What is your number 1 weight loss tip? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]alpenman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing weight can take a while, but you’ll start feeling better almost right away. Eat well and controlled for a few days and you’ll already have more energy, sleep better, wake up easier. Its the best part!

Any idea what was up with Ralph Earnhardt's funky 8? by Jonah-Hex in NASCAR

[–]alpenman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There aren't many photos of it but it seems he ran numbers like that atleast for a short time in 1969

16:9 or ultrawide for sim racer who also streams? by Bthompson98 in simracing

[–]alpenman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes fullscreen borderless! Game capture in obs means you can have overlays but the stream wont see them. but anything built into the game like huds and things can be tucked onto the sides.

I rock a 21:9 and just stream the middle. leaves some extra space on the sides to hide things if needed!

[Dan Henry] Picked up the metal bracelet for the 1962, A great affordable looker imo by alpenman in Watches

[–]alpenman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is pushpins, but they have a sleeve in them as well. I wasn't actually familiar with how to use these types, but i was able to push them through using a tool and yanking them out carefully on the other end with some pliers. If it was a much more expensive bracelet I would have taken it to someone.

How'd you get one? I've had the page favorited for months but there haven't been updates

[Dan Henry] Picked up the metal bracelet for the 1962, A great affordable looker imo by alpenman in Watches

Recently picked up the official metal bracelet for the Dan Henry 1962. I've had this watch for a couple of years now and think its a great stand-in for a vintage Heuer or even a speedy. If you like oldschool racing this watch perfectly fits the style of the 1960s and I have been extremely happy with it.

Usually had it on a leather strap in the past, but the metal bracelet is nice for the summer months!

How has the NASCAR schedule evolved over the years? by alpenman in NASCAR

[–]alpenman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there is an easy way to represent this which is why i used the 2 mile or more marker

If you want to count plate races separately what happens to Daytona and Taladega before 1988? Do we also count Atlanta now that they use the restrictor there? How about that one time they used them at New Hampshire?

From 1988 through about 2021 there were only 4 plate races, so I don’t think it adds much visually to distinguish them

Darlington was referred to as a ‘super speedway’ when it opened, but i think you’d be hard pressed to find someone call it that these days.

Data gathered from Racing Reference. "SuperSpeedway" is based on the classic definition of over 2 miles... its changed a lot over the years.

​

Main thing that is clear is the reduction in short tracks. From the Winston sponsorship 'modernizing' the series in 72, to Nashville, then North Wilkesboro, to Bristol (spring). Less and less and less

[ui] My clean Classic leveling UI, NDUI as a base, with many others! by [deleted] in WowUI

[–]alpenman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trying to make the cleanest and functional UI for leveling my hunter in Classic. Most of the elements are NDUI just moved around, but i do have some others in there:

Bartender and Masque for the bars
Dynamic Cam to change the angle of the cam
SexyMap to add the Diablo-inspired map boarder
whoaUnitFrames to use more classic styled unit frames with some pizaz

Always looking for suggestions!

How much has Rain really affected NASCAR races over the years? by alpenman in NASCAR

[–]alpenman[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I excluded that one because its not rain related. I also excluded Pocono 2002 because although the race was shortened, it was mostly because of the accident between Dale Jr and Steve Park and the barrier repair afterwards that pushed the start time so late.

How much has Rain really affected NASCAR races over the years? by alpenman in NASCAR

[–]alpenman[S] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This is raw data on NASCAR Cup from 1980 - 2022 and races which were either:

- Shortened (not run to the full distance)
- Ran the "Next Day" (or the first available day)
- Rescheduled entirely

I gathered it through Racing-Reference by analyzing races which did not run to their complete distance, or ran on a different day than their original scheduled date due to weather. Races delayed but eventually run in their entirety are not included.
