yea!

i think i am the only one nutty enought to look at junk like this before each and every race, but somehow or another, its always helps me know a little about what is gonna happen before the race even starts.

things do change a bit from year to year, but not as much as you might think.

if you pay close attention to the best lap times, it will give away a valuable secret as to what this race will be all about..........

im guessing most of you are pulling down to the apron on the backstretch here to pit? making pit road coming off the track as fast as this place is is gonna be tough.

adam i probably should have told you earlier,but if you go to the league rulebook they have settings for each track as far as pitting goes.and yes at california you have to be on the apron before you get to turn3,and to exit you need to be on the backstretch to come back up onto the track.

retro is right about the pitting.

dont let that fool you into thinking pitting the league way here is any easier though.

to me, cali is treacherous.......

i realize that they havnet gotten back to you yet... but i was under the impression that the truck series roster was caped (25) which is currently the amount on the roster on the site... so... i think that they are only accepting for busch currently

bad start

Post by EagleKeeper »

me and another driver touched at just the right spot exiting turn 4 (you know.... in my left rear quarter panel) .... needless to say.... it's a spin every time. It happened on lap 2 or 3 of the Cup race to me..... and happened to me on lap 4 of the CTS race.
sigh...
although i won the Busch race.... the last two races have me questioning myself.
don't know how many races I will make this season.... I usually miss a bunch anyway. but.... I may have lost interest.... or maybe it was just 2 bad races.
I'm taking next week off..... so admin... if you are reading this..... I'll take a DNS @ Indy Busch.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I finished dead last in the daytona cts race by screwing up my 'fuel' strategy, running out of gas, spinning out trying to downshift to neutral, and then getting stuck on that hill in the turn 3 grass. I had to quit the race because I couldn't get the truck to move!

OH well. the 6th at california will help me out.
