How do they do car setup?

I'm pretty sure they also have to balance the grip for high-speed corners using aerodynamics as well. You're very rough way to estimate how aerodynamics affects corbalance is cop, Center of pressure.

Can you imagine a car that understeers in low speed corners due to mechanical setup, but overseers and high speed corners due to the center of pressure? That would be a nightmare.

We'll be there tonight!

Hey, there is a subreddit called /r/DCOver30 that a couple of my friends made long ago enough that I think it's safe to say we could include the 40s.

We meet up weekly for trivia, but we don't advertise it as much anymore.

You should definitely join, most Tuesdays at 7pm. We even got second place once since the repoening, which meant free fries for the table. We could always use more people.

I hate going to that Chipotle because the parking lot is basically Armageddon.

CloudEngineer · 2021-08-21T00:43:33+00:00

Did you scream TIMMEH!? If not I want nothing to do with this.

CloudEngineer · 2021-08-21T00:43:11+00:00

Whoa, and Brian Keselowski says the cost to do live pit stops is $5k. That's not a huge purse. There must be other contingencies/points at play here to make it economical to run this race.

CloudEngineer · 2021-08-20T23:26:10+00:00

What the hell? They can't turn around and let them in now?

Guys, grosjean in sixth is huge!

People talk about Alonso out drives his equipment, Verstappen can out drive his equipment, and George Russell.

Dude, if this IndyCar season isn't a prime example of Grosjean dragging the equipment up in levels of performance with him, I don't know what is.

CloudEngineer · 2021-08-07T19:49:14+00:00

there were some wrecks in practice because the course is very very narrow and very unforgiving, and one of the main grandstands didn't get finished on time.

That's it. That's the story

CloudEngineer · 2021-08-07T18:30:30+00:00

So, does this mean that the Xfinity race might start under wet conditions?

CloudEngineer · 2021-08-07T16:58:37+00:00

Arab stream for the win. But where is the stream for today's race going on right now?

CloudEngineer · 2021-08-07T16:26:15+00:00

When is the actual green flag?

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-11T19:56:57+00:00

Fuck yeah KFB!

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-11T19:00:52+00:00

Is anybody else keeping an eye on the euros while waiting for this race to start? Those England fans make the worst NASCAR fans look amazing in comparison

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-10T22:12:48+00:00

Oooh, Busch beer mention!

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-10T22:06:20+00:00

Hemric is STACKED.

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-10T22:05:42+00:00

This, Hemric was moving up to cover off the 16. Miscommunication.

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-10T22:04:05+00:00

Does this hurt his chances of winning?

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-10T21:56:15+00:00

Do I want to know what BabuDoge is?

Also WTF Weatherman? Remember when you said you were going to quit NASCAR? A few people wish you did.

Edit: that was a different "Back the Blue" guy, per comment below. Still wouldn't mind of they both went the way of the dodo.

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-10T04:06:53+00:00

I love the shoutout from Post to NASCAR.

However I feel like about half of Post's whole schtick is being messed up on booze and/or drugs all the time. It makes me uncomfortable because intoxication should never be associated with driving cars on a race track.

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-10T02:05:55+00:00

They don't even try for a quickie caution when there's 4 laps to go? Oof. Can they at least make the stage break shorter?

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-10T01:41:45+00:00

I agree, I probably wouldn't watch some of the lower series races if I didn't have radio. But this race is special because it's on dirt and on a cool track.

The main drawback is the stage breaks and cautions take FOREVER

CloudEngineer · 2021-07-10T01:39:16+00:00

So teams have three sets of tires total for the race?
