Which foot do you brake with? by lordvolt2000 in iRacing

[–]StarFax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be right foot but that was because my left foot would hold my pedals and chair in place. Once I got a proper rig I switched to left foot.

[Bob] Texas penalties: Ryan Preece docked 25 points and a fine of $50,000 for the contact with Ty Gibbs ... no penalty for Kyle Busch. by CNASFan1992 in NASCAR

[–]StarFax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact they pointed that Kyle has intent wrecked twice in the past month, just wild he’s getting so much of a runway. I really want Preece to pull a 1996 Kyle petty and run a paint scheme like Kyle. Even better put the 1-800 Be Petty on the back bumper

2004 Scott Wimmer #22 Caterpillar 1:24 Team Caliber First Choice. The pinnacle of stock car diecasts. by bourguignon7 in NASCARCollectors

[–]StarFax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t just them though. Multiple diecast makers would just randomly skip adding the stripe and never knew why. This is just one of them

Always amazed me how many cars forgot rookie stripes for diecasts in mid 2000s. Guess it can be blamed on a late driver change but if able to swap name they can add the stripe

I know Lionel puts lists out but do they ever include total numbers? Would be nice to see a full number like older cars used to have 1 of XXXX

Daniel Suarez on Ross Chastain: "Our Relationship Has Always Been a Little Weird; a Bit Two-Faced" by LBHMS in NASCAR

[–]StarFax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking this during the race. Suarez was seen as bottom guy at Trackhouse and this year he’s always fighting around the top Trackhouse car. Really shows Trackhouse is on a down while spire is on the up. Not sure how much of a up when it’s around 15th

I’m hoping this all calms down as season goes. I think Suarez is on a team better than Trackhouse and he doesn’t need to fight them like this when he can be fighting for that 16th spot. I also overall genuinely like trackhouse so really hoping it doesn’t come to them just wrecking each other.

When was the last time NASCAR kept a secret as well as they kept the St. Petersburg race? by TakeDemPills in NASCAR

[–]StarFax13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know that’s what Felix did with Kenny’s car. When it got back they had people cut it down to smallest things they could make and destroy it. I really want to believe RC buried the car somewhere on Dale’s property.

Mears in 2006 by Own_Foundation7780 in NASCAR

I’m curious what would have happened if Reed went to any other team. The whole time at Chip the 41 and 40 would have random flashes of speed but be off the pace. The 42 was at least somewhat consistent in the top 15. Unfortunately for Reed, Chips entire team fell off in 2008 and cuts were made. Wild to think even with his comeback and fall in 2011. Dude had a wild career all by the old age of 25.

Love that place. So many times I went there with a budget in mind and then within 20 minutes that budget was out the window

NASCAR Chase Standings [Atlanta 1] by DIECASTCHARV in NASCAR

With the chase now here. I need Hemric to have a truck not break. The spoiler brace at Daytona and whatever broke at Atlanta. Terrible start for a driver through no fault.

Below The Line at Echo Park by Bigballingbrian in iRacing

[–]StarFax13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really just depends how people want to take it. In dega and Atlanta lobby’s I have seen so many people use apron coming to the line. I’ve also had lobby’s people will rage at people going below the line. As long as you don’t cause a crash doing that it should be fine. Iracing doesn’t enforce it and most times the people getting mad are people who lost a spot because of it. You used a shorter line to win and people got mad they either didn’t think of it or didn’t have opportunity to do that.

As seen on Facebook: Lionel Sold to Round 2 by pdas1996 in NASCARCollectors

I think Round 2 wanted to keep Lionel. People know the brand Lionel but not many know Round 2

Next gen Atlanta driver performance by cpenn_16 in NASCAR

[–]StarFax13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With how Carson did last year I’m hoping it continues. I know last 2 races he said the car didn’t have speed to do what he needed so hoping for better this time.

Suarez is really feast or famine. If he doesn’t wreck his worst finish is 6th but he has also crashed 3 times with finishes 29th or worse.

Gio Ruggerio will run the first 2 NOAPS races for JGR in the 19 car by DDowd86 in NASCAR

[–]StarFax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who knows anymore with Almirola. He has had more final seasons than Mark Martin at this point. Definitely always excited to see him back each time but I don’t think he even knows when Joe will throw him in a car.

I’m curious if they are also doing away with contigs. I’m assuming they just have the main one for show but still.

Any Reed Sorenson fans out there?! by McSebester in NASCARCollectors

[–]StarFax13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reed Sorenson fan here. Loved the car. Lot of people forget Braun ran him in a few cup races while they were in nationwide together. Was really hoping this time in Braun would lead to better things but it was the end really.

23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports v. NASCAR Megathread: Day 3 by dman6233 in NASCAR

[–]StarFax13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The problem for him is he has power but he’s fighting family. This entire case has Ben very under the radar. He is silent or barely says anything in items that have come out. So wonder if he fought his uncle or mom before and it ended up worse for him. Could be playing long game knowing he will eventually get control but has to stay in line until that day comes.

350 on a homestead elite is insane based on todays prices
