Bitter sweet race for me. Return to great memories of watching NASCAR in the past, while at the same time a fiery rage in the stomach at what the series is becoming.

On the true superspeedways if you're going to keep the cars glued to the ground you need to add more drag than last year's package. Good move by NASCAR (probably the only good change this year) to make the rear spoiler height change at the plate tracks. The effects of changes elsewhere are yet to be seen, but I don't see them helping much.

Woo! The last pure national stock car series is green in Daytona (albeit with not enough power to do much of anything ) ARCA racing's 200 mile race.

Edit: And a big crash due to inexperience. Here's a stream link: http://www.racefansonlytv.com/

Quote from Jaydude95 :Hi,
Am interested in taking part in this race event. Just wondering how strict you are on team speak use? It's just my computer doesn't run very well with TS and LFS.

Thanks, James

It will depend on the number of drivers we have. If the number is in the area of 15 drivers I'm likely to not mandate TS. However, if it is closer to 30 it will be a necessity. At this time I think it will be closer to 10 drivers

Often it makes yellow flag procedure much smoother and allows me to alert competitors of things that they need to take note of (like a flipped race car) without distracting them too much.

Early people feared death and what followed it. Once communication became possible somebody attempted to ease people's minds with a religion of sorts. There is no way to prove them wrong, so the idea sticks, and evolves to the complex thing that it is today. Religion is not a bad thing in and of its self, and there's nothing wrong with it because it does have a purpose in any society which allows emotion.

Organized religion as it exists today, however I feel has been used more as a tool for gaining and maintaining power than easing people's minds. All of today's major religions were established in times when science was well behind where it is now (with Islam being the youngest). This is the reason that religion can be proved incorrect in its current form.

We have no way of knowing exactly what happens to a person's consciousness after they die, and it will likely remain that way for ages if not forever. This is where religion still has a play in today's world. The religions themselves cannot be respected by anybody exactly as they are today if they believe in science, but their ideas about a person's consciousness after life should still be.

Science is ever evolving, and may later prove its self wrong when enough evidence proves it so. Religions have never been able to be proved wrong until recently, and they are so stepped in tradition that they will not accept it. Accepting it would also reduce the power of the organization which is behind it, and as thus prevents them for accepting the truth as science presents it. This is why organized religion is losing masses of followers worldwide.

Quote from Gutholz :Does this mean it is open for everyone or does it need license? If license is required, one can get it via the practice sessions?

No, I have completely done away with licenses. They confused people, and did not work in the first place. Thanks for asking

Well, I must say that Ham has a few valid points. The first is that in a system that is not to be biased towards a religion the science books of many United State's public schools are in fact somewhat slanted. This is a good argument. I must admit this.

As an atheist I cannot see a 6,000 year old Earth being anywhere near reality, and I absolutely cannot see myself believing in creation theory.

On the other hand these people should be entitled to their opinion, and our children should be left to decide what they believe on their own. I don't think schools try to deny children of that right, but I do think that scientific knowledge and understanding reveals the truth to a majority of people.

Reincarnation and other such theories of an "after-life" I also cannot believe, but I don't see scientific understanding and knowledge hindering such viewpoints in any real way. (First hand experience here with an Agnostic Girlfriend of 3 years).

Thanks for posting this It was enjoyable.

Well, they took integrity out of the championship, and put it back into the penalty process. Can't get the best of both worlds.

Only a special kind of idiot decides to administrate an oval race. Sadly, I am one of those.

The 2014 Fern Bay 150 will be the 2nd annual. The race will be 150 laps in the XRT at the Fern Bay Oval (F24). We will run this event with the same rules as the Kyoto 400, and the event will begin with 10 pace laps. TeamSpeak will be required in this event as in all Worldwide Racing oval races.

Qualifying and race will both take place on Saturday, March 1st 2014 with qualifying starting at 17:30 GMT. Qualifying will be open track style for a half an hour (30 minutes). The race will begin shortly afterwards and should be expected to last around 45 minutes.

We will have practice sessions for this event, but attendance will not be required. License plates must display the driver's number in all sessions. The Worldwide Racing Rulebook applies to this event.

Quote from PMD9409 :Knee-jerk reactions and bandaids. The source for many declines and failures.



Edit: Also, this from ESPN

Quote :"If you see all these guys in a line on the racetrack, you think they aren't racing that hard," Edwards observed. "That's what NASCAR has been trying to address. The cars are so dependent on aerodynamics, such that I can't get sometimes to the guy in front of me. He's making a wake in the air and he's ruining my aerodynamic advantage. Even if my car is faster, I basically can't get to him because I lose my ability to corner fast. No matter how much you make a position worth or a win worth, if you can't get to a guy, there are going to be long periods of the race where it's difficult to pass.

"The test we had at Charlotte [with cars racing in packs using different ride heights and aerodynamic configurations] was awesome," he added. "The format was good, and I think we need to do more of that to try and make the actual racing better. In my opinion, they need to continue to work on less downforce and less dependence on aerodynamic devices. When I go back and watch YouTube videos of races in the past, there were guys running all over each other at big racetracks, and I don't think they were relying on big splitters and spoilers."

Keselowski, the 2012 Sprint Cup champion, shared a similar perspective.

"People like to say, 'Let's put a million dollars on the line at the All-Star Race and see if they all wreck each other,'" he said. "That's not how it works. When you're racing as hard as you can already, you can't create another set of rules to change that. When you're fighting stuff like aerodynamic things on mile-and-a-half racetracks, you can't get close enough to wreck somebody. You can't contrive that.

"From a driver perspective, there's nothing left," Keselowski continued. "There is no set of rules that can make me race harder than I already do. You might not take as big of a risk when you're fighting for 14th or 15th place -- you're just trying to maximize your day -- but when it comes down to fighting for a win, I feel confident that everyone at the Cup level is going to take it."

Edit2: Oh, and if you feel strongly enough about anything, please e-mail NASCAR at: [email protected]
They could use some more fan feedback from people who know something about racing.

This was an honest mistake. Once again, incident was noted, but there was no malicious intent with this move, and no administrative action is required.

Quote from Jatimc :Time Code of Incident (start - finish):29:04-29:13
Drivers Involved:94,07
Description:94 turns at 07

94 fails to notice the 07 on his outside and causes a crash. An honest mistake. Incident noted, but no action needed with this alone (If every instance of this resulted in a post race penalty the results would make little to no sense).

Quote from Jatimc :Session:Race
Time Code of Incident (start - finish):1:55:45-1:56:00
Drivers Involved:94,07
Description:94 turns to 07 half field crashes..

94 makes contact with the 07 causing a crash. This is the second such incident involving car 94. Incident noted, but no action needed (The 94 failed to finish and any in-race penalty would be pointless when applied to this competitor.)

Quote from Jatimc :Session:Race
Time Code of Incident (start - finish):49:00-49:15
Drivers Involved:46,17
Description:46 hits 17 half field crashes

46 makes contact with the 17 resulting in a crash. Incident noted, but no action needed (If every instance of this resulted in a post race penalty the results would make little to no sense).

Quote from Jatimc :Session:Race
Time Code of Incident (start - finish):2:34:00-2:34:10
Drivers Involved:07,17
Description:07 turns to 17

07 makes contact with 17 causing a crash. Incident noted, but no action needed (If every instance of this resulted in a post race penalty the results would make little to no sense).

Drivers Involved: 46, 91, 38
Description: Car 91 is forced into the wall by car 46, recovers, but continues to make contact with car 38 and spin himself. Car 91 is suspiciously slow at returning to forward momentum, and drifts into the racing line carelessly.

The 91 spins through his own fault, and intentionally leaves his car in the racing line when there was not a reason to be. It should be noted that a similar incident occurred with this competitor in one of our practice events.

We at Worldwide Racing will not tolerate manipulation of our events or insulting of our competitors. As a result of these incidents fwj515 and any associated accounts will be suspended from Worldwide Racing events until 2016 for his involvement in this attempt to manipulate this event, and other offenses listed above.

Description:21 drives on purpose to 25. Only reason for this was to make a yellow flag. Unsportman like move

The 21 drives down beside his teammate for unknown reasons. The two make contact and the 21 spins. Later in the lap the 25 intentionally spins on the front stretch making contact with other competitors which does at last draw a caution.
