@iamskchow Of course they never changed it. Why mess with perfection?

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@stegall97 @bobpockrass The problem really is both. Aero push means they can't run close. But also the grip level on short tracks with these cars is so high that it makes mistakes less frequent and less punishing. Mistakes like getting loose on throttle are what give you good opportunities for passing.

@CFster @champwebdotnet @alunserjr It's a Tamiya model, I used their Newman/Haas Lola kit as a base with aftermarket decals from https://t.co/FTssUaE1Lz to customize it.

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

I built a 1/20 scale model of the IndyCar @alunserjr drove in his final win in Valvoline colors, the 1993 Molson Indy Vancouver. One of the best looking race cars ever!

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@pablohabibe @alunserjr Surprisingly not. Galles switched to Lola for 1993 instead of running their own chassis.

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@DougFAST2 @alunserjr Al Jr switched to Penske and the Marlboro livery in '94. Here is that '93 race, a very entertaining race actually, worth watching! https://t.co/BamzQzvT2U I did a ton of research to make sure the decals I used were as accurate as possible to this specific race.

@wbeckermedia Still amazed this didn't make the cut for the album. Great tune and vibe, it would fit right in on Circus Money.

30 years ago this weekend, we were treated to the best @NASCAR all star race on One Hot Night @CLTMotorSpdwy. I built scale models of all 3 cars involved in that amazing finish, and I photoshopped the models into real pictures from the race. @DaleJr @kylepetty @Lizallison28

@RPanko92 @RaceSimCentral I remember that video, it was a brief trailer. I had saved the link for it years ago, but it's unfortunately gone from YouTube now.

@drewhuntre You're very welcome. These are some of the best music recordings in the world, they deserve to be seen in the best quality so I am happy to work on cleaning them up and sharing them.

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@wbeckermedia Why you gotta hurt my brain like that???

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@RaceSimCentral If I remember right, this game was one of the few to have Louisville Motor Speedway in it. Unfortunately it was horribly modeled and barely resembled the real track.

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@iamskchow Looking incredible! Gotta say the bridge part reminds me of Virtua Racing

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@jamestaylor @ReflexiveYawn The idea for GodWhacker was Fagen's according to his book. He started writing lyrics for it after his mom died and Becker helped him finish it.

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@ReflexiveYawn A great thought. I can't imagine how rough it would have been for Walter to sing about his actually missing '54 Strat though!

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@Jhtaylor1954 @ReflexiveYawn @TheNightflyWJAZ I'm not familiar with this particular release, but the song order is identical to what they did for the opening of the shows in 1993, except Green Flower Street where Hey 19 would normally be. Here are two example 1993 concerts: https://t.co/npCOFSK0vU and https://t.co/ijMFuDnje2

@iamskchow I've seen a glitch similar to this twice in ICR2. During a caution period, the ai just suddenly stopped and sat at an angle on the track indefinitely. Simulating a red flag I guess lol

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@iamskchow @MusicCityGP If you need any further proof how awesome this is, I just heard @DaleJr mention this mod in his podcast interview with @josefnewgarden

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@iamskchow That's neat. They are a big part of the ICR2 aesthetic in my opinion, and they can be useful for helping find a good braking point sometimes.

[Dan Belcher @DanBelcher]

@RaceSimCentral SODA isn't a game you hear about often, but good grief did I ever play it a lot! The physics were great, and the easy to use but powerful track editor was a game changer. I still fire it up occasionally to this day!
