Human Grand Prix posted:I don't usually follow NASCAR but why were heats not considered? Or just red flags between stages? The xfinity series tried heats a few times last year and they all were boring cause no one wants to ruin their race car by gaining a few positions for the main race.

Stages are fine. I still don't understand the Overtime Line, though. We had one of those before- it was the start/finish line at the white flag on a GWC.dentist toy box posted:The xfinity series tried heats a few times last year and they all were boring cause no one wants to ruin their race car by gaining a few positions for the main race. They were also pointless because cars who failed to qualify were determined before the Heats. Backmarkers would start and park the heats because they knew they were in.

So, in honor of going full NASCAR, here's what I'd do with stages. 1. The "Big Four" (Daytona 500, Spring 'Dega, Coke 600, and Fall Darlington) and road courses are all stageless. 2. Stage 1 and 2: each one quarter of the race distance. Stage 3 is the remaining half. 3. Caution flags between stages do not count towards race distance. Depending on track length, 5-10 laps of caution before the race resumes. 4. Stages 1 and 2 award points to the top 10 finishers in a 20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2 sequence. 5. Stage 3 is 40-39-...-5 (place 36 and lower all get 5 points to help smooth out people just sucking and someone having terrible luck and an engine blowing up in the first laps). (and now, to go full NASCAR) 6. Stage 2 is reverse finishing order from Stage 1. A mandatory pitstop after will allow the grid to be properly set. Stage 3 uses the Stage 2 finishing order proper. 7. All cars reset to the lead lap after each stage.

VikingSkull posted:adam petty was terrible Incorrect. I know the comparison is bad, but Adam was better than his Dad. I believe he would have won more than eight races in cup during his career. Hell, even Kyle said "Adam was always the son Dad wanted" when discussing their driving abilities.

You're going to have to buy a franchise which entitles you to benefits such as racecar vehicular homicide. You can let somebody borrow it, but only once.

Feels Villeneuve posted:He sucked Wrong. dentist toy box posted:There's never been a Petty that wasn't a fraud. You're also wrong. How was Lee Petty a fraud? The greatest drivers back in the day - Pearson, Yarborough, Allison, Waltrip, etc. - all said Richard Petty was the best they raced against. And yes, Richard acknowledged he had the best equipment back then, but his talent is ubdenied. Adam was just starting out, but showed a lot of promise. Put him in a non-Petty funded car and he probably would have shined. You pinheads thinking he sucked or the family was a fraud just shows ignorance. Ahhh, what the gently caress do I know.

I've said this before but I'll take Team 3-time Champion (Cale, DW, Smoke) over Team 7-Time Champion (Richard, Dale, Jimmie) any day/.

Jimmie is a hell of a wheelman but just being a wheelman doesn't win 7 championships so I'm going to go with no.

I've always said that if Kyle gets over 200 across the 3 series it's a more impressive feat than Richard's 200 in Cup, simply because of the fact that the fields are on average more competitive, Kyle has never won 100 mile races like Richard did, and all of Kyle's wins came at a time when the field was given ways to come back from being laps down. Imagine how many more races Kyle would have won without poo poo like the lucky dog and wave around.

An article about Indy came out and all the safety behind the scenes, so I was curious if NASCAR had a traveling safety team like Indy and NHRA do. The just formed one this year, for the Cup series only

VikingSkull posted:poo poo like the lucky dog I need to defend NASCAR a little bit on the lucky dog. I very clearly remember instances pre-dog when a caution would come out, the leaders would slow, and cars on the tail end of the lead lap would zoom by and unlap themselves. It didn't happen on every caution, but when it did happen more than one car got their lap back. All the lucky dog does is keep this idea of the leader offering laps back to the field as a courtesy, just standardizing it and making it safer. Even with the number and frequency of cautions nowadays, I don't think there's too terrible a difference of the total number of cars getting laps back after a caution between then and now. You can't really complain about two or three cautions in a row granting cars "free" laps back when those same cars would have probably all unlapped themselves at once at the first caution under the old system.

I've been watching old races and these loving tracks are covered in trash with no cautions. Why the gently caress are we stopping races for small paper bags or a glove or some poo poo today? I wouldn't be as unhappy about bullshit debris cautions if the series didn't have a stage system that achieves the same loving thing the pretend cautions did.

It didn't happen on every caution, but when it did happen more than one car got their lap back. I'm not saying it's a bad policy, just that it's a thing that helps make the racing more competitive today. While what you say is true, it didn't happen on every yellow because sometimes the nearest lapped car couldn't make it in time, sometimes the leaders didn't let up because they were racing for position, and believe it or not sometimes the leaders were like "gently caress that dude" and purposely put the irons to the lapped car.

Lucky Dog is one of the very few thing NASCAR has done that is fine. Fox making into some big heehaw is why it's dumb. "Oh boy my favorite driver Danica Patrick is the Aaron's Lucky Dog Aroooooo"
