Other Sports Did Tony Stewart Kill Someone Tonight? - Page 54

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 08-09-2014, 10:18 PM

I'm seeing it on Twitter. On my phone and can't link. One of his fans says he ran over someone on a yellow and should be arrested for it.

**SAUTO** · 08-11-2014, 06:54 PM

Oh maybe that it's the same track that he caused a seventeen car pileup just last year that sent two to the hospital.

Oh yeah the most definitely needed fact that 820 miles away there were other drivers getting ready to race...

But yeah, lighten up Sally.

It's also the most recent you dumb mother****er. If you knew one goddamn thing about stock car racing you'd know that kind of shit has been going on as long as the sport has been around.

OMG LOOK AT THESE THUGS!!!

^ @ Bug

The kid was running out on a dirt track where cars are drifting in his invisible pedestrian costume and got hit. Any questions?

**chefsos** · 08-11-2014, 10:14 PM

I've only got one thing to say at this time.

This might be the greatest gif I ever saw.

Anyone who has made more than two laps in a midget or winged sprint is laughing their asses off at half the comments in this thread.

I don't think Stewart had intent to hit him (maybe scare him)

What about the dash cam in Stewarts car? Has it come available yet?

I believe that's what happened. Stewart revved that car up... probably wanted to shower him with dirt... make a point... but he killed the guy.

It's an accident, for sure. He didn't mean to do it. But he did mean to make a point.... and it ended in a death.

54-page thread and no one thought to research Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints, a 360 Sprint-Car Series. Maybe I missed the posts. However, it is not as simple to watch a 50-second video that ends in death and have a first impression short on racing facts.

As as soon as you see an angled wing on the roof, you know, it is a drifting race. The racecar in front had swerved not to hit the driver.

Dirt racing is different from racing on a paved surface. The paved surface is static. The dirt changes because it is loose and other cars have run over it. As the race goes on, the surface continues to change and is unpredictable. Drivers do not have control of their cars as compared to when racing on pavement.

I want to believe that racing fans understand that actions have consequences. Ward's decision to get out of his car to confront Stewart cost him his life.

Who knew that there were so many racing fans and one racing expert at CP.

are you trying to say they were drifting while on caution?

**SAUTO** · 08-12-2014, 05:32 AM

heres a video, watch the beginning and you will see the car going around at caution speeds. no drifting for sure. it goes right around the track with no blips of the throttle to make it turn.

then watch again at the 4 minute mark, caution.

hell what about the 6 minute mark, how in the world does he turn into the pits without goosing the throttle?

Because many dirt track racing classes as I've said 10 times in this thread use tire stagger to help the car turn. Sprint Cars use a more pronounced stagger. Any car will turn left at caution speeds, they are built to turn left. Now when a Sprint Car is doing 80, 90, 100+ MPH the gas pedal is what turns the car in the corner. Drivers let off for a moment, car takes a set in the corner and they mash the throttle, unless its dry slick and then they have to use throttle control to not spin tires.

I like the whole, "Track surface changing and being unpredictable." I can look at a track surface and tell you what its going to do for car handling. Its far from unpredictable, just requires a drive to make changes to the car, and adjust their driving to the track.
