I once asked a driver who gets in a sprint and SC at Eldora if he would have a midget ride for the 4 Crown. He paused and looked at me and said “I am not sure I want to get in a midget at Eldora”. ...
It seems there are always complaints about Eldora whether it is too dusty or the program takes too long. I have attended several 4 Crown events and enjoyed every one of them, even the 24 hours of...
I moved to Kokomo in the late 90’s. Shortly after, the track was sold a couple of times and the new owners did their level best to ruin things. Moving races to Saturday, few cars showing up, bad...
I was there, sorry, but the heat isn’t the same. Was 93 and above the week before I came North and the sun is so much more intense in FL. In any event, it was hot and if you are not used to 90...
I was thinking yesterday of the thread about the upcoming race in SD, asking people to support it. There was a good crowd but why would anyone think folks would travel 800 miles when an amazing...
Some may not care for JG’s sliders but he can wheel a car at Kokomo. He showed last night how to counter the slide job. I live in FL now and the only races I see each year are at Smackdown. I miss...
It is over 2 times the distance from CA to SD than from Indy to SD. Agree though that the track will be depending on locals for support and not counting on people driving 800 miles from IN. The NFL...
Thoroughly enjoyed the race. I know many on here rip on Indy racing but it takes some big stones to strap into one of those machines on a high speed oval.
This is exactly right. NASCAR is struggling compared to their zenith. However, they have national TV contracts where every race is televised. It is still a popular form of racing, the most popular...
That kind of makes his point, the golden years of USAC were 1/2 century ago. I see his point though, NASCAR was always considered a red neck, hill jack deal. They have tried to overcome that. I...
I like racing of about any kind, of course sprint cars are my favorite. I don’t watch a lot of NASCAR these days, if I do it will be the last 30 laps or so. I will give kudos to NASCAR for being...
Legion course is probably the most inexpensive, in a normal year gets a lot of play. Wildcat is an awesome course. Chippendale on the south end of town has 27 holes and is nice.
Thanks all. Obviously my decision, likely low risk but I have tried to be wise throughout this pandemic without being in total lockdown. It just doesn’t seem to be a risk worth taking at this...
I have been to all the Smackdowns except the summer my father passed away. I currently reside in FL, have tickets to Smackdown and these would be the only races I see this year. I want to attend but...
It is not correct more people die in car accidents than the coronavirus. I believe the correct number is 38,000 Americans die annually from car accidents, what are we up to now after about 4 months,...
This delves into ******** so I shouldn’t go there but thought some facts on taxes, IN vs Oregon, would be in order. To really understand taxes you need to consider all taxes. According to this...
True, but these results are consistent with other viruses. I work in a position where I write protocols for studies and review data so I appreciate your response.
I live in SW FL. It is not that temperature, humidity, and UV light will eliminate the virus but it certainly may reduce the problem. Note that FL has a high population of vulnerable folks but the...
One other tidbit, studies conducted by government scientists have shown that the life of the virus is impacted by higher temperatures and humidity. Combine summer conditions with UV light and the...
There is now much known about this virus. From US and global information it appears the death rate of this virus is less than 1%, probably higher than the flu but not nearly as bad as early...
The NFL was a non-profit up until 2015 as allowed by law. However, they are now a for profit enterprise. I had never heard the league was a non-profit until you’re post. Crazy.
I should add that on most fan sites a couple of the posts above, using racist language, would get you banned. There is freedom of speech but not freedom from consequences of that speech.
