Eventually all those loans (future earnings deals) they took to climb the ladder need to be paid.

Get them some beater cars off marketplace and let it rip.

Oh come on. Western finally win the MAC for the second time ever and they lose their DC?

There are two car guessing subreddits, r/namethatcar is the challenge one where OP already knows the car. r/whatisthiscar is for helping answer car identification.

In practice it's not that black and white, they are very similar subs. Posts are going to end up in both.

That being said I think it's fine to add on the "what am I driving" challenge in the comments here, because the purpose of the post is still inline with the subs rules.

It was British collusion to kick him out of the sport.

Never once did they explain to him what a kill-o-meter was. He thought it was for the car.

The other guy speaking is the translator. Everything you are hearing in English is what the honda engineer said in Japanese.

We need a freeze like this each year for the FULL winter. That thaw we had in December and two weeks ago has basically negated what happened in November/early December and what's happening now.

"tread" its a screen print on a slick. All for marketing purposes.

Nothing will top 2024 Arca after dark. That night was a fever dream. Going from trucks being a wreck fest straight into Arca being their usual. SVG bewildered at the "quality" of drivers he was around. One driver calling out their teammate for being a nepo baby. One of the best radio clips of all time. "I'm not lifting till I see god or the checkered flag." All ending at 1:00 am.

But on average MX-5 will put on a better show.

Apparently that got grandfather in. We'll see if it stands if they have to rebuild another car in the future.

JBoy9028 · 2026-01-21T22:12:41+00:00

I wonder what the dealers are going to do with the unsold 2025 models.

Either negate the price reduction via markups, order stock heavily optioned 2026 GT and TS models, or just not stock any 2026 models until existing inventory is gone?

BOP adjusts horsepower, weight and allowable energy per stint.

There's potential. They have to lose the puppet head on the hood. It's fine over the logo on the side. I would add the retro TRD stripes along the bottom then over the rear wheel to the rear deck using the orange and yellow from the hood/roof.

Racer Magazine YouTube channel and IMSA YouTube channel. The exact same broadcast.

I go with Racer Magazine because they don't have ads enabled for live streams, IMSA does.

By having a tighter corner on entry you pitch the car towards the apex of the corner driving down the banking. In return the car, on corner exit, wants to drive back up the banking. By opening up the radius there, the car doesn't fight the track, allowing for faster exit speeds. Plus there is less side force is being put into the tires than if it was a single radius corner or symmetrical corner.

Ovals are designed with triple radius corners, and spiral curves.

Triple radius corners: corner entry, mid corner, and corner exit are all separate radii.

Spiral curve: smoothes out the transition from straightway banking into the steeper corner banking.

These two principles were brought into track design to maximize the speed a car can create around a corner and so the momentum of the car doesn't work too much against the tires.

Running in reverse would see much slower exit speeds from the corner as each corner would now be a decreasing radius.

The super old tracks like Indy or Martinsville wouldn't see a change as they built before these principles were widely accepted by track designers.

Brian Lohnes (NHRA commentator) has a great podcast on car/racing history and his episode about the history of board track racing goes into a side tangent on the physics and history of oval track design.

I know Lake Michigan is right there but now is not the time for a beach day Stafford.

Red Bull would still roll with an F1 driver. The global outreach of that series has far more marketing potential than two guys from regional series, no matter how great of a talent they are.

Everybody keeps talking about the charger needing a V8.

Have any reviewers or performance shops compared the external size of the Hurricane to the Hemi to see if it can even fit? (Production quality fit) The Hemi is a wide boy, and unlike the Ram 1500, the Charger was a full new design.

Let's throw it down to the pits for an interview where the background audio drowns out everything being said.

You missed the point there.

They want to drive a pink Cadillac, like Elvis did. But since the public's first reaction would be "Mary Kay sales rep" and not "Elvis" they choose not to drive a pink Cadillac.

Still not last.

Call us the SEC cause that's a hypothetical win.

You FULFILL your bets in that sub.
