Texas

They are headed to Texas this week. Goodyear tires should be an issue. AGAIN.

They would solve the tire issues if NASCAR would open it up to other tire manufacturers. Dumbasses don't get it that competition improves the tires and the sport.

NASCAR always wants a "balance." To "put it in the drivers hands." See also; have crappy tires. The last time that Goodyear had a decent tire that lasted a full fuel run was about 2002. After that, they stated messing around with things. And performance started falling off a cliff.

If you're a fan of racing, you want the tires to fall off before the fuel runs out. Because that brings in tire management, which separates truly skilled drivers and engineers from the rest.

but you want them to wear out, not blow out like cali.

Should have the same thing this week eh?

 

[bksballer89]

I really never understood why practice is not ran the same time as the race will be. The race will be finished at this time on sunday. Shouldn't practice be ran earlier in the day around 3 or 4?

That would make too much since, for NASCAR to comprehend.

 

[Retroram52]

Shoot, somebody is making way too much sense for NASCAR.

Jeffy Poo is running an aTm scheme this weekend?

 

[bksballer89]

Why

 

[bksballer89]

Final practice is from 1030-12

I like the tire system as it is. We get more wrecks and that my friends makes NASCAR fun to watch.
Wrecks are fun to watch as long as no one gets hurt.

 

[Retroram52]

I thought that is what a demolition derby is for at the local fairgrounds?

 

[bksballer89]

Smoke is on the pole

 

[bksballer89]

Way too many rain delays so early in the season. This is the 3rd or 4th rain delay in the first 7 races

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

this sucks. I doubt they get this one in. Wait, do they have lights at Texas?

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah and according to nascar.com it is supposed to begin at 430 EST so we'll see
