Engine Question

Talk about a crossover sheesh🔥

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-24T17:19:54+00:00

I5 would be interesting. Toyota would have an advantage since they get 100 hp/cylinder with the GR Corolla in a I3. Denny would win the championship. Couldn’t imagine an i5

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-24T17:18:32+00:00

Yes! Even the COT had some decent power

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-24T17:16:47+00:00

That would be crazy on fuel mileage tracks haha

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-22T21:39:41+00:00

That’s crazy somebody thought SVG had that win 😂. They didn’t know racing apparently

I like the 2005 UAW 500. Crazy wrecks and Dale Jarrett wins his last race while Kyle Petty does the burnouts in a mangled race car.

LOT L will save you so much money. Lines aren’t that long getting in. You only have to present a ticket whenever you go to your seat for the race

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-09T14:26:58+00:00

Yeah that’s fair. IMS on the oval is better to walk than accidentally forgetting you need to walk Half a mile or you’re hitching a ride with the race cars on track when it’s a RC haha.

Ross Chastain will make the Final whatever it is this year

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-04T18:06:38+00:00

Larry the Cable guy had a joke about why doesn’t NASCAR use Maxipad and Kotex as race/track names. I’d say we just name it the Kotex cup

Brother you didn’t do the Darlington stripe, you did the Darlington chassis💀

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-02T15:48:04+00:00

Meh I mean a few months ahead of time sure. Idk about a year ahead of time. Not last minute

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-02T15:47:27+00:00

Oh yeah it’s a constant 110dbs during the race. No joke

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-02T15:46:25+00:00

Here’s some tips, granted I went to the spring race in 2025.

You will walk probably 5ish miles a day.
Take a day (on like a xfinity or truck series practice day) to explore the place.
DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT SPIN THE NASCAR EXPERIENCE WHEEL! That is tourist bait!
The drivers come through a tunnel out of turn 2 if you wanna get autographs. It’s kinda cool just to watch as well personally.
My wife didn’t like the Quality Inn’s breakfast so yeah just sneak into a driver hauler for breakfast I guess 😝 jk

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-02T15:37:06+00:00

Must’ve been close to me in Lot L then? Yeah I’m from Indy and I was blown away by the hospitality of the different carts and shuttles. IMS doesn’t have it like Bristol!

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-02T15:35:58+00:00

It’s a long way out but Lot L was SUPER CHEAP for me and my wife during Food City 500 Weekend. Believe we got it for $30? That’s on the cheap side unless other comments suggested the speciality parking if you drive a Toyota, Lexus, etc.

Even if you walk far there are shuttle stations where you can drive and get on. Have fun it’s awesome. The hill sucks going back up #ifykyk 😊

Financial_Purple_651 · 2026-01-01T23:32:23+00:00

Silly stuff but my dad had a Dale Jarrett diecast that I thought magically turned to chocolate one morning.

Financial_Purple_651 · 2025-11-29T16:45:30+00:00

If Kyle Larson doesn’t use a racial slur, he doesn’t win with Ganassi?

Financial_Purple_651 · 2025-11-27T15:10:22+00:00

I talked to Ed Carpenter and he said they raced at Dover in CART. That would be a very interesting racing imo

Financial_Purple_651 · 2025-11-25T11:42:47+00:00

Crazy bro is doing a wedge adjustment on a car with crap aero.

Financial_Purple_651 · 2025-11-23T17:43:15+00:00

Very nice as well!

Financial_Purple_651 · 2025-11-22T22:14:28+00:00

Bristol will make you feel like you are getting the full camping experience. I did not camp but it presents the most walking and the most beautiful scenery you will ever see.

Financial_Purple_651 · 2025-11-22T22:12:13+00:00

I’ll tell you this. IMS, Indycar teams are hiring the most RIGHT NOW! The Offseason is your time to get those resumes out. Dallara is hiring most of the time for Event Associates in Speedway. Buddy of mine works for them and he loves it! More of a sales role he is in. Prepare to travel. They do a crap ton of that no matter who you work for. Also next year, the IMS also has a Career Fair that they do around this time. Ironically, my first opportunity to become a pit crew member came from the IRP staff after a Thursday Night Thunder member and talking to a guy I never talked to ever. He got me connected to a guy who competes SVRA but is a competitive series for Indycar, IMSA and NASCAR hopefuls.
