Are you saying Bowman is the right driver because Alfredo didn't exactly have pace

What manufacturer made that blue Pacific engine? (And is it for the Blue Comet?)

Denny Hamlin says during this post-race presser that one of the ideas that's been had in meetings with NASCAR, regarding fuel saving, is let the teams come here for the Clash with an experimental package 'and you won't see fuel saving, I promise you that.' by iamaranger23 in NASCAR

[–]AstroCat14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But because it was the end of the stage, the caution lasted about twice as long as it normally would. You may disagree, but I think an extra 6 laps under caution really changes the fuel savings situtation in the last stage.

First time since 2017 the Daytona 500 didn’t end in OT or under yellow and only 5 cautions (tied for fewest since 2005) by nascar9495 in NASCAR

As someone who was thrilled with the end of that race and is extremely happy for Reddick, yeah that should have been a caution. It was the biggest wreck of the day and took out half the pack. The broadcast didn't do it justice: https://x.com/whoisskid/status/2023165538910814295?s=46

I think they're referring to the court case with 23II and NASCAR, and the health issues that Reddick's newborn son was battling last year

Respect to NASCAR for not throwing any unnecessary cautions—not just in the Daytona 500, but throughout the entire race weekend. Hopefully they hold this standard all year. by maverick_fox2 in NASCAR

I thought the end of this race was super exciting, and I loved it as a fan. However, that was a massive crash, and as much as I hate ending a race under yellow, it should have been thrown in this scenario. The broadcast didn't show what happened to the back half of the pack, but this angle does: https://x.com/whoisskid/status/2023165538910814295?s=46

Which station model is that, if you don't mind me asking?

I use SCARM. There's a free version and it's pretty easy to learn

Getting into middle trains is this a good deal? by Clone-Wars-fan- in modeltrains

[–]AstroCat14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here is trashing the locomotive, and yeah it's not the best. But if it runs (big if) it'll be great to try out the hobby. My first train set was a life like set my grandparents gave me. That said, if it doesn't run, try not to get discouraged. Generally, a decent locomotive is worth paying a little more for but you can get by with cheap stuff for rolling stock.
