Doug Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The pic with the stroller is Kyle Larson walking the track. The pic with the wired junction board is Nascar wiring up the timing loops and the Xfinity hauler waiting to come in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Here's the official checked flag for the race. Some of the drivers give them away to a kid which is cool. Others keep them to auction them off for charity. Others keep them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Steve753 Posted June 30, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 30, 2023 Was just watching racehub. First time I've seen the course. It's a figure 8 with no crossing in the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Keep an eye on corner 12. Its a blind corner to get into the pits. Also each team has 3 spotters but they can't see the complete track 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted July 1, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 1, 2023 Meh, same problem as with Indy cars. The idea of racing on streets is cool but its too tight for any real racing. Only thing they did right was not stopping at the end of a stage. I like that. No more fuel or or tire strategies based on preplanned cautions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not any better here. They're now evacuating some of the crowd by the fontain. We also have a new bosses boss that's here today and tomorrow and he has a large opinion of himself and how he's going to change things now that he's in charge........ Been going this for 16 years and really have fun with the guys and my current boss. Don't need the Hitler movement. One rule now as we can't watch the TV when the race is being running.

Many on his crew would quite but he's was really a suck ass to the big boss and got a promotion last month. We had a energetic conversation earlier today when I asked him to get additional decals. I was told he doesn't report to me. It went further down hill from there. Edited July 1, 2023 by Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
