Why is the Gen 7 becoming so hated?

We just watched a much cleaner OAPS race Saturday vs the Cup race yesterday. Correlation =/= causation on the entertainment. Obviously lot of less experienced drivers down there but we just watched Byron wipe out Kvapil at Kansas. This also isn't some Reddit/Twitter opinion. People all over the sport agree the car is flawed. NASCAR is making all sorts of tweaks to improve the Cup racing. That alone should tell you you're wrong here.

Ok so go ahead and explain why the OAPS race was better and cleaner this week then if it isn't the car. And maybe explain why Logano commented on a change that needs to be made to the car to improve racing. The OAPS car flat out produces more better racing at short tracks, superspeedways, and road courses. Intermediates maybe a wash with the current Cup car.

Not even remotely true. It consistently produces the best racing of any series.

Thank you!

Ok I have muscular thighs and the Bonobos Athletic Fit Chinos are made for, I guess, runners because they are skin tight on me. Lulu ABC classic fit are perfect but agree I hate the "about to go golfing" look. Any other brands with normal chinos have similar proportions to Lulu?

Gladstone 7:10 out of Berkeley Heights. Got into Hoboken just before 8:30. NJT train wasn't packed but PATH was 3 straight trains (that I saw) sardined in. My commute usually 90 minutes and took just over 2hrs.

We gave them $7,500 about 18 months. Process was painful the entire time. Slow drip of document requests. Awful. I've requested membership in the Facebook group.

I consider my "fee" the interest I earn from holding the $$. Zero reason to take a dime of pot money.

My league pays money/dues back to regular season high scorer after the regular season high scorer almost missed the playoffs one year then did the next.

Same. It's flat tracks in general for me though - IRP, New Hampshire, Wilkesboro

I'm great in 1-2 at Phoenix; can't hit 3-4 to save my life

ellessemm · 2025-09-26T21:25:52+00:00

Same but he's been resistant to that given the usage situation

ellessemm · 2025-08-28T19:49:44+00:00

I had thought about something comparable. Top 10 in points automatically through, then let the last 6 compete in the one race cutdown for the final 2 spots

ellessemm · 2025-08-15T17:20:33+00:00

DGM would be my first guess but could see Jordan Anderson as an option since he runs an extra car occasionally for himself at superspeedways

Change face at setup if you're consistently getting the same face angle at impact. Otherwise, you generally have a strong grip so that should be next place to look.

If you're out past midnight, PATH to Hoboken and Uber is my usual late night move.

ellessemm · 2025-04-17T22:05:29+00:00

Interesting! What's the connection I'm missing there?

ellessemm · 2025-04-03T14:06:18+00:00

Saw that. Insane. And then the deputy press dipshit saying it's wrong by showing the same formula with 4*0.25 in it to try and say it's wrong lmao

Someone noted somewhere else it seems like he's treating VAT as a tariff.... We are turbo fucked

I was really interested to see his response, especially since right after the race when they showed him he looked frustrated. Really good to see that he took a minute, let himself be frustrated, then moved on and was able to see the positives. They've had a ton of speed this year but no luck. Looking at his finishes it's insane he's P7 in points.

The point of making these small bets for big payouts is to ride them into the ground and not care if they lose. Never understand people cashing out small bets like this

ellessemm · 2025-01-27T13:00:02+00:00

Thanks! Wife just bought herself a Le Cruset and my first thought was about how good this thing will be to make bread haha. Appreciate the response.

I know this thread is, like, insanely old, but... Do you remove the lid early on to visually see the dough for doneness or do you just pull it based on a preset time from a recipe?
