the XRT is hell after turn 2 especially because of that little drop for a split second which gets you loose.
And those bloody rounded bumpers of the FZR are woeful.
Tim, its fun to watch rainy F1 races but not the torrential rains at Fuji, where the race is led more by Bernd Maylander in the Safety Car than it is by an F1 car.
I hated Fuji. They could have built it in a better place, instead of at the bottom of a bloody dormant volcano and where it rains all the time. Not to mention i found the racing boring there.
The Earnhardt Ganassi meger i believe has caused more problems rather than solving them. Now that Truex has left, the only real option left would be to put Aric Almirola in the #1 for 2010. What happened to the Wrigley's Juicy Fruit/Big Red sponsorship? Weren't they meant to run a few races on the #42?
Truex made a good move by signing on with MWR. MWR made a huge turning point in 08 when Reutimann started getting top 10's. Truex now finds certainty with MWR; a solid ride with solid sponsorship from NAPA.
Whenever Marcos Ambrose finishes in the top 5 (or close to) he's to be avoiding a wreck (Coke Zero 400 and Aaron's 499)
I like your diagram Timo lol
What happens is that the whole Clockwork team becomes the FBI-Clockwork sub team because of the alliance which started from the Kyoto 500.
i hope that explains it lol.
other members of Clockwork join this sub team. its an alliance formed for the Kyoto 500 which now continues into LFSCART because i signed up for a few races.
That is when bump drafting becomes cheating when a significantly faster car is literally pushing a slow car. It becomes more pushing and less drafting.
Bump drafting is the car up front only having front wing drag, the car behind that only needs to deal with rear wing drag and therefore they go faster.
The SCCA has a fair point because the NASCAR race cars have equalised bumper heights to prevent spin outs.
