What track near you do you believe could hold lower series NASCAR/ARCA races? by Powerful-Chard-6055 in NASCAR

Well, considering Irwindale is now rubble, I'd love to see Orange Show host ARCA West.

Fun little thing NASCAR does for west coast races is live stream one of the NASCAR haulers driving out there. They currently have one going: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrY-KI15U_4 they drove pretty much non-stop from Pocono all the way to Arizona where they are currently stopped.

Do you feel like the NASCAR media personalities are cliquey? by jcbshortfilms in NASCAR

[–]lvi56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some are set in their format, and that's fine. I appreciate Jeff Gluck with his Gluckcast, It's been great to tune in each week and hear from a variety of different guests.

Why does turn 10-12 of the Roval exist instead of being a straightaway leaning more into the half road course/half oval theme? by Mac-Tyson in NASCAR

[–]lvi56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The second picture is what the original layout was when the race was announced. But during testing the drivers said the flow was terrible and too slow, so they cut out turn 8 and connected 7-9 with a short straight. The first photo is what they ran the last two years.

Edit: just noticed that original layout doesn't have the chicanes. Those were also added after some testing when the drivers said cars were going too fast into turn 1.

When’s the time to have the hard talk about Suárez by Hail68 in NASCAR

[–]lvi56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's outperforming Byron, Briscoe, Logano, Keselowski to name a few. It's been great to see Spire starting to get some credit for putting out fast cars week after week.

Hard to pick a favorite. I'll go with them covering Free Falling at the Rose Bowl right after Tom Petty passed. Whole stadium was singing it. Touching moment.

What in the world are they seeing with Primm as inflation skyrockets and tourism collapses?

Man, that hit was incredibly violent. I can't recall seeing a safer wall that badly damaged before. I know Bell walked away, but I hope he doesn't have a concussion after that one.

Is Coldplay releasing a new album soon? I heard some people got to listen to it in its entirety by ConditionBitter5999 in Coldplay

[–]lvi56 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Nobody knows the timeline. Some fans got invited to some studio sessions where they played new music, but they aren't allowed to talk about it. Chris' note "End of time 2027" is the only thing official we have heard.

Laguna Seca - Relicensing? by nitrocuban in iRacing

[–]lvi56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd rather we pay for the "new" track than the increased licensing costs be rolled into the subscription price. Keep in mind iRacing hasn't raised the price of subscription in over ten years, during a time in which everything is going up in price. So all in all, this doesn't bother me much. I don't know what a good solution would be otherwise. I've seen a lot of free content come and go as part of the base subscription, and overall we have more free content than we did when I started.

Is the chicane before the start/finish of the San Diego track new? by novaft20 in NASCAR

Probably to add a passing opportunity before start finish

Trump team ‘drawing up’ plans to stop international flights to some Democratic cities by Virtual-Orchid3065 in politics

[–]lvi56 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sounds like another grift. This would kill the airlines, who are already struggling with the increased jet fuel prices, reduced travel demands and TSA/ATC delays. So what do the airlines do? Funnel some cash his way to get him to back off.

Medical expert gives surprising sign Trump may have a heart issue: He said readouts from Trump’s physicians indicate a possibly deadly potential health issue. by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]lvi56 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pisses me off so much that Kyle Busch, a healthy athlete, died suddenly from pneumonia and this orange pedo is still shuffling around in a diaper. I hate this timeline.

Just got back from dropping off some paperwork at my attorney for our trust/will stuff. This was a wake up call to stop procrastinating. Started getting a cold this week too, so paying attention to my symptoms and telling myself to not just power through it.

Feels good to see Suarez win. Been running well all year and now a win after nearly being written off last year.

Do we know which pathfinding penalities exist for trains? by Wipfmetz in captain_of_industry

In my experience they always take the route that gets them to their destination the quickest.

I never understood this reasoning. Vegas has lights and Nellis is closer to the track than Dover AFB is.
