Peanut President posted:Bull Run is a great big road course, The Pits used to organize (iirc) an endurance race there every year that included driver swaps and special skins to make the cars look like touring cars. Yep, they called it the Bathurst 1000. That giant goddamned 60 degree banked hairpin saved was awesome. Charge right at the fucker at near full speed, it'll save you.

Yes, I'm very sure NASCAR will take a date from itself if this continues

Wiltsghost posted:Crashes that go up into the catch fence are so scary looking. I can't even imagine seeing that close up in the stands. I got real squirrelly about going to races after that Indycar wheel went in the stands at Charlotte and killed 3 people. (Which was a year after it happened at Michigan and killed 3.) I talked to an old guy at Dega in 99 who said he had been right there at the stretch of stands that Bobby Allison went airborne at. Said all he could see in time was Bobby Allison's muffler system coming at him at 200mph and the car just deflecting off.

Apraxin posted:Yeah, once in a while you get some poor track marshall getting confronted out of the blue with a nightmare they absolutely didn’t sign up for (imagine being first on the scene to the aftermath of the Pryce/Van Vuuren collision, Jesus Christ). Technically Van Vuuren was first to the scene

sportsgenius86 posted:Dale Jr is getting a show on NBC’s upcoming streaming service, Peacock, called Lost Speedways, where they go find old race tracks around the country and tell their stories. Augusta's will be pretty good. It's now a public park; a few turns can still be found in the wooded areas, and the pit road wall still exists behind the library.

Spaced God posted:The most southern alabama thing I could think of is someone saying "hey can you tie a knot for this pull rope real quick" and the person just instantly, instinctively tying a perfect noose from muscle memory the second a rope is put in their hands Talladega is NOT southern Alabama. Perversely, Alabama gets worse the further north you get.

iwentdoodie posted:No lie this is exactly what iRacing is like in these things at this track, too. I thought it was just idiots online, but nope. Wayyyy back in the 1st (and only) NASCAR supported online series, the NROS (using NASCAR Racing 2), I qualified for their championship series ( I think it was top 300 or 500 in the rankings, can't remember). One of the races was Pocono, and using my vaunted "I'm staying away from every one of you crazy motherfuckers" strategy I finished like 3rd.

Airport operations aren't affected by the track. If you mean can you just drive onto it and race......kinda? They might get mad at you about it tho

brendog posted:Hi all i've lurked around here long enough to get around to asking a (off-topic) question- does it bother anyone else that Jeff Gordon is in the booth for fox, conflict-of-interest wise? from the broadcasts i've seen he has been evenhanded but, like, how does one both partially own a team and be a main commentator at the same time? i like Jeff but just askin' NASCAR and NBC were forced to confront this about twenty years ago; when ESPN decided it didn't want the NASCAR license anymore we got away from professional broadcast teams and went to more or less who's available from the Who's Who. NASCAR, Fox, and NBC all shrugged and said "looks fine to me" and we've all just accepted the blatant homerism as the cost of doing business. As mentioned above, blatant cheater (and, if oldtime NASCAR poster leica is to be believed, absolute shitheart) Mikey Waltrip was basically allowed to lie, cheer, and plug his way through broadcasts with no repercussions. He wasn't even the most egregious; Rusty Wallace used to do Busch/Nextel broadcasts and several times a year you could hilariously see them hem and haw and not mention his son Stephen boneheadedly wrecking himself or others. With DW, it was basically presented to us as a feature, not a bug. The end of the Daytona 500 in 2001 (you know, the Dale Takes A Right Turn race) was literally DW pulling for his brother. Contrast this with Ned Jarrett, the consummate professional and Southern gentleman, who remained almost entirely professional calling many of his son Dale's victories, only breaking up that I remember after he won the first time at Daytona. (After.)
