Looks like he's back to being his old self again. Wasn't it last year he was whining that someone was going to get killed out there because of all the bump drafting and rookies being stupid?

 

Now he is telling everyone he just "loosened" Kyle Busch #5 up.

 

I don't like the Busch brothers either, but what Stewart did was just like a sore loser. Stewart needs to quit lying about the dirty pool he plays. I guess he thinks we're stupid and that we can't really see what he did. I never liked Stewart to begin with, but geeezzzzz, can't the guy win a race on talent instead of being dirty?

Not with restrictor plates, either freight train them, or out mirror drive them.

 

What Stewart complained about last year was what Jr. did in the middle of the try oval. Stewart just got an inexperienced driver loose.

I have to agree with gave 20 here, I think what Tony did Saturday night is acceptable. Busch had plenty of room to save it, and I believe they both knew that.

 

What isn't acceptable, and I believe what he was saying last year, was people doing the same thing back in the pack in a bunched up group of cars with no room for error.

 

 

But Tony can be a dirty dog sometimes, like last year when he straight up ran Kenseth into the grass.

I don't really see a problem with anything that he did. A good driver would of easily kept control of the car if Stewart did that to them. You know I would say that 99.9% of the drivers out there do that, its just when it is for first place everyone is going to see it. Let me ask any of you this...if your favorite driver did what Stewart did would you be complaining then?

If my favorite did that I would be just as miffed, that's just my opinion.....guess I just like things fair and square..but those days are long gone.

 

Ricko looks like they are going to do a little more digging on the "mystery" oil, now they took the whole car! What is Mikey up to???

I'd say he was a liitle worried about missing the 500.

I'd also say let the 9, the 17 and the 55 watch the race on TV.

If they did that I bet they'd have less cheating.

(Iknow, probably half the field cheated in quals in some way, but, get caught, go home)

You got your wish ricko. Well, part of it anyways.

 

The 9,10, 17, and 19 Crew chiefs have all been suspended, meaning most of all they will be watching the 500 on TV, and not at the track (very similar to Chad Knaus' suspension last year.

 

And Kahne, Kenseth, Sadler, and Riggs all have been docked 50 points..... Meaning whatever points they make on sunday, will be minus 50 when all is said and done.

 

Very mind blowing. :)

 

 

Notice the Evernham common denominator here? :cool:

I still say park the drivers also. Like they did to Harvick a few years back.

Maybe make the drivers clean the crappers after the race! :)

I have to disagree man.

 

They parked Harvick for something HE did.

 

All the drivers do is drive the cars, they don't touch the engines. It's not their fault the crew chief wants to chance it.

Another crew chief is out..................Mikey's. He is just getting slammed right now, click on the link below. I'm thinking Toyota is pretty ticked considering it's there big debut with Nascar and Mikey is not making them look good.

 

Gotta admit, this year is starting out pretty darn interesting! :seeya:

 

Mikey's Troubles

 

Have a great night guys!

P.S. I would love to have someone come over and clean my crapper :)

lisak......your link does not work.

 

It does not look like to me that mikey is going to make the show................He has to win or come second in a duel race to even get in.....and the way things are going for him he has a snowballs chance in hell of doing that.

 

Answer this for me. Is Matt kenseth in the same fix or does he have enough Roushe owners points from last year to get in?

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      I would argue that GMPartsDirect has that info wrong.    The service manual for R+R the lower arm and for adjusting camber/caster, none of the steps say to discard and replace the nut or the bolt.    The only part that gets discarded is the plastic cam adjustment retainer that is in the eccentric from the factory.     The LCA nut torque spec is: First Pass: 180 Y (133 lb ft) Final Pass: 90 –105 Degrees

      OCI, not when but why?

      The filtering to wear relationship goes like this:      'Relative Engine Life "Factor" new divided by the factor old. So 8/3= 2.67. That result is the multiplier thus if a motor had an effective life of 100K using a filter with a 45 micron rating at a Beta ratio of 75 then a filter with a micron rating of 10 at a Beta of 75 would improve expected engine life to 267,000 miles.    Wear metals are an indirect indicator. Less is better and the motor lives longer but there isn't a multiplier like there is for filtration so well documented. Most of that has to do with the sensitivity of the wear metals tests themselves. They read a 'slice' of the spectrum but not the absolute values for the entire spectrum. So a general indicator that is used WITH the results of other tests. Two others considered in this post. Trending is very important.    There is also the influence of corrosive wear which may be seen in the wear metals but separate from load based or viscosity mitigated indication. It's a small graph but the gray line is wear vs the TBN/TAN crossover. Not as useful as it used to be as there are now new chemistries for acid remediation that don't show up in standard UAO testing. They will catch up or be found liars. Only two possible outcomes, eh?

      One thing that comes up over and over is that the torque converters are the weak link. Many of the failed transmissions have the same thing in common. The torque converter grenades and then metal torque converter shards end up destroying the transmission. One of the best things you can do is if your transmission is still fully functional, change out to one of the aftermarket billet torque converters. There are several good choices mentioned in different threads here to make your choice. After that, then you can decide about trans tuning. My trans failed at around 95,000 miles. It got replaced under the GM protection plan. The remanufactured trans comes with a 100,000 mile /3 year warranty. I still have just under 1 year left. So far, so good. As long as it's still working good next year, an aftermarket torque converter is going to get installed early spring. If the trans and OEM torque converter fail by then, I will get it replaced under warranty and immediately have an aftermarket torque converter installed. A warranty replacement trans of a replacement trans will no longer have the warranty so I will bulletproof it from the get go.

      Pushing $4.00 a gallon in most places, still $3.75 in town but it's going to spike tomorrow for sure.   Diesel back up to $4.60-5.00.
