Anybody else catch Dale Jr's comment about R. Gordon after the race.   :D    That was funny.

 

Something like...."That D**M 31 wouldn't get out of the way. He's a lap down racing the leaders with 10 to go. That's why it's taken him three or four times to get into Winston Cup, he doesn't pay attention."  It was something to that affect.

 

R. Gordon said he didn't know why Jr was mad at him, because it was his fault.  Then he blamed J. Gordon for him jumping the start. And I imagine his little comment of "I don't know what I did to make him mad, but nobody runs into me" won't sit too well with Jr.

 

Kurt Busch's comments obviously showed that he didn't regret too much that he smacked Spencer the way he did. And Spencer doesn't seem nearly as mad about it as I thought he would.

I also liked Jeff Hammond's comment on Jr and Gordon.  He said he didn't like it...if you have a problem with each other when the race is over get out and settle it man to man.  :D   I would've like to seen Jr. beating the crap out of Gordon.  :D

:D  :D

That would be sweet.  I am sure there would be a line of people to help Jr kick his @ss too.   :D

 

Congrats to Kurt Busch winning his first race.  He is the home town driver here, so even though he drives a furd, its cool to see him win.   :thumbs:

That was a real good race.

 

In the last 100 laps I was pulling for either Jimmy Spencer or Kurt Busch, so it was a good day for me. :D

 

 

I don't see where Busch should regret tapping Spencer like that. Spencer tapped him to get the lead, so he paid him back.

 

Today wasn't a good race for Robby Gordon.

 

All I can say is Texas oughta be very interesting. :D

Spencer did pipe up that he didn't agree with the way KB got the lead. Jimmy Spencer has the shortest memory in NASCAR history!

He gave KB a tap, took the lead, then half a lap later, KB did the same thing. It was great!

I was really pulling for JS to get the win, though. I've always like Mr. Excitement and really want to see him get another win.

I know he did pipe up over it, but not as much as I expected.  I figured he would be much more upset over it.

Jimmy Spencer talks too much, can't stand the guy.  For that reason I was really enjoying him lose it at the end and not able to compete for the trip to victory lane.  Robby Gordan, showed several times that he too is an idiot.  Can't even start the race without getting a penalty.  I find Bristol a very challenging race to watch for various reasons, so many cautions, everyone is so spread out and mixed up, so many storys of he said I said.  I fell asleep there in the middle for a little bit and I never fall asleep when its light out, guess I just don't have enough racing blood in me.

hopefully jr. will have a talk with richard and make sure gordon doesn't stay with the team next year,  if they keep him I will be really really pissed, I hate the guy, he should go back to where he came from.

 

I hope jr. lets him have it good 2 weeks from now.

Sorry guys but I also think Spencer is an idiot. I don't know how many times I've seen him in the wall with no one else even close to him. I really liked the time at Richmond he put himself in the wall then strated to back up in the middle of traffic. Then on the air you could here his crew chief tell him "Whoa Whoa Whoa, 'bout FxxxxD up there didn't ya" Ned Jarret and Benny Parsons just sat there in silence. They didn't know what to say.     :D

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. Chevy pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Silverado 1500, and we got the first official look.   Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/2027-chevrolet-silverado-official-first-look-specs/   The quick hits: LT is dead. The new core trim is just called "Silverado." Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally gets the 10-speed. ZR2 moves to standard 35s with front and rear lockers. Over 60 inches of dash display on ZR2 and High Country, passenger screen included. Seven trims, three lifted from the factory: ZR2, Trail Boss, and a new Custom Trail Boss.   So let's get into it: 5.7 and 6.6 instead of holding out for a 6.7. Right call? Killing the LT name after all these years: bold, or a mistake? Does the new look land for you, or is it too safe? No power numbers at reveal. Smart tease, or frustrating? What are you ordering on day one?   Drop your first impressions below.

      LOL west coast they need to see what the midwest actually has.  We have been holding at 2.99 for a few weeks now.  Even by work they have come down to 3.02 for the past week.

      Diesel or gas?  The 37s will obviously, drastically reduce mpg, but the gasser will take a bigger hit to mpg, and power.  Rough guess, but I'd estimate at least a  2mpg hit on the diesel, and up to 4on the gasser. Maybe more.    I wouldn't sweat a gear change on a duramax at all, and unlikely on the gasser either. You're obviously not concerned with acceleration or towing, and the 10spd will find itself in the right gear without much hunting, if any.    If towing, mpg and acceleration are a concern, you're doing the wrong mods.  Either leave it alone, or do the lift/tires and let the chips fall where they may.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I understand. It is disturbing to think a manufacture asks so much and gives so little in engineering support. This is not a GM issues, this is a greed issue and one the ALL practice.    My intent was not to remove the wind from anyone's sail but rather to point out the areas deficient so that they can be discussed with improvements the goal. But to do that you have to know the truth and what that truth is.    The commercial interest are honed in on a few select issues in which they control all the variables and are not forthcoming in the least with their customers about the details. Failure is the only thing that drives these people to improvement. One way not to fail it to manage public "expectations". The set a bar they can clear and put their thumbs under the suspenders with chest puffed.... Only the internal data tells the story fully. As we don't have access to that for decades then we have to generate it ourselves. UOA's with data that matters.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.
