Ungratek posted:NBC cameras are so much better than Fox I'd say part of it is the camera's can't be on top anymore due to construction so lot more closer to the cars and vary up what you can see what's on the front stretch. I do like the backstretch on the catch fencing one. They need to do a stationary one on like the turns and have them zip by. NBC had one at Talladega and it owned.

gently caress it lets get a dart board and change the numbers and add rules to it. Indy if they can keep close enough in the turns for the draft to work it could work like the 500. Michigan... Hmmm maybe but again need to be close to use sling shots. Honestly just loving do it and let's see what happens, this year's package is poo poo so why not heave poo poo.

A little racier and would think beginning of the race wouldn't tell that much since everyone is still trying to come to terms to this package. End of the race should tell more but it does seem like they can be closer, be more competitive and make passes and make pit strategy be key more so then stay out and hope 10 others do and you win the race.

I think it's good to see the dominant car tear up through the field as he should and Kes is doing that. Before this you go back in the pack it's a real chore even for the best car.

Kind of missed the pretty awesome battle at 20 to go and cars actually passing and racing then got spread out when you watched. Need to work on that but honestly 100x better than the poo poo we've seen this year.

bigbillystyle posted:The amount of cautions was a bit ridiculous. Some were legit, some were for "debris". The worst was the caution at lap 19. That should have been the competition caution. Instead they pushed the competition caution to lap 30. They restarted at lap like 24 I think? Whenever it was it was less than 10 laps of green flag racing before the competition caution. That was a loving stupid idea. The problem is this package will only be used at Richmond and Darlington unless the drivers yell loud enough I suppose. A different much much more draggy package will be used at Michigan and Indy. But the package we've had this year will be raced in the rest of the races.

bigbillystyle posted:Shows how much I actually listen to the commentary. For some reason I thought this was going to be the package going forward, guess I have to listen a little more closely. Maybe next year they'll go to this package. I think it'll be interesting the 4 races with the 2 new packages and see how they run. high drag with that wicker could cause less air on the spoiler which would in a way lose downforce for leading cars equalizing everyone but it's tough to say. Darlington will have everyone slamming into the wall if they don't get a softer tire developed though which would be funny.

VikingSkull posted:Solution: Make Cup cars based on current GT cars. Mustang, Camaro and Challenger based. Tell Toyota they can use a Camry with the current NASCAR spec V8, but in 5 years time must have a new GT class RWD V8 car or they can pound sand. 358c.i. limit, OHV 2 valve per cylinder engines. Chevy, Ford and Dodge have 5 years to develop new GT cars if they think they can make a better platform. You get new stuff relevant from the companies, you drop speeds by about 20mph and you make tires that wear out. Bam, NASCAR is good again I'm down with this. Toyota could always go to Lexus and develop a successor to the LFA with those specs. Change the V10 to a V8 and little more styling cues to the big 3s pony cars.

bigbillystyle posted:Hopefully he can keep this momentum up for the rest of the season. He kind of has to if he wants to win it all. It'd be funny having a champion who basically ran a half season. I'd say this package could work at a multigroove track where you can draft well and then use different lines to get around and not one single line. Indy should've used no spacer (spacer should never be there) and lower downforce. Be closer to each other and work on each other moreover then try slingshots. This could possibly work at Michigan but I'd say put on the lower downforce and call it good.

Genocide Tendency posted:If someone can rattle off 4 wins in 9 races after breaking his leg, I can't bitch about him being title eligible. Yeah I have no problem him getting into the chase with the tear he's gone on. If the chase is about winning and keeping him out would be dumb. He still needs to get to the top 30 but it seems like a forgone conclusion he will get in the top 30 next week. The question is can he keep the momentum through the chase. Just ask Jeff Gordon for tearing through the first 26 or so races and coast in the last 10.

I say it's Jimmie Johnson in 07 when he won 4 straight, but people on Facebook are torn between either Petty's 10 straight (13 straight in one dudes head) or Pearson when he won 4 of 5 5 separate times in '73, which is odd since he only ran 18 races in 73 Yeah I saw that too. Then again it was NASCAR pre 72 so I don't know if they're doing that. In that span Gordon did it and hell I think NBC even showed guys doing that.

Blame 3M. They're dumb for not jumping on board with something. gently caress they probably something that'll go good in blue for the Bill Davis car in 91, 92 car could work, flames would be a little different for 3M but they could've done it. Also is this the first time Ned and Ken were in a booth together since 97 if no the 500?
