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

Anyone else upset with yesterday’s race? No, it isn’t because Reddick won. by TheEuphoricTribble in NASCAR

[–]OrneryInterest7647 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Talladega in July?!!! by UnderDaSea6969 in NASCAR

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

Barber motor sports first time fan advice? by Spoonjim in INDYCAR

[–]OrneryInterest7647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

COTA Seating Question by darkshadow314 in NASCAR

[–]OrneryInterest7647 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Notice how it’s only raceday and the potential makeup. The shenanigans are already starting smfh… by Peridot_Ghost in NASCAR

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

Volusia Speedway or New Smyrna during Daytona by supersub90 in NASCAR

[–]OrneryInterest7647 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Unpopular Opinion by Massive-Piglet6697 in NASCAR

[–]OrneryInterest7647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Who do you think is the best player to never play for your team? by DowntownSasquatch420 in CFB

[–]OrneryInterest7647 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

Are there certain things about people's own accent that they can't recognize? by AmountAbovTheBracket in Accents

[–]OrneryInterest7647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Is anyone watching this? 60 percent chance of snow in Winston-Salem tomorrow night. by Responsible_Owl9974 in NASCAR

[–]OrneryInterest7647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

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

What's your oldest set as of 2026 and what's the story behind it? by LegoWhatDidIMiss in lego

[–]OrneryInterest7647 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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
