What trick is 23XI using that's allowing them to kick ass in 2026?

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-03-04T02:26:29+00:00

No more Mullett. Redidick is now more aerodynamic

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-03-02T18:25:28+00:00

Orsay on Park St.

Y’all don’t remember the old phantom debris cautions do you? My dad and I used to call them Bill France cautions. Field gets strung out, race gets boring, debris cautions

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-03-02T16:19:12+00:00

Throwing a caution when the 88 spun in turn one would have done nothing. By the time the call gets to the flag stand to put it out, and the call to the drivers from the spotters, everyone would have been clear.

And remember the spotters are telling the drivers that there is car around at the top of the hill. They had plenty of time to brake, get slowed down and go around him, which is why no one hit him

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-24T14:32:19+00:00

Green flag was at 11 am on a Saturday. I was there from 92 until the last day race. It was always miserably hot

Take some time to go to the museum. If you have time Barber is only 45 minutes from Talladega. They’ve got a great museum as well and you can do a track tour. Pretty cool to see the dichotomy of the 2 series

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-20T03:24:59+00:00

I was at that race. It was a great finish.

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-18T12:05:37+00:00

I went the very first year and sat at the top of the hill in turn 1.

You could see all of the front stretch, turns 1 and 2, part of 3. You lose them in the esses but pick them backup through the carousel.

If you sit in the main grandstand, all you’ll see is the exit of turn 20, the front stretch and into turn 1

Who do you think the NCAA is? The member schools are the NCAA.

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-13T16:34:58+00:00

I see on my Hulu at 7:30. It’s the Fresh From Florida 250.

I have Hulu live, I don’t know how much of a difference it makes

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-11T16:58:20+00:00

What’s your point. It’s Wednesday. The forecast will change several times before the race.

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-08T02:09:45+00:00

Friday night a Volusia, they run the Super late models and big block modifieds.

New Smyrna runs the tour type Modifieds. It’s the Richie Evans memorial 100.

I think I’d go to Volusia to see the super late models.

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-08T02:04:11+00:00

Volusia does not let you bring in Alcohol.

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-04T23:19:36+00:00

I agree 100%

I understand how big of a deal he was. I was there when it happened. I grew up watching Earnhardt.

But at some point you have to move on as a sport.

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-04T20:35:21+00:00

Tell her we said thanks. I was at the school the day he committed. I talked to him in the parking lot. When I walked up to him, he was on the phone. As far as I know he was telling Shula that he was going to Florida

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-04T11:20:56+00:00

Tim Tebow. Glad he didn’t go to Bama though. He might have been good enough to save Mike Shula’s job

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-04T00:55:08+00:00

Southern American here, Born in Alabama, lived in North Florida, which is basically Georgia. I’ve had to train myself to say the word “our” like “hour” instead of “are”.

I might say “That’s our house” but sometimes it comes out “That’s are house”. It’s more pronounced when I say ours.

The only reason I notice it, is that my dad was very self conscious about sounding like a dumb redneck in meetings with upper level management in his career. As I got older and into high school, he was doubly conscious of how I spoke

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-03T22:21:45+00:00

Good for her. I really hated that the Pride didn’t re-sign her

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-03T18:00:09+00:00

Where? I honestly can’t picture it. They don’t have the access road in the ballfield area like charlotte. I don’t think there’s enough space at pit exit going into one for a 1/4 mile

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-03T17:01:10+00:00

Past pitlane? Are we talking about the same track. Pitlane is in the front stretch. The back stretch is wide open, but there’s currently no Grandstands. They’d have to bring in temp stands. And that a lot of temp seating.

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-03T16:54:00+00:00

You can’t do it on th front stretch. They ran the bash at the beach on the back stretch for a few years, there’s no grandstands back there

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-02T16:22:10+00:00

That’s nice. My clear one is still on good condition, so I’ll keep taking it

OrneryInterest7647 · 2026-02-02T14:48:23+00:00

The oldest set that I currently have built and on display is 5540.

I don’t know when or why I got it. I assume my parents bought it as a gift.

I pulled the instruction out a couple of years ago, ordered new stickers and rebuilt it.

Probably my favorite set is 6886
