WJMorris3 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Why would you want a racetrack indoors? You'd need a ridiculous amount of a venting system just to make it so that the competitors don't suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Actually there was an indoor track I think either in Pittsburgh or New Jersey. Of course the Chili Bowl held each February for Sprint Cars is indoors and has been for 25 years. It's five days of action in a small arena. It can be done. To have an indoor track, you don't need walls, you just need a roof and you have maybe only front and back stretch seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 I could only imagine the amount of heat that gets generated at the Chili Bowl, pun not intended. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicageaux Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I said the thing about the roof because I was just trying to say it didn't matter about the lights if it was going to keep raining NASCAR was talkng a few years back about building an indoor track in NYC.

NEW.ERA Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Lot of guys took a big hit in the points. Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon and Denny Hamlin. Should be interesting next Sunday. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicageaux Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hamlin really didn't do himself any favors today. The other guys I think can bounce back, even though Gordon and Shrub really took a hit. But, I think Hamlin might be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have issues with carbon monoxide because of it being enclosed. That's actually one of the worst tracks on the circuit for dealing with carbon monoxide, so I know there's no way they'd ever put a roof on that place.

Chicageaux Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 So, Smoke wins his 2nd race of the year and the 2nd race of the chase thanks to fuel milage. Points leading into Dover:1. Tony Stewart2. Kevin Harvick (-7)3. Brad Keselowski (-11)4. Carl Edwards (-14)5. Jeff Gordon (-23)6. Kyle Busch (-26)7. Matt Kenseth (-26)8. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (-26)9. Kurt Busch (-28)10. Jimmie Johnson (-29)11. Ryan Newman (-34)12. Denny Hamlin (-66)It's the lowest Johnson's ever been in the chase, but I don't think we can count him out just yet. However, Stewart's looking good and the last person to win the title since Johnson was Tony. I think after Talladega, we'll have a better picture of how it's going to wrap up.

Why not go out on a limb and say after Homestead we'll have a better picture of how it's going to wrap up? The thing is Talladega is before Martinsville and a newly repaved and configured Phoenix which no one has notes for. So you have those three wild cards at the end of the season, so truthfully if you're anywhere within a 43 points from the lead going into Talladega, those three tracks can put you in the lead or way out of it. Heck, as much as people want to say Denny Hamlin's out of it, if these were the points going into Talladega, with one wreck he could be top 5 and then another bad race by the leaders at Martinsville he could be in the lead.

Chicageaux Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Because in my opinion, Talladega's the biggest wild card on the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Additionally, we all know where the last driver to win the first two races of the Chase finished in the final standings: third place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydnimrod Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I like that color combo and paint scheme. What I'm not crazy about is the number font. I like the Truex 56 numbers, and while I hope that they don't change, it would look really awkward with these numbers and the 56 numbers (although the 15 looks similar to the 00).

rvrdgsfn Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Jimmie wins in Kansas & only trails the championship by 4 points behind Harvick & Edwards.Edit: Oh & NASCAR.... MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!http://www.nascar.com/nationwide-series/news/111009/bfrance-kansas-austin-montreal/index.htmlKANSAS CITY, Kan. -- NASCAR racing on the Formula 1 road course being constructed in Austin, Texas? It's a possibility, series chairman Brian France said Sunday at Kansas Speedway."There's a new facility on the horizon, if you believe what is being written about, which is down in Texas, with a big road course," France said in one of his occasional briefings with reporters. "We have some road-racing products that might be possible, too. Yeah, we'll take a look at that for sure." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
