the Garage 56 NASCAR onboard is the best thing to fall asleep to imo. Drag racing is a close 2nd but its easy to fall into "oh ill just see who wins this next race...oh one more cant hurt...well a guy i like is up next so i gotta stay for that one..." ad infinitum

Nybble posted:Wait, is there a F1TV equivalent for NASCAR? the thing that turns me off from watching is the ads breaking up all the momentum. Any more details on this? NASCAR Mobile is what its called on my phone, but it works on my computer too then I just hook it up to my TV. Live onboards and radio and usually they have a few different angles that just shows the entire track/all the cars. You do have to pay for it though but i believe its about the same as F1TV?

Road/oval? No noise sucks but whatever. I truly dont understand electric cars in drag racing. I subscribe to NHRA.tv, attend every local drag event I can, just a massive drag fan! and no noise/fake noise just absolutely murders any interest I have in the sport. also those taxpayers need a new Sheriff if theyre giving him a motorsport budget and he buys a CYBERTRUCK.

coconono posted:yeah that's why I was thinking about installing megaphones so the drivers can talk poo poo to each other as they drag down. Maybe get extra points for good zings or convincing engine noises. I think you misunderstood; artificial noise is worse or as bad as no noise imo. 99% excitement as a spectator of drag racing is the buildup of the engines idling, the roar when they take off. Making that fake/replacing it with insults sounds less appealing than just the near-silent high pitched electric motors. It just seems very "fixing a problem that doesnt exist". Dragsters arent road cars, they go (more or less) a 1/4 mile. They dont need to be electrified, especially at the cost of the MAIN APPEAL OF THE SPORT (the roar/fire/excitement of the dragsters taking off). I know electric motors have torque, but I dont really see any upside or reason to introduce electric to drag. NHRA dragsters arent road cars. They're built for drag racing. Why electrify them and ruin your sport? Taking out an ICE and putting in fake engine noise just seems like a middle finger to fans. Kvlt! fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Mar 23, 2024 |

coconono posted:I respect that opinion but I just wanna go real fuckin fast. then go to a track day? Or just an empty drag strip? I guess if your drag racing against other electric cars I can see the appeal if you literally only care about speed, but I dont think drag racing an electric motor against an ICE is any sort of accomplishment. Its like racing an F1 car against a NASCAR: youre not really winning a race when its against a completely different type of car built for a different purpose. I guess I just dont get it; if you really just "wanna go fast", why are you putting fake noise into your car? You clearly do care about the other aspects.

Oh ok i gotchu i misunderstood what you were saying I am curious are you racing your EV against ICE cars or other EVs, (and if the former, what are your thoughts on what I said in my previous post about racing EVs against ICE?) Id like to be clear Im not trying to be hostile or ask these questions in bad faith, youre just the first person ive encountered who drags EVs so im just curious as how you see the ICE vs. EV issue when it comes to drag racing (im talking competition, not the noise/spectator stuff)

coconono posted:oh its totally, cool. its car banter. And I'm waiting for the rain to break here in Pomona anyway. Thanks for the reply! That def makes a lot of sense, made me a little more open to the idea. Especially the last part where it's more "a new class" than it is "replacing old ones". I'd def be interested in some updates on your project as they happen that does sound interesting.

is there a website that just has a list of all races happening that day? A lot of times after work i wanna watch a live race of ANY KIND but theres so many across so many different types of racing I often will look for one and not be able to find one, then the next day realize there was one happening I didnt know about.
