WoO testing at Bristol tonight

I'd rather be an idiot with a sack then one without... 🤓

Thats because all the teams standing around have bought cars and parts from Rocket to allow them to have computers, work table and dyno.

Monkey in a Rocket win, monkey buy Rocket.

They had a table, laptop and shock dyno out. I'd venture to guess 99% of all late model teams have those items in their hauler.

To fast? You have to be kidding me, racing is about going fast.

And if a track is bad fast with one groove, it’s the same as a rubbered up track. Boring.

What good is it sitting in the hauler and not down on pit lane where the cars are parked and worked on

What an idiot

What an idiot

Said no one ever...

I didn't see anyone else with it set up pit side last night.

Any True Racer would love the challenge of running Bristol. However , not all can get the time off from work to run Bristol. I would love to have my Mod on the track. Today race cars are built to be as safe as possible. I expect the races to be quite safe for the drivers.

Rocket 1 team had data acquisition on the house car. Had some pretty crazy load numbers.

I think something that people don't get sometimes is that when a track gets that fast, most of the time, its only that fast in one line around the track, so to keep up you have to race that line, but you can't pass. I've seen this a lot at Tazewell over the years.
I hope I'm wrong. I hope there's 2 good fast grooves where better cars can pass.
As important as aero is in Late Models these days, I do wonder if the cars will get so tight in traffic that they can't pass.

It might be different this year at Tazwell they have new clay they think the track record will fall it is 10.9 when John Thompson ran it I have seen them 2 an 3 wide many times maybe we can get back there.

Tazewell can be a real racy track, if a black streak doesn't set up in the high groove.

Maybe the new clay can be worked a bit deeper to minimize this.

They need to take a rock hound around tazewell. We went down a couple times last year, and you could literally see the rocks in the dirt and up by the wall where they had been kicked up the race track. It's probably a good thing the fans dont sit close to the track there.

I'm not bashing the place, I thought it was awesome. We went down for the July southern nats race. All the flat tires that night really killed what could have a been a really good race.

Sounds like they finally stirred up rocks from deep in the soil or they were tracked onto the surface by equipment or cars. Whatever, it needs cleaned up, maybe the new clay has fixed the problem.
