I'll never make it till February. I have the NASCAR withdrawals so bad I can't stand it!

I think they should run a 51 week scedule. Take one week off to have the banquet and then go to Daytona. No testing, no off time.

Alright Friz, take to beers and PM me in the morning. :D

 

Actually, I can wait.

 

I can do stuff outside and not worry about being back home in time for the races. :D

 

Speedvision is showing all kinds of good stuff.

 

And plus, I like seeing all the new paint-schemes on Jayski's.

 

Plus, I like this time

I don't know what I would do if I didn't have hunting to keep me occupied during the winter.  It would take forever for Feburary to get here, probably will anyways.

 

btw, I priced out he cost to get a roll cage and seat welded into a hobby stock car awhile back.  Guy does most of the roll cages for the top guys in our area, and they all have good things to say about him.  He said $600 for him to provide the materials and labor, and included the roll cage, seat, and fuel tank mounts.  Forgot what tubing he was going to use, but it is heavier duty stuff then required.  Does that sound like a fair price?

 

It won't cost me that much, because I can get the materials at a discounted price and just take them too him.

I wish I could drop ESPN as a token of thanks for their lame bids to host racing events...no nascar, no IRL, no Cart, no F1, a lot of nada...

 

ATT broadband won't carry Speedvision in my area, so they will feel the ax next month. I bought (2) Directv satellite systems for $0.00 after rebate, for the house and cabin.

I served up a dish of DirecTV. Got (2) receivers and dishes, one for home, one for the ranch. Paid 49.99 before 50.00 rebate for net -0.01, and the kind people at Best Buy gave me the second one for free since it was an open box. DirecTV gave us Showtime free for 6 mos as one of their promotions. Neophytes like me didn't know, but that meant about 8 movie channels, not just (1) Showtime like the old cable days.  :D

And of course...SpeedVision! (Which is just paid programming about half the time) :D

Oh man, way to ruin it for me.  Here I was all excited that our cable company finally decided to offer SpeedVision (just started this week), and I find out it has that kind of junk on it.  Oh well, it will still be worth it for when it does have racing.   :D

Well I got more bad news for you Kyle.

 

Speedvision is organised by day. Cars and Trucks are Monnday, Motorcycles ar Tuesday, Marine is Wednesday, Aero stuff is Thursday.

 

And the weekend is a mix of all 4.

 

I don't like it myself.

I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Today, one of my pilots and I were discussing the feasability of flying to Daytona to catch the Truck Race. He's running over the numbers (fuel, weight, etc) to see if we'll be able to make it there and back in one day.

I hope things work out and you get to go to the truck race.  I'm betting it will probably be the best race out of SpeedWeeks this year.  But just being around Daytona on a race weekend is pretty cool in itself.  Only been there once, but can't wait to go back again.  My experience with Indy wasn't quite the same however.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
