Excellent news for the staff and partners of ISC's law firm. I'd imagine several people are already counting out their Christmas bonuses in July.

I mean, if the "Let's just skip the amicable negotiations and go straight to war" approach isn't the most France thing ever, I don't know what is, but Holy God.

I'm hoping this RTA starts bringing in sponsors that are competitors to the official *insert thing here* of NASCAR and challenging NASCAR on that. FuzzySkinner posted:https://twitter.com/DaleJr/status/489221026450927617/photo/1 I've noticed he is like me in watching old races but it's the 80s he mainly watches. I'm more of a 90s guy but makes sense for him to watch poo poo that was his childhood as does mine. Well we do share the same birthdate so maybe how the stars and poo poo line up on October 10th could be something. BMB5150 fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Jul 16, 2014 |

There's a NASCAR souvenir store right by the DIS with piles of old races on VHS. Here's Pockrass' story where I got the bit about the ISC/RTA squabble: http://t.co/fkpByDUFQP

I'm curious to see how the paved short tracks would do in a post-NASCAR world. They've put all of their eggs in NASCAR's basket to help sell their product, and I don't think the braintrust is there to put things right on their own.

Yeah........no. Most of the short tracks seem to rise/fall with NASCAR, whether it be adapting NASCAR procedures, Weekly series sanctioning, talking about NASCAR races while there, etc. poo poo, find me someone, anyone that runs a 3 or 43 car in latemodels, thundercars, anything, that doesnt have the Earnhardt or Petty scheme to it. It seems like short-track pavement fans are NASCAR fans and tie their short-track identity to that, while dirt fans couldn't give two shits and have their own, insulated culture. Oh, and an obligatory gently caress USAC. Are they still running their CoT in Silver Crown?

Boomer The Cannon posted:Yeah........no. The local track near me dropped their NASCAR association years ago because they weren't getting anything out of it supposedly. They've been fine from what I can tell. The big boy modified series doesn't go there anymore since they aren't NASCAR sanctioned but there are plenty of others touring series that roll through.

Nascar weekly sanctioning as-is works for lazy promoters.

For reference this is what the rumblings were like the last time an "RTA" like organization almosthappened:quote:Now, in the mid '90s, there was undercurrent talk in the NASCAR garages that a CART-like organization of powerful team owners might arise, to take advantage of an upheaval in track ownership and demand higher purses. http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/columns/story?id=5195237 FuzzySkinner fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Jul 16, 2014 |

The only thing that surprises me about this RTA thing heating up is that it didn't happen sooner. If Big Bill France were in charge, it would've been squashed before we ever heard about it.

You also wouldn't be seeing a lot of the tracks go under in the way we've seen them go under. Bill France Jr. told Brian something to the effect of "We've won. Don't do anything to damage what we have" apparently before he passed away. Welp.

Honestly I hope this works for them because if there's anything Hendrick/Ganassi/Penske/Roush need it's more money. I always root for the little guy.

General admission, just do the gen lot across the street but be prepared to wait an hour+ to get out, get there at least 2 hours early, if not before. Next time I go, i'm just gonna plan to camp overnight, I didn't get back home until 3 AM and had to get up to work at 6.  Bring chairs, etc. They do run a couple of events like the Eldora Late models prior to / in between the truck heats. My friend and I got there a little late because I was coming from Indy, him from Cincy, so we had to sit right down at the fence in turn 4. There's not really a bad seat in the place though:

Thanks, dev. I figured you were the one to ask. The angle in your pics reminds me a lot of the one I had at IRP the one time I went there. Is it worth going, or something that's better experienced on TV given the traffic and gently caress-all remoteness of the track?

If you've never gone to a dirt race like this before, do everything devmd said but also be drat sure to bring some sunglasses/goggles if ya got em, and a bandana for the dust. When I was there for the 410s and midgets place got very, very badly dusty and the smart folks brought those items. I liken it to being in the middle of the noisiest sandstorm on earth

ARCA has the best schedule in stock car racing IMO.
