95 they were testing short tracks and road courses for rain. Only road courses were deemed safe to drive in. I think it's time to try it again with 20 more years of tire tech advances. Hell Michelin has made an intermediate tire into a slick though loads on a p1 car and a cup car a little different.

Random quote from Smokey Yunick about Jim Rathmann, "And I never liked men who read comic books while they were getting a blow job." Smokey is quite quotable.

Peanut President posted:Speaking of USAC how come they've come back to running pavement? F1600/2000/Atlantics all list USAC instead of SCCA on their website. Hmmm apparently USAC took control of sanctioning this past winter than I thought. They will be sanctioning Pirelli World Challenge now plus all of them. Maybe USAC wanting to get back into pavement sanctioning?

Is Aleshin still confirmed a ride with SMP? It seems like what may or may not happen with the president is contingent on that and highly doubtful now.

FuzzySkinner posted:Every other article has kinda implied it. Pretty much saying "Yeah we need to go back to the Pacific Northwest", etc As we've said again and again, Portland needs a renovation safety wise and for outside facilities. Only other place in the PNW is Pacific Raceways but that is in more dire need of a renovation than Portland and has had big plans for over a decade that have never panned out except for a cool rear end go kart track. So you'll need someone with tons of money to blow to get a track back going up here. Though getting Microsoft and Turn 10's attention to help, yeah they might sponsor it since it's local to them.

Cygni posted:Does anyone remember that story of a sportscar tub that last like 13 years and kept being refreshed, but was the same original tub? I want to say it started as like a Courage C65, but ran under like 6 different names over the years (C65, C75, ARX01, ARX03, OAK, Morgan) before finally being retired last year. I probably screwed up like 80% of the facts in that story, but it was something like that. Gotta beat that record. Reminds me of an old restrictor plate cup car that started out as a 97 Thunderbird and was racing a few years ago as a Charger. But also didn't hear about a Courage that got updated over and over with help from Oreca I'm betting.

Brooke was the reason for the super Christian part and I do remember the video about being Christian and married. Though according to Gordon's book he is "spiritual" blending all sorts of teachings and stuff so yeah he is not atheist but not the Uber Christian that he was. Also wooo it's May!

WindyMan posted:I bet Shell doesn't show up in NASCAR because of Sunoco. NASCAR loves to keep their major sponsors exclusive if they can help it. Funny enough that scenario happened when Harvick won the 500 and had a giant shell logo on his driver suit and NASCAR had a fit over it. They had to put Pennzoil under it and make the Shell logo smaller. They should do the Johnny Benson Pennzoil car next year.

Human Grand Prix posted:Also, Belli more or less admitted the rear wheel boxes didn't do their job. Servia and Montoya both bitched the aero was pushing weight behind the tires so it was snap pushing the cars. Same interview both of them were like holy poo poo this car you can put the nose to the gearbox in the turns and that crappy snap push was gone. The lovely thing is we got 6 loving months until we can see them racing.

I'd say do Sonoma same place, but add Mexico after that to early to mid October, then finale at California in late October, early November. Dodge the ugly summers both have and for California do it a Saturday night where we won't be waiting til 9 pm for sundown in the summer.

Dixon knows Ice Ice Baby by heart and dished on IROC that it was like driving at your local go-kart track trying to get the good car, while you're stuck with the poo poo car. Oh and during the burglary at the Taco Bell with Dixon and Franchitti, first thing Franchitti thought it was Kanaan pulling a prank causing a ruckus.
