Little bit of both, I believe. If a part is within its run cycle (the number of passes it will do before they replace it simply because they should), it's still going to be inspected for damage or excessive wear before they put it back in. And that goes for pretty much any major component inside the engine: pistons,…

Nah, I think you might be doing yourself a favor there. Quality sound system would be a huge recommend as well

A little surprised Dust to Glory didn't make the list.

So I just gave GT Racing 2 a shot after reading this article today...

That chassis appears to be equipped with a Logitech G27 wheel/H-pattern/pedalset combo, if that's all you're interested in.

1998 Kia Sephia sedan with the 1.5L popcorn popper/engine. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT-box.

Actually in all seriousness, convicted cheaters usually make the best technical inspectors. Probably not the case in F1, but ask a seasoned racer and that's the general rule of thumb.

My Old Man told me he did that once with a model slot car. He had a totally cheated-up car & put a front bullbar on it (just for some scale looks, it was an old American-style short track stockcar), and everybody got bent out of shape about the bullbar & ignored the rest of the car.

And that's coming from an 800 Spec-class engine!

Yep, Jon Brenthel's #872.

Impressive, sir. Very impressive.

I still get chills watching Mark Post, Alan Pflueger, and Robby Gordon launch off the start line in Dust to Glory (followed by Class 1500 trucks pulling MASSIVE 3-wheels around the first turn).

Amen to that. People seem to always be ready to give the Solstice flak for one reason or another, but from where I'm sitting they're neat little cars, they're fun to drive (so I'm told, the closest I've been is the SCCA Showroom Group B car on iRacing), and they look both unique AND good.

Because racetruck

It's times like this I remember just how much I love my '98 2.2L Chevrolet S10 2WD that I paid $4K for, rock solid and with only 80K miles on it (now well over 160K and despite a few new creaks & rattles still going strong)

Dust to Glory genuinely changed my life & showed me where I want to go with my future. I grew up in the Midwest with a family that was involved in a lot of short track racing, but the past decade or so hasn't been kind to the sport. A lot of tracks have been closing up & many of the properly done teams have either…

Yessir.

It wasn't just the automobile industry, like Mate said it's pretty much responsible for offroad racing in North America as we see it today.

Perfect examples of "age vs. care":
