• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software.

Sorry, don't understand the animosity. She did well, considering. Yes, it was a boring race with not much chance of passing but OK if you just want to see cars go around an oval flat out lap after lap at speeds approaching 200 mph. For a good race have them use the same course as the Rolex 24. I suppose that's why I prefer the Aussie V8's........very similar cars on road courses....not an oval in their season.
 
How did she drop from third to eighth in 1/2 lap? Was it a points thing? She literally looked like she put the breaks on. Did she run out of gas?
 
My ramblings on the 500.

The race did not live up to its hype for me. I hoped there would be no devastating crashes and there were none. Fender bending yes, injuries today, no.

I was disappointed in the "freight train" type of racing. Just a long line of cars going around. It appears that getting out and passing is going to be a problem with the new Gen 6 cars. Most cars I saw pull out, ended up being sucked back in the pack and losing position.

Today, Danica could not be accused of being involved in, or causing an accident--that was good for once.

My impression was that it was sort of Ho Hum.

You've been missing for too long! :thumbup:

Hey Bob!....yeah, been having fun wrenching all winter but it's racing time again! :thumbup: (And maybe :ani29: time again soon!)

Not that great a 500 IMO, certainly didn't want to see a Bush race repeat but hoped for a little more action.

Danica did well, I'm not sure if the Bif had gone low the two of them could have gotten by the 48 anyhow....she'll be second guessing that one all season but it is what it is. Overall, she had a nice race, decent top 10 finish and broke a couple long standing records....that's cool! :yes:

"Had a first place car and didn't win" Kinda weak Randy....there were at least 20 first place cars out there, and they didn't win either!! :roflblack:

And what's with that 'Drivers and Danica' thing anyhow? He only had to remember 6 little words and I think he screwed them up!! :dontknow:

 
She drove a bit of a cautious; yet smart race... Few mistakes and few chances taken. :thumbup:
Jeff fading to 20th??? :gaah: Perhaps the overheating issue started finally taking it's toll on the engine... :shocked:

:2thumbs: So are you going to take one of those Yammie-Maxes, and convert it over to a reverse-trike configuration?? ;)
That would be an awesome engine to power one!

Holy cow Bob, almost 19,000 posts!! Where HAVE I BEEN!!

There already is a max powered trike, the Roadstercycle. But it sure looks like a back killer to me! Be a blast tho....eh? Without a 'nanny' you'd probly be sideways more than straight!

I like that V-max trike.

I owned a 1984 Yamaha Venture (V-Max) and that was one sweet, FAST, touring machine. I would still have it, but decided that I needed to sell it, go back to college, and finish that degree. It worked out, but, wish I would have financed the degree differently.

Now: getting back to the thread subject--a race question?

The "approved" cars are Chevy, Ford, and Toyota. What happened to Dodge? Did they not want to "pay to play", or was it something else. Inquiring mind(s) would like to know.

I think the race would have been better if Harvick & Stewart were able to race on and be competitive. I was at Daytona over the weekend and there was so much hype about Danica that I was just about sick of it. But, she did race well and didn't cause any accidents or get caught up in any.

With Penske making the switch to Ford this season, Dodge was left with no teams and they could not convince any other owner to make the switch to Dodge. But Dodge has said they want to return to Nascar when the time is right.
 
Dang she took a hard hit. Cleaned the skin right of that left side. Lot of front rights going down. Too much brake dialed in.
 
I'm not sure if I should feel insulted, or laugh my butt off!
So I'll dance instead! :roflblack::ohyea::ohyea::ohyea::ohyea::thumbup:
