World of Outlaws and iRacing bring dirt racing to prime time

Iracing can't and will no way ever duplicate the sound, feel and smell of 20+ 900 horsepower race cars going by.

No one has said it will. But it’s a fun way to enjoy racing in the meantime.

I know no one said it will. That's just my opinion.

I joined last August and it is pretty awesome. Getting in an Indy car and turning laps at Charlotte is pretty mind numbing when you consider that is what it would be like. It is absolutely ludicrous and definitely gives one an appreciation for what these guys do.

In my case, all the dirt tracks have closed anywhere close around me. I have to drive 2 1/2- 3 hours to catch any dirt action. Will it ever completely replace my desire of seeing the real thing, absolutely not. But, when you can’t see it, it’s the next best thing.

McKinney and several others have been playing sim racing on dirt for years. I raced with Mike and RT20 a bunch on r factor when it was big on the dirt side, they both were (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) near unbeatable when they showed up in a random race. This was around 2009 or so. I'd love to have iracing, I just can't swing the cash right now to buy everything I need.

McKinney didn’t even make the A main in tonight’s vlr race taking 24 out of 60 guys... open setup races guys devote their lives to this. Testing all the time.

Driving a super late model in iRacing is quite difficult. Most people spend the first ten hours or so spinning around or puttering around the track slow. The fact that these guys did as well as they did is pretty awesome.
