such a breath of fresh air to race, and watch these street stocks without folks trying to absolutely take advantage of the fact these cars have really good ... slide traction? like... you can drive them on the RR, so contact can happen and not really get ya turned. What we experienced here is what happens when you still trying to be a racer, but do so as if this equipment matters and that's the thing we miss usually online vs. real life. If I wreck these things in real life, I can't transfer, I have to fix it, and heck I just learned that sometimes you can't get them on the truck if they destroyed. By being extremely strict with the racing, you have re-created this scenario probably the best that i've seen in any league at this time
What a great group top to bottom putting on some awesome racing. 50 sign ups and no bad eggs is a great place to be. I really like the new street stocks, while I probably won't spend the money on them, it adds a visual benefit to the races and makes the racing look so much better.
That was alot of fun. Late caution in the B main cost me my spot in the feature but it was fun driving through the field. Hope to make it out to more of these, love the format, thanks for hosting!
Had a blast with this one. Watching the heats and prelims alone was great, saw lots of exciting yet clean racing. Thanks for putting this on and I'm looking forward to the next one!
Wow can’t believe the creativity and ideas already thrown at painting the new street stocks! Great series, really hope to find time to run with you at some point this season.
Hey Nick, I'm a fan and have been following you for a bit and I sooo appreciate your dedication and genuine love for what you do ❤!! I value the way you take on so many roles in the race, you're an inspiration and a great teacher of the physical and mental and technical aspects of this environment!! You describe it in the details we need as future racers!
Great video, lots of good saves in the heat races! IMO, the incident that ultimately took you out wasn't all on the 04. He was aggressive to get down to the inside, but I also think the 3 didn't have the position below him and should have given more room on entry. It's one thing to try and keep someone pinned on the outside lane if you're on their door or rear quarter down the straight, maybe as far back as their bumper and have that position on the inside lane, but if you're trailing the car on your outside by a car length down the straight, you have to expect that car to come down and fill the spot on entry. If the 3 had anticipated that, I think he would have had the opportunity to pass the 04 low on corner exit after the 04's bobble. All in all, still an unfortunate incident that could have been avoided. Hate it for you that you didn't get the chance to race it out; it's never fun to get knocked out as an innocent bystander and have to sit on the sidelines.
Sorry that I didn't make it to the grid Nick. I registered for the session but then my computer crashed unexpectaadely. I clicked the 'withdraw' button to leave the event before I'd manage to connect at all. Didn't want to be having technical issues and potentially ruining someone elses race by blinking out. Bummed I missed it, looked like a great event.
@@sicfrynut Thanks for saying. I felt a bit guilty when I saw my name still on the driver list in Nick's video but I wasn't there to race. Hate to have to no-show.
@@kneebon5 Apologies Nick, it's a relief it didn't get to max numbers. Didn't know hosted sign-ups work like that. Glad it worked out ok with the 5 heats. Won't be doing that again.
Was a great event, very sad I got spun out turn 1 in Heat 4 and I couldn't make up the time in E main but I felt like I got better and learned a lot about short tracks and setups. It was very fun and I am so excited to keep doing more!
Fun racing but unfortunately such short heats/mains didn't allow for many passes do to the tires not falling off quick enough. Last thing I wanted to do was bulldoze through people to try and get positions. But the Bullring is more fun than I expected
all i have with the street stocks since this update is an ai race at sobo and martinsville, with the added variety i think they might be my favorite car on the service now. i forgot how much fun they are to drive because of how bored i was with the camaro lol
Definitely wasn’t expecting to have the speed to transfer out of the B-Main. I should of just got to the bottom in my heat race as quick as possible instead of trying to make the outside work.
that was fun !! i miss my local track. are the front brake rotors glowing on some of these cars ?? the 160 did, and i thought another one did from the D main as well. or do I need to clean my glasses ?
IDK why iRacing made these fake street stocks. Same physics as the camaro which is bs because monte carlos don't have rear leaf springs. Huge let down.
Its the same thing they have done for trucks, xfinity, cup, 87s, and what they have always done on oval because oval drivers would whine otherwise that it was unfair one car was faster than the other

I second this. Rubbin is racing
I really need to pay more attention so I can get in on this stuff 😂
This was SO much fun! Thanks for putting this all together so we can come out and enjoy good racing! Appreciate you!

I had a ball racing with you guys. I just knew it would be a caution fest and I totally missed that call. Catch ya on the next one

This was a lot of fun, excited for the rest of the season hopefully I can make atleast 1 of these A mains

This was so much fun. Can’t believe I messed up my recording. Excited for the rest of the season!

Great racing and great fun as always. Thanks for putting it on Nick hate that you got killed in like the only true wreck of the night lol.
was that a historical plate on your car ? if so, nice touch!
@@sicfrynut I don’t think so I was just running a Mark Martin ASA throwback

thumbs up to you for thinking of other drivers first instead of what's best for yourself. more people should try to follow your example.
@@sicfrynut Thanks for saying. I felt a bit guilty when I saw my name still on the driver list in Nick's video but I wasn't there to race. Hate to have to no-show.
With hosted once you sign up you take a spot, didnt matter since we didn't get to max, and helped because we got 5 heats due to it

Watching these videos is better than actually watching nascar
That's more a commentary on what NASCAR has become, but these vids are great
Funny the Camaro will now become the cool street stock that isn't on track too much
Fun racing but unfortunately such short heats/mains didn't allow for many passes do to the tires not falling off quick enough. Last thing I wanted to do was bulldoze through people to try and get positions. But the Bullring is more fun than I expected
The B-main was humbling. By the time our caution came out, our races were already over ha.
Super fun. Outside 3rd row for the B-main didn’t help me at all ha. On to the next one.
unfutunate start to the season. But man that was really fun to watch. great racing! 3 cautions in 10 races is not to bad.
This looks awesome im definitely not fast enough to race with yall haha
Fun racing even if I was only there to make up the numbers.
❤
all i have with the street stocks since this update is an ai race at sobo and martinsville, with the added variety i think they might be my favorite car on the service now. i forgot how much fun they are to drive because of how bored i was with the camaro lol
This was fantastic and great racing.
Fun car! I bumped someone in the d main and my motor was gonna blow soon but the race ended. These cars are sensitive to that I guess.
Definitely wasn’t expecting to have the speed to transfer out of the B-Main. I should of just got to the bottom in my heat race as quick as possible instead of trying to make the outside work.
Irwindale should be interesting with multiple grooves in 3/4 hopefully will open up some chances
The 2 races I was able to do were fun. Hoping to find more speed with these things for next week.
You ain’t beating me
that was fun !! i miss my local track. are the front brake rotors glowing on some of these cars ?? the 160 did, and i thought another one did from the D main as well. or do I need to clean my glasses ?
brakes definitely glow on some but i'm pretty sure it's a visual effect although i think brake heat does affect from tires a bit
Yeah not sure if all of them do or if its prediction code assume they glow
In the D main I was the 70 strohs car. You can see my brakes glowing alot.
You were trying to type something administrative and didn't see them tangling on the bottom before the 3 came up and over.
rubbing is racing and they need to cater to that with grip. Seems realistic like a sim should be
was cheering on Dakota purely for using a paint of mine. Then it plays a key part in the crash....
is there any open spots to join nick? id love to join if so
How does a hack like me get in on this?

Joined Discord - tried a message but guess you need to accept my request first, made it that far 👍
You just need to apply in the k5 application section
You're not wrong about him trying too hard to force the inside line, but that was just one of those racing deals, shame you got the worst of it
