Good morning Road America 2024

[blacksheep-1]

Finished 12th.. or 14th.. or something at least we could drive the car on the hauler

At least one of the three was able to get on the trailer under its own power. Two wreck two cars that hard is tough to swallow in one weekend.

The one that made in on the trailer was re-tubbed from Watkins Glen.

The kink was unkind.

Man that was tough to watch. Lots of Mustangs doing Mustang things. Glad the crowd made it out safe.

The “Big Show” was a wreck fest also.
NASCAR is now finishing races with 90%+ cars running and IMSA is balling up cars left and right. What’s wrong with this picture?

Too many pay to play racers operating on daddy's money?

Made it into Tampa at 4:30 AM, yay Delta, you've made up for some of your past sins.
Here's a couple of pics from RA. One looks like it will need a tub, the other...?
Definately not the worst, the 9 car is absolutely toast, it pinballed into Canada corner after hitting the 94.

Because drivers think the cars can do magic. No one drives with reserve anymore because the cars are too good and they think fresh repaves make everything amazing. But tires wear, tracks get hot, grip changes, and so things become less perfect. I'd also assume that Road America is still tricky from the repave. A lot more "offs" at Road America than there was at Watkins Glen.

Watching the GS race now.
Some good stuff, prolly the best race of the weekend.

It’s also the drivers pushing the physical track limits. It’s dry here at RA, the grass is shiny and the dirt is rock hard. Going over the kurbing in the kink is disaster and extending the turn out into the dirt will introduce the car to a wall that seemed to have every race livery tattooed to it.
