VikingSkull posted:see that grille opening? entrance of the ram air system Can it be a synchtube event? btw. I got to see Foyt's 60's/70's sprint cars take the track at IMS today. Including the one he almost won at Milwaukee in. That AND Foyt getting the Wood Bros. to loan the "21" car per request to put in the museum and run on track.

I've played that in Synchtube before but yeah we can watch it one day, it's a great race also notable as being the definitely the first live race ESPN ever covered, and IIRC it's the first live event of any kind they covered btw Syracuse used to hold Championship car events back in the day

I feel like a PSP WCW Nitro-style regular racing night could be a fun thing to do in Winter Heat. Pick an undercard, main event (maybe a good race from the track Cup/IndyCar's running that week?), and maybe something for afterward?

Mike Joy: "You know Stock car racing has always been a southern sport but here it is being dominated by a guy from New Jersey and a crew chief from Canada..." .... Mike. uh....That's not a "new" phenomenon. The short track scene in NY/NY/New England is insane. Literally every other NASCAR fan I've met online has been from those regions.

Fist win for the 3 since the 2000 fall Talladega race. Also. Dillon now has more wins in the 3 than his grandfather who originally got the number for the team.

Lmao one of the comments reminded me of what he said after 'dega "we're going to a real race track after this" (also got screwed by a first time winner there) Eagerly await Jeffrey Earnhardt winning the firecracker 400 passing him on the last lap. e-also reminds me of Sato yells after winning but in another manner.

Also... Two of the 3 races featured a cool finish where a fun driver beating a gigantic fuckstick. If Monaco wasn't a poo poo track with no room to pass (literally it's like 11 meters wide) maybe we could have.... No wait... it's F1.
