Are we ever going to get the Crazy vs ACDC 5-lap demolition derby for the Rivalry trophy?

We should totally do this before the shootout on Saturday. We can be the opening act
And LOL I have done these demo derbies at Daytona before but not in a NASCAR.

Surely afterwards? You don't wanna wreck them before
I'm sure I heard that hard impacts affect the chassis rigidity....

Well, it's either get the aggression out before the shootout or take it out on each other after. So, I guess really eitherway can work. But I think it will be all-in-fun if we do it before the race and if we did it after it may lead to more hostility/animosity. Maybe we need to put a pole up for this?

Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing don't come to the track with just one car. Roll out the backups.

Anyway, stop hijacking the thread and take this to the Cup one

Maybe have your demolition derby with ACDC before the shootout, and then have the whole room/lounge do some dirty NASCAR after the shootout (recommended list cars, 10 laps, boost on high, no tyre wear, grip reduction on low etc)

Guess I still have 6 chances to get my first Daytona win in a while. I'm not in WSM so I didn't compete in that race, and the crash at the start of the Nationwide winter testing ruined my chances of a win there.

The guys that have not raced in here before could use some reminders I think (I now I could). For instance, I'm unclear on the tire rule for 'Tona, do we have to use different compounds through the race or can we stick with one? Also, there is no intentional bump-drafting, correct?
I don't think I've ever ran these things around Tona before tonight. My first laps felt pretty comfy, I really didn't change much from my regular circuit set-up, I hope there's no drastic changes that I should be doing as far as suspension. I did review the regs and made those adjustments, then some minor downforce and camber tweaks and it felt good.

Nope, only hard compound is used on Ovals.
And I would refrain from ANY contact, as nearly ANY rear contact can give the person engine damage, as it's rear-engined. And wheels are sensitive too.

If you have trouble with the car getting loose/spinning on some small bumps in the low line of the turns, put your ride height all the way up (10 10). It'll also help you turn easier.
As Cowboys said, comfort hard is the only compound at ovals and contact can easily give damage, so be careful when you're following someone (they might have to check up).
You should be running out of fuel before you run out of tyres in a stint, meaning everyone will be on very similar strategies.
You will be required to stay below the apron until you reach the backstretch after you have pitted. Be aware of a bump inbetween turns 1 and 2 on the apron, and that the car will want to start pushing up onto the banking as you near the exit of turn 2.
Reminder about the transmission requirements which are in the OP.
Pace lap and caution speed is 100mph, and I'd advise our pace car driver to have CAUTION typed out ready to send for if there is a caution, as well as saying it. Caution procedure for ovals is also listed in the OP. Care should be taken to not make contact under caution and a sensible space should be kept between you and the car in front.

Good, I should be set. Just wanted to verify the regs, kind of a lot to take in all at once, but I think I'm ready. I've got quite a bit of time in an FGT, and quite a bit of time at Daytona, just never the same time. I'll get some more practice in before the race, but I think I'll be alright. Should be a great race.
