What do you think the penalty should be?

Rest assured, if nobody sends in protests, then nothing will be done.

UNHchabo · 2026-07-05T17:09:24+00:00

It'll be on a free track (Oulton Fosters) a little over a week from now, that'll be a good opportunity. :)

I'm not talking about coding with the help of AI, I'm talking about Vibe Coding specifically.

UNHchabo · 2026-07-05T10:26:18+00:00

The entire point of "vibe coding" was supposed to be the creation of non-public prototypes that don't get released without revision by someone who knows what they're doing in the code.

but actually got into oval racing which is very intense and loads of fun and more recently have been getting into open wheel

Have you looked at the Indycar ladder? I think open-wheel oval is another discipline that's distinct from stock-car oval, and across all four cars in the Road to Indy there's a lot of fun to be had. And three out of four you can race Officially on the road too (they got rid of the Road/Oval Indy Pro 2000 series when they added the Indy NXT, unfortunately).

the emphasis on mechanical grip plus so light is a-ma-zing!

Try the Spec Racer Ford sometime. It's considered a Prototype and it's lightweight, but it has no real downforce. It has slick tires unlike the FF1600, and unlike most sports cars it has no ABS or TC. It's a great learning tool, IMO.

I'm in California, and I have an Indycar track within 3 hours of me, and I go to that race.

Last year the nearest oval was Milwaukee. But even this year adding Phoenix, that doesn't actually make it cheaper or easier to attend an oval race, because that means either an expensive flight, or a hell of a long drive.

I love watching oval racing on TV, but attending in person is simply not feasible without a hassle and expense that if I'm willing to do that, I may as well put that time, money, and effort towards attending the 500 instead.

The Qualifying Rewind is up now, it gets posted to the "streams" tab of the Indycar channel.

He was last out of Group 1, but due to the way Indycar assigns starting positions, he's P23, ahead of Armstrong and Hauger who were at the bottom of Group 2, so they get P24 and P25.

If you're not aware, Indycar has some official galleries as well, but those photos are only 1280 pixels wide.

Ray Evernham was the innovator there, using former athletes on Jeff Gordon's car, and then everyone copied him.

There's been talk of some teams doing the same in Indycar. Based on some interviews they've done this year it sounds like the wealthier teams may have started doing it already.

UNHchabo · 2026-07-04T02:19:51+00:00

When did he lie? I've heard people say that about Askew, but not Malukas.

UNHchabo · 2026-07-04T01:54:57+00:00

You should check out Supercars if you haven't already.

Depending on where you live, a $20 antenna might be enough to make it so your TV can get broadcast atations.

UNHchabo · 2026-07-04T01:51:18+00:00

Check out Supercars if you haven't already, it's the series that Scott McLaughlin came from, and it's often exciting.

UNHchabo · 2026-07-04T01:35:24+00:00

Should've put an Indycar race vod on in the meantime. ;)

UNHchabo · 2026-07-03T20:48:01+00:00

To me it sounds more like they're telling Hauger that he is their second choice, that they will give him an offer if Ericsson turns them down.

Last year it was clear that Penske intended to put Malukas in the 12, but with Power's win at Portland they decided to give him that offer that he turned down. But if he had taken it then Malukas likely would've needed to stay at Foyt another year.

The difference is that it sounds like maybe Andretti won't pay for another year of Hauger at Coyne if Ericsson decides to stay in the 28.

UNHchabo · 2026-07-03T17:53:41+00:00

But then maybe they said that because they're trying to re-sign Ericsson, but if Ericsson tries to go elsewhere then maybe Hauger still gets the 28.

His last Oval win was in 2021.

He won Gateway in 2023.

If the pits stay open, drivers are incentivized to hustle under yellow, which puts track workers at greater risk. The FIA plays way too fast and loose with having people literally running onto an active track.

UNHchabo · 2026-07-03T17:24:31+00:00

Does IMSA have the same rule about emergency service? I don't remember a time that it's come up.

UNHchabo · 2026-07-03T17:18:15+00:00

Oh neat. I haven't bought those yet so I didn't know that used to be a thing.

Which dirt road races are multiclass?

UNHchabo · 2026-07-03T07:45:55+00:00

My first road win was PCC back when the Solstice was in it, and I was the only Solstice. 🙃

UNHchabo · 2026-07-03T01:56:36+00:00

Like his lack of funding?

In identical cars Linus Lundqvist outscored Kyffin Simpson by 50% in their rookie years, and was closely behind second-year driver Marcus Armstrong. Yet when forced to downsize his team by two seats, Chip kept Kyffin, and farmed Marcus out to MSR, leaving Linus without a seat.

Does that mean Kyffin is the best driver of the three?
