      The racing event of the summer. Call it the "Bill France Jr. Cup". A four week fight thru ages.
      Race 1 - Gen 3
      Race 2 - Gen 4
      Race 3 - Gen 5
      Race 4 - Gen 6
      Think that would be fun.

    Larson is just a straight up fan of racing. He's ready to jump in those cars and race!
    Also, I wish you guys had Bowman on here more. Some of the things he says and the way he says them crack me up.

  • @coorsbandit5212
    @coorsbandit5212 2 года назад +14

    Watching Larson and Elliott seem genuinely excited and intrigued by these cars says a lot about their appreciation for the history of the sport. Bowman not knowing Richmond drove the 25 car for Rick boggles my mind. The car is literally sitting in their museum

      @Ka_Gg 2 года назад +2

      @@ncinteriorsplus3520 oh yeah. I agree about local tracks.
      In terms of the old old cars. In my area they a class that's for cars older than 58 iirc. Old steering and front suspension. I like the idea but it just seems like 1 car is so much faster than the other. Not really competitive. Some are beautiful cars and they definitely try to avoid tearing them up. Usually a bunch of older guys. Its still cool though

    Shouldn't be too difficult to get a fab shop to whip up a front and rear clip to the current cars, but set up like the 80's cup cars. A De Dion rear suspension should give that live axle feel without having to alter the cage for an engine mounted transmission.

    If Tim had only lived. The cars were ready for a title run. Tim did so much with so little from the car. He would have been a multiple champion had he not gotten AIDS. I’ll never forget his family. They were so close. Tim was simply the best. What little time he had, he made a huge impact. I remember him winning and inviting everyone to his lake house 😂😂😂

  • @jlr3636
    @jlr3636 2 года назад

    I grew up south of Riverside, that place was the bomb! Didn’t need grandstand tickets, you could watch from your car along the esses, then drive across the bridge and watch the straightaway, or turn #6 or #7 or 7a. It was usually hot and dry, and sunny, and dusty. Watched NASCAR, Indy Car, IMSA, SCCA, NHRA, TransAm (when they ran real converted pony cars), F5000.
    When they destroyed that place they moved the turn #6 grandstand to Bakersfield at Mesa Marin Speedway

  • @wfoybealiii4668
    @wfoybealiii4668 2 года назад

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned one of the main reasons for the cars sliding around, if not THE main reason: Cup cars ran bias ply tires until switching to radials in 1991. The first Cup race I went to since childhood in the 1960s was North Wilkesboro in September 1991. Won by Dale Earnhardt after Handsome Harry Gant led most of the way before losing his brakes in the last handful of laps. We sat down low in the chicken bone section right at the start/finish line,
    so we could look left and seen them in a full 4 wheel drift coming off of 4 and then see the tail end kick out as they dove into 1. Those heavy cars on 12" wide bias ply tires slid all over the place.

    Back then road course set up was soft for weight transfer and for turns by the number of rights vs lefts. Which ever there's the most of that's the way you set your camber and stagger.

    Good times. I was a big Tim fan back then. Nascar lost a future hall of fame driver in Tim.
    these were bias ply tire days also I believe and those things moved all over the track hanging the ass out into the wind. . Tracks have came a long, long way since those days.

    I will say on the game NASCAR Legends you can race Riverside with a 1970 roster. You can just hook up a PS4 controller, install nGlide, and run the game easily on Windows 10. Would love to see them give that a go. Probably a mod for it on NR2003, too.

  • @johnsnow1355
    @johnsnow1355 2 года назад

    They are right. The springs do nothing but let u change the tires in the pits. On track the cars ride on the shock limiter with 0 suspension movement at all. The cars have 0 suspension there solid on track like a go cart. Basically throw away the springs and shocks and ride on rubber blocks. Watch them on track the cars bounce on the tires and there is no movement of the suspension.
