Some off season banter.

Not sure what's worse, that there's 11 minutes worth of Brian Scott crashing, or the Marty Reid/Brad Daugherty commentary.

And just when you thought that kenseth tow truck from eBay wasn't enough, someone decides to do this

I want this for christmas

Seeing Cassill's fantastic rating on keeping his car in one piece brings this back to mind.



Sage advice, Landon.

Sad part is...she's still doing this in 2015

Both. Both of them are horrid

As I've said before there's nothing wrong with the live axle setup they use so there's no reason to get rid of it.

Everyone hates on live/solid axles but some of the best loved cars have them and they're actually still the best when it comes to camber control.

Their big failings are the unsprung weight and the floor space they take up, one of which is a total non-issue in this instance.

The nascar system is also pretty refined for what it is, the truck arms are very long which is good, there's a large amount of adjustability and the driver adjustable track bar height is something totally impossible with IRS (realistically).

This perceived performance gain to be had by switching to IRS in nascar is nonsense, the fans wouldn't notice anything, the laptimes would probably not change at all and it would just be a whole lot of effort for the teams.

 

[GTPorsche]

The only performance gain would be on the road courses, and they don't do enough of those to justify a switch of suspension systems.

About 2-3 years late, I've finally got some of my DVR'd 2013 races on dvd :

***(And to any who are thinking of asking, no I'm not going to make files of the disc content on my pc and share them to you)***

 

[GTPorsche]

Well, that would be illegal to do anyway.

That LiftMaster livery looks pretty decent.

 

[GTFan24]

So i was looking through lionel's website when i found this render

Kyle possibly going back to yellow? Also yes, that liftmaster scheme looks so much better than last years

 

[GTPorsche]

Crispy M&Ms was a one year deal because they had just brought them back to stores.

 

[GTFan24]

I actually had a thought that its possible he may run different schemes based off the m&m products and mars itself; who knows, maybe he'll finally run a twix scheme since that is owned by mars

The only other m&m's product hes raced with if im correct were the m&m pretzels

 

[GTPorsche]

That all depends on which variant of M&Ms they want to promote.

He's has raced many of the years

Well, there was this mars product:

I don't think we'll see a twix car, Mars seems like they have never felt it needed exposure on a car.

 

[Furinkazen]

We've had this...

 

[GTPorsche]

Boy, nothing quite says Snickers like diamond plate texture and flames.

Sad thing is, its a lot better then when someone decided that the Snickers logo on the sides needs to be massively oversized and cutoff.

Same with Milky Way... but who knows

Kinda funny that my favorite snickers car is

 

[GTPorsche]

Seriously. If they just reduced the size of the logo so it fit on the quarter panel properly, it would be a 9/10 easily.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Seriously. If they just reduced the size of the logo so it fit on the quarter panel properly, it would be a 9/10 easily.

Agreed. The logo just needs to be a touch smaller and it would look great. The number on the roof is a nice touch too.

 

[ukfan758]

Or they could bring back my favorite livery for the 18 (even though it'll never happen due to sponsorship deals):

 

[Dolph Drago]

Maybe it's the nostalgia speaking, but I really like the first Interstate scheme.

 

[ukfan758]

Maybe it's the nostalgia speaking, but I really like the first Interstate scheme.

Even better .

 

[Northstar]

I like any Interstate scheme that doesn't have the "tear-away" effect on the hood or looks like a pack of Fruit Stripe gum. Unfortunatly the current one does both.

 

[GTFan24]

Maybe it's the nostalgia speaking, but I really like the first Interstate scheme.

If only that could be his darlington throwback next year..... oh the joy i would have

 

[MustangRyan]

Maybe it's the nostalgia speaking, but I really like the first Interstate scheme.

All I can hear when I see this is... "It's the Dale and Dale show, and you know who I'm pulling for!"
