I think that it will be incredibly boring. The cars will get strung out all over the track, lapped cars running with leaders, and the inexperieced guy that has to show the world something will cause the big one.

This may not be popular, but I'm gonna say it anyway.

Talledega and Daytona need track modifications to slow the cars. Changing the cars has not solved any of the problem, it's just made the teams spend a lot of money.

Make the tracks smaller or take some of the banking out. The drivers need to be forced to lift off the throttle. I've never been to Talledega, but I have been to Daytona, and I was not impressed one bit. It hasn't been a track that truly shows a good race for years now.

There.

Now you guys can kill me.

I'm thinking it's going to be the same as usual, except more pit stops.  Drivers won't want to lose the "lead draft" so they will all still pit around the same time, with a group of drivers.

 

Guess we'll have to wait and see.  :cheers:

Well whaddya know, "it" didn't happen, but there were still chances for it to do so. I don't think it completely 100% solved the problem, but it helped a little bit.

 

 

Who would've thought the biggest incident iin the race happened in the pace laps?  :cheers:

Well, the smaller fuel cell definitely didn't help anything at all.  There was never seperate packs of cars which they were hoping for.  With no cautions, the new rule had no effect on the race pattern.  All bunched up per the norm with that restrictor plate.  The only thing that it made for today was more possible mistakes on pit stops.

It may have spread them out a little bit because of the drivers pitting more and on different laps but they all closed back up with each other not long after everyone pitted.  They did get strung out a little near the end, but people were pitting with just a few to go, some trying to save a little fuel I imagine too.

 

Glad the "big one" didn't happen though.

 

How about that Dale Jr.!!  Three in a row at Talladega.  :thumb:   All DEI cars, actually.  :thumb:

I didn't get a chance to watch the race so I taped it. I've stayed away from here, TV, and newspapers so the outcome would still be a suprise. But Ill be damned if it didn't sneek up on me on the radio yesterday.  :angry:

 

Oh well. Congrats Junior and DEI

      New Member Just Bought a Vtrux

      By Artemis · Posted

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?

      Brake Bleeding Procedure on 2026 Silverado 2500

      By davester · Posted

      subscribe to alldata.com, that will have gm's brake bleeding procedure.  and what you have to do likely varies, as if you just replaced a caliper and the MC didn't go dry, you most likely can just do a normal bleed on that corner, but if you disconnected lines at the MC or the abs unit, or let the MC run dry while doing work, you'll have to do a more extensive/complicated bleeding procedure.
