  1. Another good one last night.  Two teammates going at it for the win.   Another home run for Nascar and the people of the USA.  Something great to watch on TV to change things up from the disaster going on here.  Live sports helps and Nascar is leading the way

  2. That was so awesome.  lots of interesting things going on in that race.  I did not think Clyde had it in him to sail it in there on the last for for a checkers or wreckers.  It did not work out, but that is the heart of a champion.  He will win a championship some day, probably sooner than later.   I like how the line changes from top to bottom back to the top etc.  Nascar hit a home run with that race

  3. They raced at Charlotte 2 times in a ROW.   Nascar lead the way for live sporting events to be held.  Even though there are no fans, they are showing the world it can be done with much success, even without fans.   Fans will complain regardless.  I could care less if they race 7 days in a ROW at one track, we are blessed to be able to watch live events again.   God bless NASCAR.    It has just been amazing to see these guys go out there are put on a show without a lap of practice.  It shows that they are real pros

  4. It was good to see Clyde put it on the GOAT for the $100,000 bounty.  Thanks to Marcus Lemonis and Mr Harvick for putting up $50,000 each.  The had to turn away 7 trucks with empty stands.   WOW, NASCAR IS BACK, Even without fans.   WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  5. Nascar under the lights was awesome.  Mr Busch was trying to throw a block on Harvick and smashed Clyde instead.   He is probably lucky there were no fans there.  Clyde was going to win that race.    No today, xfinity races at 11.  Going to get a pizza and a six pack delivered to watch that one too

  6. That guy kept it going with the improvements.    But, I can see things have not changed in 30 years.  Everything was too expensive and the tracks had favorites.   Same thing today.   In reality, the guys with the best work ethic find a way to get the equipment they need to win, regardless of cost.  The others complain that it is too expensive.  They are really just too lazy.  

  7. ROMCO Super Late Model Racing was the peak of short track racing in Texas.    Unfortunately, the timing was not right for them to incorporate the crate engines into the series to hold down costs.   I am guessing that is what Mr. Mullins was referring to when he wished he could have done more to hold the costs down.    The people who had just spent the $40,000 on engines opposed as well as people who just hated crates.   Both had valid points, but as a little water has gone under the bridge, the crates are the best thing to happen to short track racing.   Basically, a pro late runs a $10,000 crate that can go all year and the Super Lates run a $20,000 crate that can go all year.    Not a whole lot of performance difference on the track between the two and 99% of the fans cannot tell the difference.   He had a good run and I hope someone Votes Robert Mullins into the Texas Short Track Hall of Fame.  If there is not one, maybe that would be a good guy to start one with

    a coworker of mine has been home isolated due to it.

    Half of the people I know are home isolated due to it.  Thank god none of them have been confirmed with it.  Self quarantined for one reason or another.

  9. I understand, but this micro chip system collects data from every car on the track and uses an algorithm system to control the shocks so you will have the most efficient lap times of all.  In other words, it takes the good and bad from each car and controls your front end to be the most efficient on the track. 

  10. No Worries here, I am working on those pull down shocks to where they are non detectable.   I am putting micro chips inside of the valving on the shocks so if they pull them apart, they can tell.   The shocks can be made to pull down together or independently.    The crew chiefs will now have another tool in the chest to cheat em to the front

    NASCAR has several options about honoring / refunding / pre-sold tickets. I imagine NASCAR will chose the option which leaves the most money in their coffers when the dust settles on this coronavirus stuff.  Which is what most businesses would do and makes the most sense to shareholders. 

     

    The option would be issue full refunds and go out of business.   We all know when we buy tickets that there are no refunds. 

  12. With the Coronavirus deal, there are lots of events being cancelled and sporting events being played without fans.  A couple of guys on here may get their wish if Nascar has to race without fans.   It goes to show you that things can still be economically viable without fans. The track purses are up across the board due to Television Revenue.  Now I heard the rest of the Houston Rodeo was cancelled.  That one is going to hurt

  13. Nascar got it right on this short track package at Phoenix.  They wanted to do this last year, but push back from the Race Track Alliance (Rob Kauffman) didnt allow it.   Those restarts were worth the price of admission themselves.   6 Wide man, how awesome is that.
