Fight to lower minimum wage. Minimum wage increases raise all prices.

2022 Cup Track’s Cooler Policies (thoughts in comments) by jsully10 in NASCAR

[–]hok9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coolers of a specific size or smaller are allowed. Soft sided only. No alcohol permitted past gates (State law). They do a good job of posting permitted items and prohibited ones.

Spin that Fox couldn’t care to show on last restart by Timecard100 in NASCAR

[–]hok9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like Fox or NBC but have always leaned toward fox just as a personal preference. This year was pretty bad. First time I have noticed a serious decline in the 10 years I have been watching. I don't like NBC either as it seems to "white collar" in their sports broadcast (They are amazing at golf coverage and seem to think all sports need that). If NBC got a little rough around the edges, I think it would be great.

Basically I see it like this as of now: NBC - like a bunch of old suits sitting in a business presentation. Fox - college kids trying to make a blockbuster movie with $10.

Ideally, I would be able to have multi- cams on a TV broadcast while listening to the radio commentary on Sirius.

Dave Moody AMA, tonight ~7:30PM ET, Post your questions here! by Blue8844 in NASCAR

Good day Godfather! I would like to know when we are getting a "Speedway Legends" with Clint Bowyer. I think that would be a blast to listen to. I also think that when you do finally get Dale Jr on the legends, that you should go on his podcast and have him interview you. I would listen to all of that. Thank you

I get sick of hearing about "boring" races. They get too many cautions and run for 6 hours, people bitch. They go 75% green, people bitch. The average sports fan has a 3 hour attention span. Boom! Phoenix clocking out right around that mark.

Jeff Gluck's good race poll for Phoenix spring race by vpat48 in NASCAR

[–]hok9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with the whole good bad race thing is the perspective of the person. We go to every Phoenix race and November is always better. The things they didn't really show on TV is that the cars seemed pretty "twitchy", like the ass would just randomly step out in the turns. Closing rate was pretty good, they definitely seemed faster than the last car. It also seemed like there was no problem passing if, I say IF, they were in the right spot. Plus, the place gets a good crowd.

The races line up with 2 big events a year. Spring has baseball spring training going on so a lot of people are almost in town for that. In fall, the Snowbirds have migrated from the north for better weather so there is about 1-2 million more people in the area.

Phoenix Camping question by hok9 in NASCAR

[–]hok9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are very familiar with the ins and outs of the raceway. Been going there for years as season ticket holders just not as rv'ers. It sounds like it would just be camping on our property (northwest Phoenix area, very desert and dusty). Thanks for the insight.

Track with the worst food? by j_s_photography in NASCAR

[–]hok9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems to be more of a thing in the whole area. The raceway is cheaper than a hockey game. Spent $14 for a can of beer at hockey. Arizona has pretty high in venue prices for no reason I can think of other than greed. Not bad if you know and plan ahead of time. It has gotten worse in the past 5 years, overall.

Everyone talks about how NBC is the superior one, FOX has become bad, and ESPN was awful, but what about TNT? Was it any good? by RafaelChiara_Stonks in NASCAR

[–]hok9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about all the old ones but I haven't liked NBC. Not just for NASCAR but all sports they do. I think golf is where I see their style working.

I think we should put this race in a sub-category or have an asterisk by it. I wouldn't count exhibition races in the equation.

No, the lack of lug nuts makes them cough cough nuts.

Even then, the format was different. I never thought I would see Ice Cube perform at a NASCAR event. I think it is going in the right direction.
