>Thompson's the most historic track in New England but its future has been questionable for years please go there.
Wasn't it only opened in the 1970s? Surely there are older tracks in the region. It is definitely the most important for the Whelen Tour. I believe we have talked about this before, but I need to visit family and drag them along, I think a few might even have fun. The broadcast Wednesday said it was a sell out crowd and it sure looked like it, so that's good to see.
>Generally anything modified related in the south (e.g. SMART, Bowman Gray) is considered irrelevant.
Ugh, tell me about it. We have more dirt tracks than you can shake a stick at and every time I ask the dirt track fans about any kind of asphalt oval racing, they just aren't interested. I think the closest asphalt short track is Nashville Speedway (the one at the Fairgrounds) or maybe Bristol. Neither of which I can just pop over to on a Saturday night.
I'm glad to see Acez has been including more small time stuff, so hopefully, I can watch more of it and maybe we can even discuss it and develop a community here. I was really stoked to see that other anon asking about it.
Dirt modified are cool too, but they never really resonated with me. It's a weid middle ground between a late model and a sprint car and I prefer both of those to the dirt modifieds. Which isn't to say they can't put on a good race.

>IndyCar races there in 2 weeks.
That was all I could find at first. It's a kind of weird venue by modern standards since it's owned by the government. Is it owned by the State or West Allic or Milwaukee County or what?

Oh, good. The two biggest races this weekend are not only scheduled against each other (again) they are both ending at about the same time. Wonderful.

>>150172095
the state government owns it

>>150171888
Thompson opened in 1940 (paved, with higher banking than it current does). The only other track still in existence that I know existed prior to Thompson is Stafford, but that was a horse track and I do not believe they raced cars until after WWII. And yeah, we have talked about this before.
I'm pretty sure I'm still the only one here that pays for Flo. It'd be great to feel like I'm not just talking to myself about modified (or other short track) racing like the good old fanschoice days again.
I was never really into dirt stuff in general and their modifieds even less so. There are shockingly 4 dirt ovals in New England, though they're all further north than nearly all the paved ovals.

How much is it, if you don't mind telling?
I am not so sure it would be worth it to me because I'm already pretty overwhelmed by series to watch and while its cool that a lot of smaller series run on weekends, they go way too late. I had to turn off Whelen last Wednesday at the halfway point.

Damn it. Also, based USAC.

$150/year. If you don't particularly care about something they broadcast, I doubt it's worth it for you.
I mainly watch for the NWMT and various other modified events (some Tri-Track, Stafford, New Smyrna). Getting the Chili Bowl, Tulsa Shootout, Snowball Derby, and big NASCAR sanctioned events like the Martinsville 300 are a bonus.
Fuck Racing America and pay-per-view pricing the same price as actual tickets.

Beautiful country. Also, do they really have a blimp up? Those things are pretty rare.

>>150173078
Well, I want to get more into modifieds, but I don't know if I have the time, or more accurately the scheduling is off.
>I mainly watch for the NWMT and various other modified events (some Tri-Track, Stafford, New Smyrna).
I would appreciate reminders of when those races are running. I might not be able to watch all of them, but I would like to try. I think they are really neat.
I watched some Chile Bowl and Tulsa, but I didn't follow the entire event. Still some good stuff.
Yeah, PPV is pretty lame, especially for such small series/events. They would be better off trying to grow their brand with advertising suppored free streams or subscription networks.

nothing 200 feet of bearbond can't fix

I am casually looking at the cup race right now as an almost total novice and you guys need to help me out here a little bit.
Do teams not matter at all? It seems like the narrative is all about the drivers and sometimes about the badge on the car, but I hardly ever hear anything about team dynamics.
Even when they show a driver info card on screen it doesn't even mention what team they race for.
So what's the deal? Are teams just background noise in the context of NASCAR or is everyone just assuming that the audience knows every team-driver combo by hearth?

Also unrelated note but as a yuropoor I find it absolutely hilarious that a car is sponsored by a recruiting firm specialising in submarine manufacturing. Peak murica

>>150175176
>

>>150175500
>is everyone just assuming that the audience knows every team-driver combo by heart?
100% this
Team and even OEM dynamics come into the storyline often, mostly at plate tracks (Daytona, Talladega) where Chevys will help Chevys, Fords help Fords, etc. Last year Blaney tandem drafted his Penske teammate Logano to the lead and aero blocked a Toyota from catching him. And at Martinsville, Chevy cars created a blockade behind Byron, preventing him from being passed by other cars in the final laps so he wouldn't get eliminated in the playoffs.

>>150175724
>100% this
so novices like me that don't know who's who can get fucked basically? I hear the commentators mention teams in passing sometimes but unless I pay very close attention to what they say and take notes, there is no way for me to see which drivers belong to which teams.
I guess it's not that important in this sport, but having literally zero information on screen about this seems a bit weird.

>>150179119
I think what svg needs to do is laser focus on one oval type. He doesn't need to be good at short tracks or super speedways if hes above average at 1.5mile tracks. Something like that.

>>150179119
In this timeline, he will beat Logano's record at being the NASCAR champion with the lowest average finish on his championship season.

>>150175500
>Even when they show a driver info card on screen it doesn't even mention what team they race for.
IndyCar is similar, but not quite so bad. Essentially, no, teams don't matter in the current era of NASCAR. They might, MIGHT do some small things to help each other if they are farther down the feild, but if the SVG/Zillich racing has been proof of anything, it is that the teams end at the pit stall.

>>150175897
Teams DO matter in how well the cars get built, but that's about it.
>>150177075
>NASCAR is telling you to lurk moar nooblel
Yeah, there is an extremely high expectation that the viewers know absolute everything already and the topic of discussion is mostly what is happening this week. It helps to listen to the pods casts which probably make the situation worse for people who don't already know everything.

>>150179525
That's a pretty good plan since he has the road/street courses on lock and most of the tracks are cookie cutters. Plus, the car is specifically designed for them.

>>150175500
Each organization has 1-4 cars, the cars are considered teams. The 11 team races for Joe Gibbs racing, the 19 team races for Joe Gibbs. The owner’s championship tracks the result of the team/car as separate entities, there’s nothing like the constructors in formula 1 where the points are the total of the cars. Also theres 3 manufacturers across 36 cars, so it’s not really important, however Chevy guys will draft with Chevy guys at super speedways and stuff.

However, even though the teams are separate despite being in the same organization, they still follow the golden rule of not wrecking your organizational teammate.

It’s not really important as a casual fan to know the teams.

Example:
>joey logano and Ryan blaney and Austin cindric are all racing each other
>if they finish well, it benefits the individual drivers, not necessarily team Penske in the same way the constructors works in formula 1
>they are still told to not wreck each other.


Also guys can get penals for race manipulation if, for example Austin cindric blocks a driver who’s racing Joey Logano for the championship

>Do teams not matter at all?
Sort of. Actually, in the most recent years, manufacturers orders have been more common than team orders (like Austin Dillon holding part of the field back at Martinsville last year so one of the Chevys could pass to the championship finale at Phoenix), and just as
>>150175724
>>150181701
said, on superspeedways or drafting style of racing situations, cars from the same manufacturer will try to help eachother out. Also, just as the second anon that I quoted said, each car is treated as an individual team most of the time, even if they race under the same umbrella. However, it's possible to see sometimes drivers from the same organization helping eachother or even drivers from other organizations but which that one has a technical support from a higher team helping the drivers from it (just like Berry from Wood Bros. helping a Penske driver because Wood Bros. has a technical alliance with Penske).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak-L4SJCdT8

>>150175500
The 24, 48, 5, and 9 are all the same organization (Hendrick Motorsports and are Chevy)

The 12, 22, and 2 are all team Penske cars and are fords, but they have a technical alliance with the 21 car which is a different organization but the car is prepared from the same shop as team Penske.

The 11, 19, 54, and 20 are all Joe Gibbs cars and Toyota.

The 23, 45 and the 35 car are 23XI (twenty three eleven) and are all Toyota and have an alliance with Joe Gibbs I think.

The 42 and 43 are legacy motor club and are Toyota.

The 6, 60, and 17 cars are roush Fenway keselowski and are ford.

The 47 car is its own team but I don’t recall the team name

he has more open-wheel experience than Scott McLaughlin did when he came to IndyCar from Supercars, and Scotty Mac has done alright, except this historically bad Team Penske season.

the OG GRID from 2008? based, underrated game.

>>150182434
many such cases

>>150175500
it's a quirk of the history of the sport. originally there were no 'teams' in the F1 sense, every driver owned and built their car themselves. Actual teams like the Kiekhaefer Chryslers of the 50s were very much an exception. Even the big dynasties like Petty Enterprises and Wood Brothers were originally owner-drivers. It wasn't until the 80s where owners who didn't actually race their own machines became the norm, and wasn't until the 00s when multi-car outfits became common. So, even into the 90s, most 'teams' only had one car so a driver and a team were effectively synonymous. For example, Childress' #3 machine was originally Richard Childress' own personal entry. he didn't start hiring a driver to run for him until the 80s, with Dale Sr being the most famous to drive it. and Childress only had that one car until the late 90s when they started to occasionally run the #31 alongside the #3. The proliferation of multi-car teams was spearheaded by the likes of Penske and Hendrick, both of whom were outsiders who jumped over from Indycar and IMSA, respectively.

>>150175500
>a car is sponsored by a recruiting firm specialising in submarine manufacturing. Peak murica
how is that worse than a cryptocurrency sponsor, or an energy drink sponsor, or an AI company sponsor, or a vaping sponsor, or a sports gambling sponsor, or etc.?
race teams take whatever sponsor money they can get. the government(s) banned cigarette sponsors (but somehow still allow vaping) so here we are.

hell, OnlyFans sponsors cars, and there is an actual porn star racing in GTWC Australia, and you're worried about submarine manufacturers sponsoring race teams?

Racers do. Fans do.

But the engine and auto manufacturers who provide the powerplants and sponsorship are fully onboard with the globohomo plan to first eliminate the internal combustion engine, and then do away with personal transportation completely - leaving humans herded into the huge prisons they deceitfully call "walkable cities."

Safety first.

I'm completely clueless about nascar, and only have knowledge of the older V8 Supercar series and holy shit SVG seems to be unbeatable in the road courses over there. The absolute fucking state of >turnleft. Might give it a watch. How many more road courses are there to go?

>The absolute fucking state of >turnleft
I get the shitpost but it just shows how much more time hes driven road courses compared to cup drivers when you see where he is when they go back to ovals. Its a great thing for the series though, kinda like when Gordon was dominating those tracks in the 90's it only forces drivers to get better and raises the overall level.

Luckily, they are starting to realize that there are some pretty basic (and easily predictable) logistical issues that make full electrification impossible with current and even foreseeable future. Specifically, there are not enough rare earth elements available and the electrical grid couldn't handle the increased load.
The rest of your statement is pretty spot on.

>>150185997
Why don't NASCAR and IndyCar mix up their schedules instead of having long runs of ovals and long runs of road courses. It would help mitigate these specialists like SVG and Palou going on massive sweeps. Although, it looks like Palou is starting to get the hang of ovals.

>>150186919
it's already missing violet and pink, two of the original colors of the flag before the random generated genders and things started to show up
know your adversaires

>>150187055
having palou and svg dominate for a few races but not the whole season is good for the business

Free nugs w/purchase at Wendy's cuz svg won

>>150186210
Even though the rainbow scheme may be more iconic, the flames were more badass and gave more room for scheme variations (such as some Pepsi schemes used by Gordon and schemes that are used until today by Byron on the #24).

>>150181465
And people asks why marlin boomhauer got parkinson for hiding a lot of CTE's

>>150187239
I like the flames, but I was 6 or 7 when Gordon ran his first race. So the rainbow is what sticks with me the most

>they are starting to realize that there are some pretty basic (and easily predictable) logistical issues that make full electrification impossible
"Full electrification" for *everyone alive today* was never their plan.

Their plan was only ever electric vehicles for *them*, and no personal vehicles at all for the useless eaters - but by the time the dumb animals figure that out the petro system will be shutting down and there won't be a damn thing the slaves will be able to do except take one final electric vehicle ride...to prison or the morgue.

Just remember, oil is the second most abundant liquid on earth. It's technically finite, but even at current consumption rates, it won't be a problem for hundreds if not thousands of years. If it really was a problem, there would be all kinds of calls to action about single use plastics, but there are NO brakes on the plastics train.
Everything the government and companies say is a fucking lie.
I don't be loving some big oil companies, though.

>Everything the government and companies say is a fucking lie
An essential truth for humanity (for racers, too).

The more nuanced description is governments and corporations - because they're both owned by the same hyperwealthy oligarchy, like cooperating departments of a single larger corporation - *say whatever gets them what the oligarchy wants, regardless of whether those statements are true or false*.

(I say this because there's always some AI pilpul bot that pukes up the trivially legalistic "the bizgov says the sky is blue - therefore everything else you say is wrong.")

p.s. We don't have a problem with the amount of remaining oil, but those of us who don't sacrifice children and worship Mammon *do* have a problem with where the rest of it is. The oil available to us Jed Clampetts is gone. And few of us have the ability to start another Macondo disaster or displace the IsraSaudis from on top of the oil sands.

I really like that front splitter.

>>150191529
Now that's some good ol' grassroots racing.
Jokes aside, those old racing videos are great relics from the past. Motorsports weren't as advanced and safe as they are today, but they were much more authentic. One cool thing that IMSA does is posting old race coverages on their official channel, so check out this 1955 Sebring 12h highlights that I found interesting too.

>>150192414
Unfortunately NASCAR changed the CoT front splitter on 2011. That splitter from 2007-2010 was really cool. It gave the impression that the splitter was held by wires (if it really wasn't).

>>150192477
>Jokes aside
No joke there, fren. That was 100% grass roots racing. Just compare it with this 1955 Indy 500 video or that Sebring video, which is one of my favorites, BTW. Those are high organized, well funded professional racing teams, which is awesome, but that Langhorne video is a bunch of everyman racers just going out there and risking their lives for the thrill of it. It's insanely sovlful in a way the other two can't match.

I bet no guidance councilor has ever suggested to a high schooler they get into the floor mat business.

>>150198306
Well, he didn't start out in floor mats.
>WeatherTech was founded in 1989 by current CEO David MacNeil, who did not appreciate the quality of vehicle floor mats as they did not well-contain dirt and were not easy to clean. At the time, MacNeil was the vice president of sales at high-performance vehicle company AMG, now a subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz.
I feel like such a idiot for not being a scammer, I mean, businessman.

American labor is so expensive that it isn't really worth cutting corners on materials and construction.

>>150199507
It's really not that expensive, it's just not dirt cheap either.
These mats don't require much in the way of labor anyway, I'm guessing there's a group of employees that keep the machines full of whatever medium they make the mats out of and another that slaps a sticker on them and puts them on pallets.
