another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Racing season is about to end, which means it's time to groan with sadness/apathy that there won't be any professional cars going fast around closed courses until the end of January. Many racing goons will probably go through withdrawls because WE HAVE NEEDS TOO, DAMNIT.

Fortunately, thanks to the magic of the internet and YouTube and ingenuity of racin' goons, we found a way last season to kill time to handle the doldrums of winter. So, here for a second season, it's what we'd unofficially called SASCAR Winter Heat.

What is this?
We set up a Synchtube channel last year and streamed a variety of racing-related videos. The options seemed endless, with ideas coming in from left and right. The more random, the better. If you're new to what we're doing, think SPEED Channel, but with more "racing" and less "HAHD PAHTS SAUTH BRANX" and Xzibit saying "YO DAWG, I HEARD YOU LIKE ________...".

Why do you call it Winter Heat? That sounds like porn.
The name's shamelessly borrowed from ESPN back in the days where they actually liked racing and went out of their way to find racing to show in the winter. I'm just paying homage to our overlords at The Worldwide Leader.

What do you watch?
-Old NASCAR, including the hilarity that was Goody's Dash :getin:
-Old CART/IRL
-IROC
-ARCA
-GATR (the racing series that raced :patriot: semi cabs :patriot:)
-Sports car racing
-World of Outlaws/USAC
-Racing-related documentary/human interest shows, like Thrills and Spills (We had a NASCAR Drivers 360 night last year. Never did get to Jeremy Mayfield's Homemade Airboat, which may be a case study into why he's not in NASCAR anymore.)
-Obscure regional racing series on short tracks, be they paved or of the dirt variety.
-Demolition derbies
-Your local Friday/Saturday night show
-Racing movies (found on YouTube). We still need to watch Six Pack.

...basically anything that is entertaining, retro, and/or is better than the racing we see today. I'm thinking we need to add in Robby Gordon's stadium truck series this year, which is fun but nobody ever remembers is on.

How does it work?
BMB5150 had a set time and night for NASCAR Drivers 360 last year. FuzzySkinner had suggested theme nights. Or, if you're bored and want to kill some time, post in here with an idea and people might show up.

I'd need help figuring out which video sharing sites are the best, since I guess Synchtube is gone, but I'd definitely be down for this & we'd gotten some interest in the NASCAR thread and #nascar.

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.


Cytube is likely our best bet for what to use. It also seems a lot more stable then Synctube was for what it's worth.

Anybody want to do British Touring Cars? They've been a staple of my winters, but with no more SPEED, I'll have to go to YouTube. It's a pretty fun (and sometimes hilarious) series.

Viking should host a USAC pre-1982 tribute night. There are some Silver Crown races up on youtube that feature guys like Unser, etc.

also, does anyone want to do "Dario Franchitti-Tribute to a champion". I kind of want to host a night to honor him, and feature the '98 Road America race, '07 and 12 500's.

So we're all like "we should do this, we should do that" but very little doing! So this weekend I'm gonna spend some time and find some good poo poo, and next Weds. at around 7pm EST I'll light it off. The theme is going to be "The Days of Big Horsepower".

Figure some 80's turbo F1 if possible, Can-Am, maybe pre-88 NASCAR at a superspeedway, stuff like that. 1,000hp+ cars going 200mph+

So mark your calenders!

I figured everyone was waiting until Homestead was over until we actually did something.

That idea sounds pretty awesome though, I think there's a few 80s f1 races on youtube if you look.
