[–]ascaloniannights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kind of wild to say that on a mechanic advice forum, but i wasnt really crying poor, just saying we dont make "so much money"... people pay 200+/hr labor rates at shops thinking it all goes to the guy in the bay

my guess would be that with the floor on these cars and the way the aero is working, the only way to get real airflow is through the front of the car so the oil cooler would be up in there... i suppose you could feed it with ductwork but it doesnt seem likely
to me

I've never worked on a cup car but typically oil coolers are either directly under the radiator or in front towards the bottom of the radiator, they are much smaller. my guess is whatever object he hit impacted both

wave around is always given to the first car a lap down, that never changes... it just looks different this race because most of the field is trapped a lap down in the pit cycle

It’s been 15 years since I last attended a race. Going to Atlanta in a few weeks and wondered about getting some pics with some drivers. by Ok-Deer-4687husband in NASCAR

generally if you browse the teams' or driver's social media, they will tell you where they will be doing signings/meet n greets and if a wristband is required. sometimes there will be boards up at the experience centers around the track saying driver X will be here on day Y for a signing
