“ Win on Sunday, sell on Monday, is long gone. These cars are not “stock” cars anymore. ” Helped put a 22’ ZL1 in my garage

Well it’s a start. Lets see how many Camaros Chevy sells, and how many former fans come back to watch, and if they make any new race fans.

That was a big draw years ago, the cars they raced weren’t much different than one you could get in the showroom, made for a lot of brand loyalty. NASCAR moved away from that, what races on the track hardly resembles what the public could buy, and I think they lost some fan base because of that. And becoming “woke” didn’t help their cause also.

Brian France stopping a race to lecture the audience on racism finished it for me.

Haven’t watched a race since. I was a 40 year fan.

Unfortunately I have to go to Martinsville Speedway in October for some sort of corporate event. I’ll be working it.

OK, I’ve heard of that but was not in My OBASU (On board Acronym Storage Unit) but has been added.

But now I gotta ask: If it’s Wind Tunnel Data then where does the Wind change into Fluids ?

Would that be similar to turning Water into Wine ?

I doubt the drivers typically have access to that level of tech data detail. Hamlin might because he’s also a Toyota team owner.

They are going to run exhibition races with electric cars. Probably at the LA clash race before the SB.

These cars are not “stock” cars anymore.

Surprise!

Yeah that happened 40 yrs ago in 1981 when the Gen 3 Cup cars came out.

Jeff Gordon loves the Zl1 and has one in his garage too

No surprise here. I was referring to the 1960’s-70’s cars as that is when the saying about win on Sunday sell on Monday was popular, but I guess I didn’t make that apparent. My fault.

Dang, i woulda sent a letter to complain about it if i had seen him do that-

[cyclotic]

I did. Told him he lost a fan.

I was working with a track to promote a corporate event which I discontinued. They lost money.

With enough humidity, like in Houston...
