My favorite is when someone tells a hilariously off color joke before the end of commercial and the pbp guy has to bring them back from break without giggling.

During the 2002 Coke 600, I was surprised to hear Allen Bestwick, Benny Parsons, Wally Dallenbach, and Bill Weber at a FOX race. They and their producer were doing a rehearsal broadcast for the NBC half of the season- Weber did all the "pit reports". They stayed about a hundred laps, at which point they decided they were done.

The most interesting part was when they would lose their momentum because FOX would pop a graphic they weren't expecting since they were using the FOX video feed (BP talked about how much he liked their graphics).

The posts I quoted below also remind me that we're approaching the offseason, which means Winter Heat if anybody wants to do it again because I'm game. If I had more time (stupid job :argh:), I'd try to organize some sort of weekly playlist, so there's an idea if somebody wants to do it.

i think i might do a somewhat more serious career with yellow flags turned on, but also with ai wrecks and mistakes all the way up. and y'know, still loving with the ai, cause why wouldn't ya. i'll also prolly do all the lightning challenges and maybe a single season in season mode using all the fantasy tracks for laughs. i also wanna try and stick to an actual schedule rather than just streaming whenever. it'll be kinda tough though since i'm back in college and also on the rowing team and have to leave some weekends for regattas.

I started a playthrough of 2005 just before I got stuck in Hurricane Irma and man, is it a fun game if you take it all with a grain of salt.

I especially love the lower series (such as stealing a mod win at Richmond because the AI stacked up in 4 coming to the white and I passed eight cars) but the last time I played, I had just been offered a Busch ride.

From like 2005-2008, races started running later in the afternoon. They actually rolled it back to a 1/3:30/7:30 Eastern start time system (except the 600) which made so much sense they changed it to ^that^ bullshit.

Dale Jr went on a rant about this on his podcast in like July and he thinks, like many things in NASCAR today, that it's stupid. He also mentioned it's cyclical and that, in a few years, we'll probably get Your Regularly Scheduled Adrenaline Rush back.

e- The Vegas Chase race is a day race. It's gonna be like 105 degrees. :psyboom: :wtc:

I sometimes wonder if NASCAR is deliberately tanking this poo poo like the owner in Major League.

e2- The Charlotte roval may have just been Goodyear'd:

quote:

“There is some conversation about changing the infield section a little bit, maybe eliminating the last little loop,” said Greg Stucker, director of racing for Goodyear. “I don’t know how much traction it’s going to get.

“I know that was some of the input from our test and it came up in a call with NASCAR. It’s being investigated.”
