Tallest Nascar Driver

Thanks to for emojis! So they updated the rule to even things out for heavier drivers, yet they continue to allow drivers under the 139# threshold to get a small advantage, or as much as 30 pounds for someone like Danica.

Sure, 30 pounds doesn't sound like much when you're talking about ~3300 pound cars, but any weight that can be added to the frame rails rather than the driver seat is a huge bonus. Hell, you even see the plastic electrical ground cutoff switches and shifters with holes drilled in them to save mere grams. At big tracks like Plate/MI/CA/etc the difference would be negligible since a heavier driver/car could help compress the car lower to the ground, but at small non-aero tracks that weight can make a difference. It just seems obvious to me that if you're going to make changes for the heavier drivers to make things as fair as possible, the same should be done to the other side of the spectrum.

New for this year, all cars are sent through an optical scanning station. This station measures the entire body of the car. That’s opposed to the previous method of measuring select sections. Now, the entire car is scanned and the entirety of the body is checked. But, it’s not just the surface that needs to pass the scan. It also needs to be centered within the rules.

Chinese miracle flash tool free download. Can install the official USB driver for specific brand and model, read the firmware files, write the firmware files, and format the hard drive of the phone and much more than that.

In previous season, teams have built a body that fits the rules, then they skew it off to one side. The idea there is to prevent drag in a straight line. Then, when the car goes into the corner, the edges pop out into the air and it creates downforce, only when needed. The optical scanning station fixes that. But, even with all the technology, some thing can’t be checked at the race track. Several cars are collected after each race.

They are taken back to Concord, North Carolina were they’re disassembled. But, what are the details of that process? NASCAR R&D Center Inspection Process “As our fans will notice while they’re at the race track, when the race is over, we’ll capture cars on pit road,” NASCAR VP of Officiating and Technical Inspection, Elton Sawyer explained to ‘The Morning Drive’ via SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

“As we go through the playoffs, we would capture the 16 playoff cars. We run them through a post-race inspection at the race track.

We do heights, weights and the optical scanning station.” For those cars, they’ll also plug a computer into the engine. That’s to download the data and make sure it’s up to spec with the regulations. In the first three races, all 16 playoff cars line up on pit road for that inspection. In the next round, it’s 12 and 8 in the current round.
