You got to hang with Burton? Cool poo poo man. Did you tell him to retire?

RCR is definitely the most little kid friendly of the teams from what I've heard. It started back in the days of Earnhardt, and was a pretty good kept secret due to the reputation the black #3 had. Childress is a big softie, though.

Say what you will about NASCAR, but the organization, teams and drivers are probably the most charitable group going in motorsports when put into context of what the teams spend a year.

I can't stand the sport itself but I still go every year. Watching the race with pit passes is un-loving-real and something everyone should do once and the infield parties are insanely fun.

Yep, loving nice guy. Just straight-up nice. He started talking to us like we were long-time friends. [/quote]

Childress himself surprised us as we went into the hauler. Just going along, and bam... there's Richard Childress. Shook our hands, welcomed us, etc. Again, just a quality group. It was for my son's tenth birthday and they made it spectacular. The only pic I got of Childress below (with bonus of Burton getting a Father's Day call from his kids), I was too surprised to ask for photos with him. :(

Absolute truth here. RCR opened up their entire organization for us to see. Garage, pits, pit stands, their golf cart, victory circle, the track itself (my boy wrote his name on the checkers of the start/finish line), it was fantastic.

Actually, iI don't even think it's the full body. The doors were still from a hilux.

Meanwhile it's pretty drat dry here so if you keep them indoors... rust isn't too bad?

Watching tech inspection and someone had side sills just slightly too low. This guy was there with tin snips taking 1/8" off the bottom to get into compliance (you can see one of the pieces he just cut off to his left). What a terrible job to have.

Keys, seat position, the poo poo you leave in your car, tires, marks/scratches, etc... on top of where you loving left your car.

Good!

On awesome stuff, one of the things I learned this weekend is that there are very few NASCAR cars that are painted anymore. Most of them are wraps, which are much quicker and easier to apply.

One of the few painted cars this weekend was Jeff Gordon's car... here's a pic, before it got destroyed a few laps in. It's a shame, the painted cars are much prettier up close.

Charge cooling isn't really critical on supercharged engines. Most of the heat in turbo cars comes from the blazing hot exhaust turbine. Considering they're sucking cold air before it's compressed, they're probably fine as long as they're not running insane amounts of boost.
