Busch Clash…Who’s going?

[BUDMAN]

Anyone attending the NASCAR Busch Clash next month at the LA Colosseum? Joe @OldSchoolBoats his boys & I will be going on Sunday. Hoping that it’s going to be more exciting than Bristol. I know you nascar haters are “go straight turn left, go straight turn left boring”. Even the biggest haters I think can agree it’s going to be a good one.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

This is going to be so rad. Boys can't stop talking about it.

 

[Cobalt232]

We are going. Just got tickets yesterday. Hope our car doesn't get stolen.

 

[mjc]

I would like too but not sure about the area since I would need a place to stay and don't see much of a place for an rv. I guess I could just park among the homeless rv encampments.

You don’t want to stay anywhere near the coliseum lol

 

[That Guy]

We would like to have gone but are out of town. I think it will be fun regardless....

 

[JB in so cal]

I'll watch that sombitch!! Boogity boogity boogity...

 

[BUDMAN]

I'll watch that sombitch!! Boogity boogity boogity...

I could have gone forever and not hear that phrase again and it would still be too soon

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

At least one person will be winning at The Coliseum this year.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

What is the track length? This is gonna be pretty cool.

Just read, it is 1/4 mile. Wow.

 

[rrrr]

A quarter mile flat track just laid down with 3,600 lb cars running 350 laps in six races.

With the side loads those cars put down, I'll be most surprised if the track doesn't come apart by the main event. There should be Vegas odds on the lap it'll happen.

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

Not going but excited to watch it on TV!

 

[mjc]

That is the problem. If I still lived in CA I might have gone.

Or it'll survive just fine and be drama free.

Are you drunk? We're talking about NASCAR here.

No drinking tonight.
I just prefer not standing under ominous dark clouds is all.
Let Nascar jump the shark if the pavement comes apart.

The track will still be in better condition at the end of the event than most of the streets a block from the coliseum.

New (temporary) race track, new cars, new wheel and tire package. What could go wrong.

I'm actually on the fence about going. A friend wants to go but I might steer him to a few races at the PAS instead.

 

[JB in so cal]

Oh

The track will still be in better condition at the end of the event than most of the streets a block from the coliseum.

Oh, snap!!

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

If they're tearing that shit up to do this event....they shoulda just alternated with Anaheim and did a Supercross one weekend too. Dust off and huck that arch man....now that would be cool.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Brrrrraaaaaappppp...

 

[playdeep]

Gonna be interesting...
Present day Nascar is basically WWF while attempting to appeal to a new Woke audience.
They've pretty much jumped the shark as far as being a series devoted to real racing.
The whole 1/4 mile bullring deal with heat races&LCQ's is a marketing attempt to try& reconnect with their past and bring Saturday night short track fans back into the fold.
Guaranfuckingtee that if Kyle Larson hadn't done what he did last season &brought all the dirt track fans back who watched weekly to see him kick everyone's ass...this L.A.Colleseum deal wouldn't be happening.
There's a lot riding on this for Nascar.
I'll watch and hope it works simply because I love racing.
There's gonna be a lot of beating and banging going on which I have to believe Nascar wants...they're program isn't quite on life support but it desperately needs a shot in the arm to survive/thrive.

 

[Desert Whaler]

Anyone know what channel this will be aired on ?
ESPN ?

EDIT : Found it . . . FOX

This is the reason I'm going to wait and see how this one turns out. Very excited for it, regardless.

If this works, they can build an 80k seat short track in any major city they want for 1/10th of what it costs to build a permanent Cup-ready race track.

With the new 18" wheels, the teams can mount some 35" Toyos to use when the track starts to break up. By the time it's over, it'll look like a stadium truck race. Maybe they can put some jumps in the infield to spice things up a bit.

Hell, this might be NASCAR's endgame lmao

 

[76sanger]

42 cars on what, a 1/4 mile track? It will be lame! Bunched up fucking each other up the ass.

 

[sirbob]

Seems like a lot of cars in a small place - not to mention it getting real boring after the first 20 laps.

Hell how can you even know who’s leading after the first few laps?

It seems fun to watch for a min. I guess we could hope the track comes apart / that would be something else to see after the first hour.

 

[DUN]

They are doing heat races with a fraction of the field to qualify for like a 22 car feature... and it won't be 500 laps.

Similar to how "real" short track racing is done.

New car is gonna be bad ass, and they are doing more and more road races. NASCAR is like WWE, and F1 is like watching synchronized swimming.

 

[rivergames]

I was going to go, but I'll be dirtbike riding in Baja that weekend.

If anyone needs a place to stay, I'd either stay in downtown (2 miles away and probably a $20 Uber) or stay near LAX in El Segundo or Westchester off Century Blvd. (9 miles away and probably a $30 Uber)

The Coliseum is next USC, but that area is hood.

 

[Badchoices03]

Each heat will be 10 cars and the main will be 23

 

[coolchange]

Hope you guys have a good time. Like a train wreck I’ll have to watch some of it on tv. 1/4 mile FLAT track with single pin corners, might get as fast as the 210 in the morning.
They should leave the set up and do sprint cars, mods and bikes next weekend. THAT would be a show!

 

[pixrthis]

We’re going, looking forward to it.

 

[Sandlord]

Wanted to go, but don’t like the neighborhood, or county, or state.
I hope its good
on TV.

 

[Badchoices03]

My company is taking some customers, I am a Nascar fan and would love to go....but the vaccine/mask/negative test requirement has me watching from TV instead...

 

[Yldboyz]

I'm going. Should be fun

New car is garbage, nascar is dead

 

[Ascot71]

To get an idea of what NASCAR is looking for in this event, check out a couple episodes of Madhouse. A little scripted for me, but it is about racing at Bowman Gray Stadium in NC. Pretty sure it was on History Channel. The show followed teams racing in the weekly Whelen Modified Series. Good ole fashion Saturday Night Racing!

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

No jab requirement and no mask requirement either. I have been to 2 games at SoFi in December and no issue. Didn't even need to take a rona test either..........

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

How do you figure that?

 

[Badchoices03]

Their website and tickets say its required...and I had a bunch of coworkers go to the Rams vs 49'rs game and they all had to show proof of vax or a negative test...

The negative test is not an issue......

My Dad took my son and sister to the Rams playoff game Monday and they had to show their cards and my sons negative test from that day.

 

[Canuck 1]

How do you figure that?

Might as well go run go carts, they have taken all the innovation out of the sport. As bad as the IROC shit of old

 

[jeteater1]

Well if you have tickets. Better get your ass there now . It's going off tonight because of weather tomorrow.

 

[Mr. C]

Place is empty. I was just flipping channels and got lucky I guess and saw it was on now.
I wonder how much notice people who bought tickets for on the day change.

 

[Desert Whaler]

Shit …. I don’t get FS1 …. Oh well.

 

[X Hoser]

You’re not missing anything. Like watching a bunch of Skittles getting flushed down the toilet!
