A car fly back into the racing lines at cars going 190+ MPH with the possibility of hitting it in the door, and people are upset that a caution was thrown. Quite shocking. Even if they waited, the airborne car (seen above) was in front of about 20 cars. The best thing was to throw the caution, no need for unnecessary risks.

BS, would clearly rather have Dixon win just so we could see Emma run.

Game set match to the most pointless real world racing (more specifically NASCAR) argument ever.

MWR to a 2 car team next season. Truex and his crew chief allowed to explore other opportunities.

Vickers out with blood clot in leg (calf). Out remainder of season.

Harvick to drive for JRM in at least 12 NNS races next season.

If anyone missed it, I demand you download it and at least watch the last 20-40 laps.

Only way to get mechanical grip back involved is to decrease the corner speeds. The entire cup car is currently sealed to the track, and there isn't anything a tire can do to help it. If you give it a tire that will make the cars slide around, then we will have what we had at Kansas which was a joke. The amount of side force that is created now is off the charts. 10 years ago "side force" wasn't even in the dictionary when it came to talking about NASCAR, now it is everything.

The wicker should be gone, not lowered. The rear spoiler I don't care too much about. I don't want it tall, just to what it used to be. The front splitter can go hang itself. Instead of doing 180mph through the turns get it back down to 160. The loss of front downforce would have crews loosening up the car more to try and find a more neutral setup for the long run. The guys that are a little loose will be fast on a short run and then get undrivable throughout the run.

Anyone who watched NASCAR in the early to mid 2000s watched Matt Kenseth become the guy who qualified bad but had the best long run cars out there. If it was a 15 lap run you would count him out, but if the final stint of the race was 20+ laps then you couldn't ever rule him out. Now Matt switches to Gibbs, who to be honest are known for their qualifying and short run ability. And oh look, he racks up 7 wins this season by just putting himself out front (whether by qualifying or pit strategy) and just locks himself there thanks to the clean air and inability to overtake (unless your car is much stronger).

The decrease in corner speeds would also allow Goodyear to adjust the tire more, allowing wear and punishment to become a factor again. At the current rate of cornering speeds, Goodyear honestly have their hands tied behind their backs.

Just want to state I'm not hating on Kenseth. I've liked him ever since 1998 at Dover.

He should be able to drive at the start of next season. Since it is the end of the season it'll be able to heal better than Denny Hamlin let his this season in NASCAR.

The people on the side of the track there should be extremely happy that car didn't launch over the wall completely.

Really getting into that comment I see.

I still don't understand the huge concern in seeing the person on the bike directly behind you. If they hit you from behind, then that would be their fault. It's no different than a car. The whole "cars not seeing bikes" are more for when cars turn out of a side road when a bike is coming, or when a car changes lanes when a bike is clearly there next to it.

Anyways, the worst case of road rage is here.

Quote from BlueFlame :What about a truck? You're just supposed to drive a greenhouse or what? I mean if you don't see the guy it's your fault apparently.

So the less visibility you have the more superior you are? Truck drivers should be just as aware of their surroundings. Yes, bike riders should be much more on point when around them no doubt, but I don't see what you're trying to add to the conversation besides useless arguing.

In the end it isn't about bikers vs cars vs vans vs trucks, it is just people vs people. Narrowing it down just makes for a bad comparison, which was my original point.

Yeah, the solution for not being able to see someone behind you when not having rear windows is to create them, else don't complain. Stop crying about other people when in the end it is your own fault.

Obviously the 'solution' wasn't practical, but I wouldn't expect you to understand that.

Quote from BlueFlame :You're missing the point. Yea a single motorcycle will most probably get 'taken advantage of' on the road, so to speak but alot of bikers hate on cars and just take stupid liberties on the road just to play the 'didn't you see me' card.

So both take advantage of each other given the situations. Thanks for saying I miss the point, yet have no idea what I'm actually saying. Both 'groups' of people do stupid things all the time. Probably more stupid things come from people with cars. When bikers say "cars don't see me" it has nothing to do normally with when they are behind you. Instead it has to do for when cars pull out onto the road directly in from of them and the bikes either hit them or have to dodge them in a dangerous way. Also when cars just start to cut over on them as if they don't exist. That's what I've heard majority of bikers talk about when "cars don't see us". Any of them with a brain would never follow a car directly behind it, but instead run in line with the LR a few car lengths back.

As for bikers in groups, total dicks at times. Not a fan of when they block an intersection in order to 'stay together' but they do it. Outside of the occasional harassing, normally the bikers aren't putting the cars in any danger.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :I drive a van for work with no rear windows. I regularly get bikers sit exactly in the rear of the vehicle and so close I cannot see them. Usually I might catch a glimpse of a shadow or something similar to let me know there is a ****tard behind me.

"I didn't see you?" You're damn ****ing right I didn't. Don't ride like a **** and people will be able to see you.

Get rear windows then? You're missing 50% of your view rearward and you're blaming the biker? I know you're lanes over there aren't as wide, so he probably can't hang out on the left side of the lanes like they do here, but that doesn't necessarily sound like their fault at all.

They are correct when they say cars don't see them. That's not when they are in packs. When they are alone, cars can be serious dicks toward single riders. It's definitely not uncommon. You're making a bad comparison to be honest.

I never would have got off the interstate. Hate when bikers disrupt traffic when in packs. Extremely annoying.
