    NASCAR test of new ride

     



    CUP: Six Pack Of G6 Facts

    some good news? I was surprised that they removed the rear sway bar. But I guess if they keep the big rear spoiler they'll plant the rear on the springs & suspension and eliminate any body roll/lean. HMmmmm...

    I'm glad too that they aren't a mirror image of each other any longer.

    Oh I like this Nasscar running cars the we see on the road. About time, I could start to be interested again.
    I have two brains, one is lost and the other is out looking for it

    Been waiting for some real track time with the cars, sounds like they're working good on the track. The wind tunnel data on them initially was good, guess they kept improving!!!!!

    I found it also interesting that the big flat spoiler was to slow them down on the straight but that's not what is happening. Also funny (to me) was the champ Keselowski was whining about the Toyota speeds but if you look at the first testing sessions it all chevy's at the top on the first day and a chevy out front on the second!

    Sounds like normal NASCAR!!!! The other brands always have an unfair advantage!!!!! (Like everyone shows all they have during testing, right????)

    10-4! It's just kinda ironic that "the Champ" had to claw and scratch his way to the top and then fight to stay there with a major sponser who was throwin' in the towel! He should be sittin' on top of the world! The season hasn't even started and he's whinin'..

    I've been searching a bit for info on the Penske "arrangement" with Rousch Fenway and NASCAR.. haven't seen much yet.

    I would also have to wonder if some from Roush-Yates engines might have decided to seek employment elsewhere??? Penske has always had a first rate engine shop no matter what the form of racing!!! His guys got more out of the Dodge's then Petty or anyone else ever could!!!!

    But yeah, I would imagine there is at least some back door help coming from Ford and Roush....

    Robert Yates was always famous for hangin' back a bit in off season testing, I doubt Doug is a whole lot different.... Let em wish for awhile, then blow them away!!!!!!!
