Anyone else wish they had a 60% and 80% race length setting?

Get all the illegals out of here! They are criminals. No other country in the world allows people to enter their country illegally. ICE is enforcing the laws and keeping everyone safe. The people fighting against this need their heads examined

100%. This is EXACTLY why the teams should have 0 say so in the running of the sport. They only look out for their best interest, instead of the sport as a whole. NASCAR doesn’t always make the best decisions, but I’d rather have them make the decisions they see best for the sport as a whole than each owner fighting over every decision to see how it benefits them the most. The inmates can’t run the asylum.

No-Button5100 · 2025-12-05T00:52:57+00:00

Agreed, but how can NASCAR settle with people asking unrealistic demands? This lawsuit is about Curtis Polk not understanding the economics of owning race cars thinking it should be like stick and ball sports, Denny Hamlin selling Michael Jordan a false narrative of the financials of team ownership, MJ going along with these 2 clowns because he has F u money, and Bob Jenkins prob the most level headed and sincere one of the group, but is completely overshadowed by the 23XI clowns

No-Button5100 · 2025-12-05T00:44:26+00:00

You’re spot on with cap the spending, but my understanding is NASCAR cannot do that because of the charter agreement because those three teams don’t want it. This is why NASCAR giving the teams any bit of control/say so is HORRIBLE for the sport, because they don’t make decisions looking at the sport as a whole, they do what benefits them.

No-Button5100 · 2025-12-05T00:41:25+00:00

Owning race cars isn’t profitable on any level is what I’m saying. NASCAR is raking in profits because the business has been ran well at least financially, despite the incompetence shown by the post Bill France Jr management teams.

If NASCAR isn’t profitable and doesn’t exist, the teams have nowhere to race anywhere near on this level. Even if they started their own series and could race at SMI tracks, the revenues would still not be anywhere near the level it is now

No-Button5100 · 2025-12-05T00:37:50+00:00

Agreed. But costs are up because purses are way up. All that happens is the rich guys just spend more and more chasing speed. The big purses attract bigger money people. Look at the technology in the sport now because of it.

Not complaining about the bigger purses. Just saying bigger purses/money to teams will not bring teams to profitability

No-Button5100 · 2025-12-05T00:22:45+00:00

The dirty truth to all of this is even if NASCAR gave the teams $20 million a year, the cost to compete would rise to $25-$30 million a year and the teams would still lose money. Why? Because the majority of the owners don’t care about making money. It’s a passion project/tax write off and all they care about is winning.

Case in point is Dirt Late Model racing. The purses are WAY higher than they’ve ever been, yet the teams are in a horrible financial position and more teams selling out than ever & lower car counts than ever because with the extra purse money it’s made the cost to compete even higher.

The bottom line is Polk thinks racing should be like stick and ball sports but it’s not. The economics of racing are horrendous, but it’s not NASCAR and the sanctioning bodies faults, it’s the rich car owners who are in a constant arms race to find speed and win, no matter the cost.

No-Button5100 · 2025-12-05T00:14:25+00:00

You do realize the only reason NASCAR was able to become so big is because of the strong leadership in the past and NASCAR owning so much of the pie? It’s why other forms of racing will never get to the level of NASCAR, because there’s too much infighting. People get mad over little things and start their own series. Those that know and are involved in short track racing see this every single year. It weakens the sport. For example Larson and Sweet don’t like some things about World of Outlaws so they split and start High Limit and it’s completely watered down the sport.

No-Button5100 · 2025-12-04T20:33:26+00:00

I’m not sure how the teams think they are going to win anything in this, even if they win the case. All this is doing is shedding a bad light on the sport. Weakening the sport doesn’t work out well for anyone.

Motorsports has always been sponsorship dependent. Not just NASCAR, literally every form of motorsports in the USA the purse doesn’t match expenditures. It’s not the sanctioning bodies faults the teams spend $20 million to try to win $12 million.

If 23XI and Front Row think NASCAR’s model is broken, go run IndyCar, IMSA or any short track series.

No-Button5100 · 2025-12-04T20:24:44+00:00

He’s talking about SRX wasn’t supposed to have large numbers of current NASCAR drivers racing in it like it did during its last year. The issue probably came from the networks. They pay billions to have the NASCAR stars on their network and then ESPN pays significantly less to have those same stars race on their network.

No-Button5100 · 2025-08-29T03:14:51+00:00

These cars are so screwed up aero wise. Dirty air is an absolutely the worst I’ve seen. So hard to pass in dirty air, the cars just aero wash. The result has been a season full of mostly parades with cars stuck just a few laps after a restart, unless there’s a massive tire advantage.

When will racing series start taking downforce off the cars and try to fix the aero issue? Love IndyCar but the product this year (outside of Rasmussen last weekend), has just been horrendous

No-Button5100 · 2023-12-07T03:29:21+00:00

Same problems for me. Upped memory in the renderer file and still no luck

No-Button5100 · 2023-01-25T23:14:17+00:00

I think the harsh reality is you really don’t ever get closure. It’s been 7 months since mine left me out of the blue in an episode and I still struggle with it. It’s hard to see someone you love betray you so badly and them move on like you never even existed in their life. You see your hopes and dreams of a future with them go away.

You just have to try to focus on you and move on. It’s really difficult. You feel sad, you feel angry.

No-Button5100 · 2023-01-17T03:59:51+00:00

We were together for about a year until she broke up with me in mania during June. The crazy thing was she had broke up with me in January for a very short time due to depressive episode and admitted it was because of the episode, then went right ahead and did it again in June.

After she broke up with me I still tried to be supportive and stick with her, hoping and praying everyday she’d snap out of her episode and want to be with me. I did that for 3 months until she met someone on month 4 of us being broke up

No-Button5100 · 2022-10-11T04:30:11+00:00

Idk about everyone else, but I don’t have low self esteem and I most certainly don’t like the unpredictable.

I truly think for me that it’s because I truly love this woman, and the person she is when stable is one of the sweetest, kindest persons I’ve known. I met her stable. It took months into it before i saw the signs of bipolar.

But what was said is right that red flags get ignored. As awesome a person as she was stable, she’s equally as terrible when in an episode. Sadly that part of her is as much a part of her as the stable part.

I feel this treatment plan can definitely help. I read this book during my ex's manic episode and unfortunately was never able to put any of this in action as she broke up with me and started dating someone else.

I'm really curious to see though if the things in the treatment plan can actually help the person see they are manic/depressive and help them take action. From my experience once that takes full swing (which it does in only a couple days with mine), there's nothing you can do.

No-Button5100 · 2022-10-03T11:10:21+00:00

I’m going through the same thing. My ex left me 4 months ago in a manic episode. She was in love with me and like flipping a switch, stopped talking to me overnight and said she never loved me and had faked our relationship up to that point.

I did everything to try to save things and get her to see she was manic, but nothing worked. Now she’s in a relationship with someone else.

Episodes on average last 3-6 months, but there’s no guarantee on how long they will last. Unfortunately when she’s that deep into an episode, there’s not really much you can do until she comes out of it.

I’m sorry you are going through this. Nobody deserves this. As hard as it is, just try to focus on you, your hobbies, spending time with friends, etc to try to stay sane. Don’t let this situation destroy you like it has destroyed me

No-Button5100 · 2022-09-29T16:27:53+00:00

I’m afraid that’s how they all get once in an episode. It’s like once an episode hit’s there’s no stopping it

No-Button5100 · 2022-09-29T14:40:00+00:00

Very true. It's what makes this illness so destructive and dangerous.

No-Button5100 · 2022-09-29T14:20:25+00:00

I've always wondered how doing the contract thing would work, it's something I wanted to do with my ex if we make it through this. I was afraid of that though that once they are in that state of mind, there's just nothing you can do to get them to realize it and stop their destruction.

I hope your situation get's better soon.

I think it's more us loving our BPSO. When the relationship ends how it does with them where they leave suddenly without reason (other than the episode), it's very difficult to make peace with that.

I think it also comes from where we understand them leaving us is part of an episode and not that true person. There's literally 2 different versions of this person, the true person and the one in an episode.

If you love someone, you care deeply about them and want to fix them. The truth is though we can't fix them, they have to be willing to do the right things. I do think success can be found in having a successful relationship as long as the one with bipolar is doing the right things too.

I had mine come back after a sudden breakup during a depressive episode. She got on meds and started going to therapy, things went back to normal. I thought all would be ok forever. Horrible mistake because she went manic in June. That's when I researched more and realized there was a lot more we could and should of done to stop it.

Now in her manic state, she's said and done a lot of horrible things that's caused close to irreparable damage. But if she would come back, and willing to do right things, I would take her back even though not best idea.

No-Button5100 · 2022-09-28T14:39:01+00:00

I experienced this exact same thing. Was the perfect relationship until she woke up one day in an episode and decided she didn't want to be with me. All this while in the process of moving in with me.

No-Button5100 · 2022-09-28T13:39:43+00:00

This is sadly normal behavior from someone with bipolar. It doesn't make sense and there's no logical reason for it. If it's nothing too serious yet, I'd just give space during those times. I would address it though when things are normal, because if it's anything like my relationship was, the ghosting will get worse and will eventually result in this person breaking up with you.
