Chase for the Cup Race #2, Loudon, New Hampshire , a short track crammed full of short-tempered drivers... a combination for mayhem and mishaps, chaos and another chance to make a run at the prize.

Here's to sunny skies and a light breeze.. See ya there.. or here. :-)

As always, this thread is dedicated to those who serve our nation at great peril. God Watch Over and Bless them and their families.

New Hampshire International Speedway is one of the most unusual tracks on the Nextel Cup Series. How unusual? The track has been described as "Martinsville on steroids." Its roots in New England racing go back to 1964, when Bob Bahre acquired a track in Oxford, Maine, which he and his son, Gary, operated until 1986.

The Loudon race thread is up! Ping!

[nascarnation]

Where big heavy stock cars on skinny tires qualify @ 135mph on a 1 mile flat track.....amazing

[tubebender]

Second

[refermech]

Nascar can be pretty exciting but I tuned out after watching Tony Stewart intentionally run Matt Kenseth off the track.(Couple years ago) Lots of real poor sportsmanship in it now. Just a money thing. A real shame

[tubebender]

Matt who???

NASCAR tries to break up Talladega 2-car tandems
http://news.yahoo.com/nascar-tries-break-talladega-2-car-tandems-193718167.html

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR tweaked two rules for next month’s race at Talladega Superspeedway, apparently in an effort to limit the two-car tandem racing that has dominated at its two fastest tracks.

The first change ordered Wednesday was an increase in the size of the restrictor plate that will be used in the Oct. 23 race. The larger holes in the carburetor plates should lead to an increase of horsepower that could make the cars 2 to 3 mph faster.

NASCAR also ordered an adjustment on the pop-off valve in the cooling system that should lower the maximum water temperature in engines. A threat of overheating could prevent cars from staying hooked together for too long.

Honest, I am trying to get excited about the twelve (only) dwarfs fighting for snow white. It is tough.

I am still pondering my Yankee hearted Pitt Panthers and the Syracuse frozen Orange Indians going to play pigskin ball with the likes of some guys called the Tar Heels and Wake Forrest Gumps by going to the Atlantic Coast NASCAR Conference (ACC).

As I grew up I always considered places like Talladega, Raleigh, Richmond, etc. places that you wanted to plan your trip around not to hit traffic on the way to Miami.
But heck, even Miami with Homestead now has to be avoided at the end of the year now.

Now if I can only figure out where Clemson is and what track to avoid there.

God really has a sense of humor that makes our lives interesting.

Interesting! I ran the numbers too and came up with the same results.

Rain is possible for NHMS tomorrow which is why I was curious about a Q rainout.
