NASCAR??? REALLY??? Give me a break!!!
I thought that wasn't the snail spirit at all. I'm European, i know nothing about Nascar or oval racing. Tricks, strategies or even be in the draft without flying through someone!
I'll do it but i'm voting it off with a passion!

The only real strategy here is hold 'er to the mat, turn left, keep it low, don't be in first on the first half of the last lap, unless you're ten seconds ahead of everybody. ;) :sly:

To be brutally frank, NASCARs at ovals should be some of the tightest racing. Mistakes will obviously gap whomever is affected by them.

Good bump drafting should help though, unless you get off backwards into the grass and fall nearly a lap down.
 
Looks like 15 laps for Daytona will hit the 10 minute mark nicely. Coach and I ran 41.9 with just 2 cars. I expect a 4 car train to best that by at least a second, maybe more.

6-7 laps at GP/D

Thanks Dragon! I've updated the lineup post with your recommended laps. I went with 7 at GP/D, but let me know if anyone thinks it should be 6. In other words, if it takes even D1 drivers more than 10 minutes to finish 6 laps, we need to lower the lap count there to 6.
 
A couple thoughts from practice with the Nascraps tonight:
1. Penalties should be off in all divisions for this race as bump drafting makes your car ghost and before you know it you drove through the guy in front of you.
2. Qualifying should be done with no more than 4 at a time so no drafting takes place.
3. Try to hold a line through the corner and not jump to other lanes without looking. A few times tonight contact was made because of erratic driving.
4. Vote combo 3 because it's boring till the last lap. :grumpy:

Would've put you guys in with your own colors but I can't seem to find the color chart. Will keep looking.

If we get more than 11 folks racing these, there will be duplicates.

Thanks Dragon. Put me down for T-Stew's #14. Thanks
 
So I thought Bowler said the 2010 Hendrick cars were the same as the 2011. Will my 2010 #24 work or no?

Hey joe, referring back to this post the answer is no. however, since bowler is in charge of the list, he will have the final say.

Didnt know I did anything wrong lol Whats the penalty for? Pm me plz
 
Since there are only 10 2011 nascars available and more than 10 people have competed in D2 the last few weeks (I think), can I run the #24 even though Luv2coach has taken it. It would save me from breaking in another car. If I am wrong about the number of competitors or cars available let me know. If I don't run the #24, you can assign any car to me that is available. I have no favorite or preference.

Thx,
 
Yeah, I wouldn't worry garagefather. I'm running the 43 ford regardless if someone chose it or not. There are not enough cars to cover everyone so requesting a car is kind of moot I think.

Find your division steward and pm them. The list is linked on that report, our at least should be.
Edit: I see that its not, so here is the link
Dabs, can you add that link to report posts so people don't need to dig to find it?

Me? I don't post the reports, Oshawa-Joe does.
 
why, I do believe your right! Sorry man, I was using my phone and quickly going through looking for all of that info. Joe, I ask the same of you then. That way people don't have to dig to find out whom exactly is their division steward.
