runs.

The chicane on the frontstretch will make it so they are in the gas at the start/finish line. I think without it theyd be on the brakes when crossing the line for T1

Ah yes, good point Chris. Can't have them crossing the s/f while braking.

Not in qualifying or the last lap, no...

It's so they can safely run rains.
