Please accept my apologies! no apologies needed. I'm just glad they got to run the race and it was as good as I thought it would be. hopefully next year they will run it at night to help to keep the moisture in the track to keep the dust down. it will also be really interesting next year with the next gen car.

RodneyRodriguez Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 My thought is keep this car as "the dirt car". Develop it and make it better. No need to waste the equipt since they have them Ain't no way that new car could do this lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Rodney I bet the new car will be more like a rally car on dirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24nomo Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Well, Nascar is officially in the Circus business now. That was a clown show without the elephants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I'm going to guess that you are not a fan of dirt track racing. That's ok because I saw a good race with them learning as they went. This will make it a better show when they do it again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24nomo Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) It was a gimmick that was a big dust bowl. This is just not what I like watching. I like the high speed tracks that when they wreck, there is lots of noise and metal crunching, with sparks Edited March 31, 2021 by 24nomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 That's because they ran it during the day. We will see what they do for next year when we return to Bristol on dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arob Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 When 24nomo said gimmick one popped in my head . Have a competition yellow with 15 laps to go at every race. That would make the race to the checkered exciting every race and give all the wrecking , noise , metal crunching and sparks anyone could handle. And you would never know who would survive , uh , win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyRodriguez Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Of all times was ready for the 11 to lay the bumper on the 22 but he didn't. Hell he had a built in excuse with the dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24nomo Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 some gimmicks are fun, like inverting the whole field in qualifying. Put the trash in front and the high dolla cars in the back and turn em loose. They did that at one race, i cant remember, but they had to take a break to get enough cars fixed to race. I think they ran another few races after numerous attempts to start. Now that was fun to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that was fun to watch i try not to look at a another teams car as trash ..sometimes that is all the team can afford and think about it with out what one would call trash you could have no class of cars over A short period of time .. .. i have had what would be considered trash when i started but i showed up and gave it my all .. THE GOOD THING WAS and is still around today is some driver or team does not want his car torn up by so called trash would help that driver or team out .. i was helped . and i helped many others along the way . todays trash might be your best competitor in a couple of years the family grows you know . MANY OF THOSE WRECKED CARS wasnt caused by trash cars .. BY DRIVERS WHO LOST TALENT AND PATIENTS ..i welcome all new comers ..because we all were there at one time ..

Yea, I didnt know what to call them, I guess i meant slow cars. But at the racetrack, when a racer has a slow car, he calls his car a sh__ box, junk or trash.

What's a NASCAR Cup car cost nowadays? Yeah, destroy them all and see how many keep coming back after burning that much cash, plus sponsors won't support them to the extent they do now if everything is trashed out, but hey maybe it'll work...

Just using racers lingo UNDERSTAND .. being part of racing in some form or another for a good 59 years or so .and hands on full time starting in 84 up till now i have been in all those worlds as a fan .as an owner as a builder .a driver and anything else to do with racing i suppose .. except owner and operator of a track . this is a fun sport but its hard work long long hours and very costly the pay sucks off season you spend umpteen amounts of time and money getting ready for the next season the cost gets higher and higher every year and tracks can not charge the gate the price we really need for a show for track and teams we get paid about the same as 20 years ago it isnt about the pay that wont cover the investment anyway .. during the season and in dirt racing a very short off season seeing cars torn up and poeple loving it just sort of puts a bad taste in my mouth .. . if you have never been part of a team been around a race car being built never go down in the pits where you can see what goes on . i will be the first to invite you to come out to a dirt race . LOOK FOR THE black number 7 factory stock stop by during or after the races or just go up to any team get to know them , racers are family and anyone n the stands is welcome .EVEN THE WRECK LOVERS .
