Dirty driving

[fastford]

Man, I hope not.

why not , it could be considered a safety factor , like fire suppression systems and full containment seats , and probably a lot cheaper......

[Mindwalker]

maybe its time for radio,s and spotters..........

Things are happening to fast that it wouldn't be much help or they'd already be using two way communication. Mirror's could be some help tho....

There is a fine line between cheek bone and low enough to break your neck in a crash.

It really isn’t that complicated.

I'd have to call that one a racing deal. Too much at stake to intentionally do that early in the race.

If it sits at your jaw while your neck is stretching during a wreck, your head will snap over it and break your neck. With the old school seats, we didn't hit anything. It was pretty simple. Now, it isn't.

You can bet your azz if I have to have a headrest, I want it high.

[mcarter815]

The only way your neck is stretching that much straight vertical is if you're upside down. Even then, that's a lot of stretch.

Anyone see Chris Madden run right in to Jason Jameson

I wonder if Jameson remembers the same deal at Florence with the D8???

Only it was the other way around!!!!

KARMA....

[CageFaraday]

Yep. You guys guessed it. Madden, while leading the WOO points, saw Jamison to his outside and then decided (out of blind hatred of Jamison) to turn into him and wreck both of them, tearing up both cars. He wanted to block him for 4th place on lap 15 of a 50 lap race and he was dying to finish 25th and lose all those points.....you guys should be FBI investigators.

Glad someone with some sense finally showed up. And thanks for the laugh.

Your body, your belts, you'd be surprised.

It’s basic physics. The normal force on the body in a frontal, side, or rear impact is at a downward angle because you are adding the downward pull of gravity to the lateral force coming from the impact.

[Hillbilly15]

No, I saw him try to pass Bloomer on the outside and didn't realize jameson was there!I don't think Madden is squeaky clean, but def not a dirty driver.

Madden is one of the dirtiest drivers out there just ask Devin moran

"It’s basic physics. The normal force on the body in a frontal, side, or rear impact is at a downward angle because you are adding the downward pull of gravity to the lateral force coming from the impact. "

Not sure what you are trying to say. The body wants to continue in the direction it was going prior to the car being impacted. What happens in a barrel roll? Or if you land on your roof? You can find some videos with crash dummies.

[mcarter815]

Look at the in-car views of the cars in NASCAR. All of them have the headrest below the visor, as it should be. When a car gets hit from the side, the driver doesn’t experience a direct force from the side. We are always feeling a constant downward force from gravity and forces combine in what’s called the normal force, which is what the driver experiences. The straight down pull of gravity combines with the straight lateral impact to sum to a downward angle normal force. That’s going to be the case for any impact with the car upright.

[mcarter815]

Once you throw on banking, the normal force is pulled even more downward in relation to the orientation of the car. What I'm getting at is that you won't see an upward stretch unless the driver is upside down.

Madden should have just let him by,it would have just been a matter of time before Jamison lost his rhythm again,then Madden could have drove back by him.
