hot tip: the shortened versions of sears point and watkins glen that nascar use are in fact the better versions of each

in fact iirc the dogleg at watkins glen was added years after the track was built, with the current nascar version being the original version of the track excepting the bus stop

This is the original layout. When The Glen was rebuilt in 1971, they tore out everything from Turns 5 through 7, and added The Boot.

I'm watching NASCAR: The Decades and need to make two observations:
-Rutledge Wood is actually kind of entertaining in this.
-What the gently caress is Ric Flair doing on this show?

He's the Nature Boy he can do whatever he wants.

Some maniac in discord wanted to see what 2017 would've looked like with 1972's terrible point system:

< 1 mile 0.25
1 mile 0.50
1.3 miles 0.70
1.5 miles 0.75
2 miles 1.00
2.5 miles 1.25

And me being a worthless dork with nothing better to do on a monday night/tuesday morning, I did it. I thought I'd post it here in the slim chance anyone outside of discord would care about this:

McDowell 6727.50
Blaney 6719.70

Logano 6619.45
Allmendinger 6595.00
Bayne 6594.95

To be fair to Senor France the tracks are locked in until 2020, and they haven't talked about dropping any or making any new space.

i have not watched a nascar race since 2013 but might tune in to the glen this weekend, and holy moly looking at the drivers in the series i feel so fuckin lost. i can't recall a 5 year period where this many drivers i knew all left.

also i will certainly watch the charlotte roval race because that poo poo is gonna be a fantastically awful mess.

It's fine there's only 37 entries so there can't be that many to learn.

Part of his logic is you could be filling short tracks during the week which can hold 20-30,000. It's not a bad idea from the limited sample size we have already (lookin' at you, Eldora), except for the fact that the last time I went to Eldora (2017, I missed this year), people started streaming out at the end of the second segment.

Keselowski is a fuckin idiot, no surprise. Teams are going under left and right and his proposal is to make teams spend twice as much money a season.

problem with NHRA is Pro Stock is a lot like nascar, used to be real-ish cars now completely fake. If you wanna watch fiberglass frames on a roll cage you can just watch F/C which are a) cooler and b) faster.
