The schedule needs more ovals. Street and road courses are the same thing.  KingShibby posted:Fixed, thanks That was old info from a few years ago that I compiled. It's probably more like: NBC: Booth- Leigh Diffey, Paul Tracy, Townsend Bell Pits- Jon Beekhuis, Kevin Lee, Robin Miller, Marty Snider/Katie Hargitt ...now. Admittedly, I don't remember who did what. Diffey is doing both IMSA and IndyCar, though, so there might still be other PBP voices if there are any conflicts.

Word is we're getting another racing 30 for 30 and, this time, it's about a female racecar driver. Surprisingly, it's not her, but somebody else who might actually be interesting: quote:But during the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday night, ESPN teased several new installments in the series. Some of the featured athletes include Michael Vick, Lance Armstrong, Dennis Rodman, Florence Griffith Joyner, Janet Guthrie, and the Chuck Liddell-Tito Ortiz rivalry. https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/espn-teases-new-30-for-30-films-on-lance-armstrong-dennis-rodman-michael-vick-among-others.html e- Posted here because I actually associate her more with the Indy 500 than NASCAR.

The schedule goes: -St Pete- Good -COTA- TBD -Barber- Bad -Long Beach- Owns -Indy Road Course- Meh, but it's Indy/The Month of May -Indy 500- Owns -Detroit 1- Good -Detroit 2- Didn't we just do this yesterday? -Texas- Better when it was admittedly terrifying, but still OK. -Road America- Meh -Toronto- Meh, but it's been a staple. -Iowa- Owns -Mid-Ohio- Good -Pocono- Good -Gateway- Good -Portland- Good -Laguna Seca- Good Just replace a couple road/street courses with ovals and the schedule's more balanced. In a perfect world, I'd swap Barber (for which I have an inexplicable dislike), COTA/Road America, and one of the Detroit races (though I get why they have two there and Belle Isle itself isn't bad) and throw in Michigan (there's your second "Detroit" race)/Richmond/Milwaukee.

Does anybody care about Fast 9? e- Holy poo poo, it's only three spots, not 6. 10-30 are locked in Saturday. I math good. CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 22:57 on May 17, 2019 |

It allows them to air the last hour of day 1, and then the pole and "who gets bumped" sessions. Now that I do a bit more digging, I think it's an NHL conflict. The Sharks and Blues are playing at 3.

FuzzySkinner posted:The one talking point I had a slight disagreement was the mention of Roger Penske not taking a shot on her due to sexism. It's -not- impossible that, that could be the case, but to make Team Penske in any era? It's a challenge. I mean this years champion of the "500" was rumored to be on the outs for quite some time for example. The documentary talks about how she had an offer from Pat Patrick for 1977 and turned it down out of loyalty to Rolla (spoilered for those who haven't seen it yet and don't know like I didn't), which is fascinating because that could've put her in a position to have a better run but shows the character she had. Danica's rear end would've jumped ship if a comparable situation presented itself (and she'd have been right to do so if she so chose). e- It basically comes down to one of the many fascinating "What if?s" about racing. She "did the right thing", but may have stunted her career as a result. CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 14:55 on May 29, 2019 |

It's not out of the realm of possibility to think NASCAR is arrogant enough to think they'll go along with it, but yeah, I don't think they're actually that cognitively crippled. ...then again, they're simultaneously marketing the Coke Zero 400 as one of their great patriotic traditions and the last July race at Daytona, so  .

On the surface, that ain't right, but it's safer (which I'm on board with) and we'll probably be fine with it once we see it in action and are used to it.

Cygni posted:still ballast in most cars unfortch. you can see em when they are painted over. for example, check out power/dixon here, vs rossi/rahal: It's like the pods on the cars in NASCAR- some of them have cameras, but all of them were there for aerodynamics. There was a year (1997) where only 3 races had roof cams before teams complained about an aero advantage to the cars with them, so they took them away.
