Nascar and Slot Car Racing at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway - 3/6/2011

[@westonatwood7932]

I remember doing this at Loudon as a kid, it hasn’t come back since about 2007

[@dchaffin6219]

When I won my autographed Darrel Waltrip hat at Atlanta I was the only car left running. I did the same think Tyson did, slowed my lap times down after the third caution and rode around. IN the prerace when they explaining the "gas pedal" I was looking to see what ohm the controller was. I wanted to know how fast it would react. I liked the spech about not unhooking someone elses wires and suggested just the red wire which is the brake and the only wire the car will run with unhooked.

I won on the Fireball speedway at the St. Louis Speedway in 2010 and got a autographed piece of Tony Stewart car. Very good slot car track and cars.

@GHOSTJERKER Hi! Yes, the inside lanes do have an advantage! They are shorter and with little or no traffic crossing their lanes! But you have to drive them more carefully as they have the tighter turns as you saw the purple lane next to Tyson come off towards the end because he pushed the car to hard. Tyson being an experienced driver knew exactly when to brake at the proper time. (watch his hand while he raced)

[@djbrent99]

Think about it from a fan point of view, with Nascar, every fan can see the entire race as it progresses. The track is contained in one area. With F1 you only see the cars as they pass in front of you. If lead changes or accidents happen on another part of the track, you don't see it. Obviously, this doesn't apply if you watch the race on TV.

[@BrettMKW]

I do this every year at New Hampshire when he comes there, I've won an autographed hat by Denny Hamlin, another by Kurt Busch back when he drove the 2. I also have a signed JR Motorsports hat by Dale Jr and Danica, that one was pretty cool. He wasn't here this year tho, at least not at the September race on the Sunday.

[@jamesbreedlove6396]

I miss NASCAR, it’s not the same anymore 😭😔

[@mp777red]

the guy on the inside track has a huge advantage

[@TheRealBmanswan]

Actually he doesn't. The middle tracks have more advantage because they have wider turns and longer stretches to gain speed. They have to turn less sharp which gives them the ability to gain more speed. The inside track has the major disadvantage since you can't speed as much and need to go slower on the inside.

[@hazysativa3045]

Inside lost

[@michaelburke750]

Nope, he doesn’t... really.

[@GHOSTJERKER]

Awesome! Hey Mick, does the inside lane have more of an advantage on these oval tracks?

[@BagaSand]

Yea obviously

[@elevatorproductionsbymaxpassa]

This looks like the slot car track at the Big E in West Springfield, MA. It does NASCAR racing on it.

[@R8wdy]

dude, the big E? i was there with my cousins from N.H!

[@MontanaMetal]

Very cool! what's the footprint of the track?

[@mickyvegas]

@POTS127 Yeah that was pretty fun to do. Thank you, I had a really nice Sony HD camera with a nice zoom lens. :)

[@colinc5252]

only real car lovers noticed the orange supra in the background

[@russvorhees8985]

Samurai X lol truu

[@Honkahonky]

A ricer?

[@ruffles4501]

i know the fireball speed way from pocono matt has done an unreal job with the slot cars..... i have many of things from him at pocono with some of the fastest times lol

[@trevorgwelch7412]

The inside track has a shorter route

[@ryanhagge7695]

isn't the car on the inside track almost always going to win? just play it safe...

[@ThatsSoReptii]

+Ryan Hagge thats what i was saying!

[@chittychad18]

Ryan Hagge not always true. the 2nd or 3rd groove can carry more speed without risking leaving the track

[@gary49er1]

no

[@janebook294]

IN REAL SLOT CAR RACING THE RACE IS RUN IN EIGHT THREE TO FIVE MIN.. HEATS AT THE END OF EACH HEAT THE CARS ROTATE LANES SO THAT EACH CAR GETS APPROX EQUAL LAP LENGTHS OVER THE COURSE OF THE RACE ! A QUALIFIER IS HELD WITH EACH DRIVER RUNNING THREE LAPS ,THE FASTEST TIME GETS STARTING LANE CHOICE WHICH ALSO DETERMINES THE LANE ON WHICH THAT DRIVER WILL FINISH THE RACE !

[@redactedrider7606]

@@janebook294 your caps broken or something there?

[@BrettMKW]

You go to the New Hampshire race?

[@parmanascar1782]

I liked those cars, they were proly stock 16d's but they were cool looking, my parma is real fast, its all parma but with a Pro slot super 16 d modded lol

[@jonahgoodwin7669]

I know I love the slot cars cars there too! :D

[@huggybear2789]

That Supra at 1:57 is sick!

[@Hofsan]

Nice! Alan Parsons Project!!

[@aswanggaming7379]

start of true race 4:40 thanks me with the like 😊

[@MaverickIIOfficial]

I saw one of these at a local fair...it was pretty fuckin awesome.

[@Eddybarrett84]

That’s is a SMALL TRACK COMPARED TO MOST YOU SEE

[@parmanascar1782]

the motor in my pic is the same motor in my slotcar but mine has aftermarket magnents and others lol

[@Eddybarrett84]

I wish they opening another one in Augusta Ga. near the Augusta national,people from all over the world come to town, enter deuce him just something they may enjoy, hey have plenty $4

[@fisherisbell759]

I think the rules were stupid. The inside obviously would win

[@Samichninja]

whooo! Jeff Gordon!

[@theheadcamman]

I am making a fair point I don't mind NASCAR I just prefer F1 but I don't get how NASCAR goes round in circles that's it

[@vilemmitlohner5810]

Much stupid track. The ideal route is always shaped "eight" with the overpass. Cars are all equally long haul.

[@codeman99-dev]

Ok then. There is nothing wrong with an oval for slot cars, but you race with a fixed timer. Then rotate lanes. The driver (or car) who completes the most laps is the winner.

[@jameseveland6718]

The winner was going slow the whole race he was smart

[@theheadcamman]

okay i respect you guys liking nascar but the one thing i find wierd about it is that there just going round in circles it makes really bored thats why i watch f1

[@mikep4823]

Ok this is complete bull. Usually they will switch tracks after so many laps and you go to the the next rail and its counted overall with the laps done. Bottom guy on a Sunday drive while the top rail is at full speed lol. But all for fun wish i had this track at home would make a nice piece to enjoy.

[@paulhager7149]

Jeff Gordon

[@toastyburgerz3078]

Jimmie Johnson

[@AmIonArock]

The inside track did not win. I thought this was one of the better races I've seen because of the rules. Very fair, good job. Great M.C. work as well. This was old school racing. Saying all that there is that drawback to track fairness and its always been part of it. Sizzlers on a fat track did not have that problem. But no skill was needed to win just the fastest car.

[@KENDOTMA]

red long is right

[@Lugh444]

I came here cause of Mel.

[@scottsmith7553]

cool

[@harrihiltunen1244]

looks good ...

[@theheadcamman]

okay fair point :)

[@TheQuixoticEnd]

For a "Nascar" sponsored race they know hardly anything about how slot racing works.. must've just been a "pay to enter" race

[@henriks5008]

Stupidest track ever, inside lane has a clear advantage.

[@vilemmitlohner5810]

On the inside lane, you dont need high speed.

[@daveramoutar7180]

Cool caution to early

[@vanillagorilla8236]

Boogety boogety boogety.

[@JeffWeselyan]

I hate the rule of it

NO

[@KayoMichiels]

Will you guys stop bitching about F1 and NASCAR and who is better than the other, both are the same: racing with another.
