    Nascar dirt race and new generation car.

    Nascar is trying some pretty ballsy things to revive the sport. And they say its helping. More road courses and some dirt racing. Less of the 1.5 mile ovals. Plus the next gen car is going to be better for the racing.

    They actually did a dirt race ! Cup cars on dirt at Bristol. They covered the concrete track with dirt. They've been talking about this but they finally did it 3 months ago. I'd to see the cars set up a little looser and going more sideways but they are still over steering

    Here's the new car.

    -composite body
    -rack and pinion steering
    -independent rear suspension
    -18 inch aluminum wheels
    -one nut hubs
    -ground effect with diffuser

    The bigger wheels and ground effects is similar to the changes F-1 is making.

    Nascar was on this weekend. Looked like a pretty good race. Some ppl bitch about the segmented format. But I think its good. Everyone out there going for broke.

    BriSCA (British Stock Car Association) had to look that up. No idea that was even a thing in Briton, and they use Chevy V8s. Very interesting.

    Yup. Same size as our local oval Aggasiz Speedway here in BC. Except we have far more bank. My dad raced a late model there

    I have no idea. It would be an accomplishment if Jaques Villenuev even finished the race

    Now we got a crash with 9 laps to go. Should be a good finish
