Hell yeah man this race weekend is so dang cool!
The one stretch looks like they're on their way to load up onto the carrier then the track hangs a sharp left.
Happy they got all 3 series out there too.
Truck practice was brutal but some bugs just gotta get worked out when it goes live. Seems all good now.

I love the countdown on Prime. Just music and pictures from the scene! They could do the whole broadcast like this and I'd be fine with it

Stoneyluv said:

man i don't know what corner it is yet, might be the very same one you're speaking of.. maybe 12-17ish somewhere.. about 3/4 way through the lap where theres a long left and then it opens up to a sharp right with a big tire barrier right in the middle like an island!!!!! gonna be some good wrecks there!!!

i was just watching cw.com.. they're already bringing out backup cars in the O series..

do you know was it a rule or something i didn't know about? i noticed none of the other series drivers are driving in lower series for practice? is that intentional do you know?

i like it though!!! no secret practices, just raw doggin it on race day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you see larson got to do smoky burnouts there already?? that jinxed his ass right there.. nascar26 cover.. bet that costs way more than $85!!!

... 85 that is!!!!! hahahahahahahaha

Bandit420 said:

I think there's at least two trucks already gone to back ups.
Track seems to be low key diabolical. Can't wait to see them in a pack at full speed.
That jump is hilarious! They're gonna be yeehawing the fuck out of that spot!!

The broadcast booth on the bridge of the carrier has me feeling my feels. I can't think of any sport experience as cool as this or can even do it.

Love to the #21 next year is kinda crazy. Thought for sure he would be Chevy for life but looks like Penske is stealing him away

just packed so full of awesomeness i'm not even sure what the coolest part of it even is!! so incredible i can't wait!!!!! i have the truck race on the big tv... sorry OP live.. not tonight!!! haha

i think the cup cars are tough enough to handle it but not sure about the other two. we're gonna find out man!!!!!

my uncle spendt his career at that naval base!!!

i saw that love move to wood bros!! very happy for him!!! i've been rooting for Brent Crews the past few weeks... hope he has a good race tomorrow!!!

naval gal singing the anthem, navy man grand marshal too fuckin cool man!!! i wouldn't want my doctor to check my blood pressure right now!!!!! hahahaha

Click to expand...

Bandit420 said:

That was fun!!!
Man I guarantee you there was some gnarly competition to sing that anthem. When a special duty like that comes up it's almost like American Idol but in front of the brass.
Logistics are top notch. You know there's nothing the Navy can't handle and it shows.
I always considered San Diego to be Warrior Town, USA man. Marines train and station there too. SEALS. All the good tip of the spear stuff is down there.

Surprised to see them fender fight the trucks that much and them hold up...kinda hahaha! 99 shit a top 10 though!

There's a ton of cool and iconic pics coming out!!!

Willie B attack drone has the same scheme as his car. Now I wanna see the 19 BP scheme on a battleship

i couldn't agree more man... got chills watching most of this!!! i don't even care who wins or not at this point.

there's a lot of good road racers in the O series, this should be great!!!!!!

do you use the CW app? is it in 4K? .. my shitty youtube tv is only in HD...

i really love that vintage wrap that Caruth has!!! i have the all scan on again.. so many different sub spotters all over!!!

this whole weekend has been such a class act man!!!!! you could never see the NFL doing anything like this... those fools would be flashing gang signs and shit with the solders..

goin green baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Bandit420 said:

Sure didn't have a manhole cover stuck in a grill on my bingo card! Maybe a seagull splattered on a windshield but the weekend aint over.

I'm on the tv with Hulu + live tv. It's basically cable thru wifi and CW is a local channel.
CW wont come in 4k but you can squeeze 1080 out of it. Depends on provider but wired cable CW is only 720 and wireless can be 1080.


Looks like the 19 is neighbors with the pickle car

Stoneyluv said:

sure hope he don't get in a pickle!!!! hehehe there seems to be a lot of different stratifies, i wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see a bunch of green flag stops tomorrow.

i got the cw tv channel on the tv and the battle cam from their website on my PC, battle cam is currently showing the battleship!!!! .. then i got the all scan on the scanner.. these guys seem to have found every single weak spot on the track!! haha

Click to expand...

Bandit420 said:

Speaking of weak spots...you see the fan climb up over the fence during the red flag, go on the track, and chat it up and fist bump Sheldon Creed?
Then dude just climbs back over the fence and goes back into the crowd like nothing
Crazy weekend man.

Stoneyluv said:

that was great!!! flip flops and all!!!! hahaha Creed said to his crew "he must have been wasted, because i couldn't understand a single word he said!!" hahaha

can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 3 of marathon racing again.
Well I ended up smoking some of saturday's stash on Friday the truckers went so long.
Yesterday, burned up all of the Saturday and Sunday stash along with about 5000mg of edibles or drinks. Yeah I slept very well hahahaha.
I had to open the vault and dig some more out and found a couple old jars under some bags of gummies, one full of 14g of micros and another 7g of babber to go along with some home grown hash today. All vapes charged and ready!
Say, you notice the replacement toppers for the Daab fit a little loose compared to the topper that came with it? Not bad but there's some play there so it wiggles a bit.

Will drop a pair of fillets on the grill too and make a day of it.
Been nice to take an entire weekend off and have racing on the whole time. Camera feed might open as early as 2pm eastern today before the prerace starts. I bet crowd size will be insane. I think it's sold out for today too

Those trailers sorta armored up like that are what we hauled behind our convoys too. It's not like tank armor but can take some small arms fire and maybe grenade shrapnel.
Enemies would likely be shooting at us on the cannon and not the trailer way back in the convoy with maintenance so it's not all bulked up like maybe a computer command trailer.
Inside is pretty much an entire welding shop and I remember Miller and Lincoln gear stuffed in there but that was almost 30 years ago.

Stoneyluv said:

I bet a bomb could have gone off and you wouldn't have heard it!!! love those deep sleeps!!

this is the most race coverage i've ever watched in one weekend i think. when they announced this race i never went and looked into it at all and left this weekend as a total surprise.

hope SVG punts one onto the aircraft carrier!!! haha



there we go thats what i'm talkin bout!!!! hahahaha

that trailer yesterday could have very much been the same thing with a miller in it... we couldn't really see.

lincoln is good too.. i don't think their mig's and tig's are as good but i still own an old lincoln tombstone that kicks ass!!!!!!

.

gettin close here... less than an hour!!!!!!! looks like Bell is gonna do a driver swap...

hook em!!!

Me seeing that A&M sponsored #41 turned sideways in his pit box

View attachment 131530



Definitely wouldn't see any Harbor Freight gear in that trailer but being defense they probably pay 4x more than you and I would retail.
The truck is likely Chrysler with a Cummins engine. Every diesel in my era was Cummins but glow plugs instead of spark plugs is what I remember most. I don't remember tools ever being branded but they were always heavy and clunky compared to civilian.

is looking strong today!

Hydro is looking much improved from your previous runs at it!
'Zyme looks like it's doing a stellar job with your roots.
Later when it's time you'll be able to add stuff like aminos and sweeteners directly for flavor/terp and potency instead of the round about we we do that with microbes and soils.

Bandit420 said:

Another layer to all that is knowing about endo and ecto mycos. Endo is soft tissue like for veg and ecto is later when the stalk turns more wood like during bloom. I compare it to Marines and Army where the Marines are the invasion force and the Army is the occupational force.
This all happens at the microbial level and how they process everything for your plants but in hydro it seems 'zymes and liquid ferts does the same but much faster and if done well, actually cleaner than organics.

It's funny because when I typed that out I thought damn that sounds like a scene from the movie Sandlot or Stand By Me...watermelon fest in the day and dirt racing that night.
Fireworks too after the race so yeah man it's all kinds of small town Americana this weekend here.
The watermelon festival is everything I want it to be in that sorta thing and way better than the peach festival in those regards.
There will be a morning parade with floats and a watermelon queen.
Seed spitting and eating contests.
Junior farmer contests.
Prize melon auctions
market
carnival
stage with live music
classic car show.
Peach festival aint even really a festival but more so it being peach season and the folks in the town saying it's a peach fest but it's no different than any other day other than they're ripe. Not even a Peach Queen or a parade!

Last year GC was 135lbs!!
