No sunlight, no problem. I had a friend in high school who hid his grass under his dresser and it was still good…. Or so he told me.

When I was growing up in- gasp- North Dakota we frequently got our first snow around Halloween but most of it was gone by Easter. For most of November through March the grass was under inches to feet of snow or snirt, as we called the windblown mixture of snow and dirt. But lo and behold, by May the grass usually needed to be mowed once more.

I'm guessing even grass in SOCAL goes dormant in the winter
As I was thinking- https://www.turfnet.com/news.html/c...etic-field-to-racetrack-and-back-again-r1658/
“The grass is toast. The concert and the race were scheduled around the idea of this being resodded.“

My takeaway from watching at the stadium last eve.
This 500 will be interesting again!
So many changes to the car itself this year, and in-person they look
Terrific. And their exhaust note is noticeable different, very short exhaust stack that now exits behind the front wheels.
They handle well, that was evident. What the change to rack & pinion steering has in that, is to be determined.
The single lug nut adaptation will change pit stops and place more importance on the driver; good.
I’ll take any Ford Sunday over the others…

Congratulations to Austin Cindric winning the Daytona 500. I worked at Penske Racing for 12 years in the engine shop & then for 8 years in the Roush-Yates Ford engine shop. Austin's father is the general manager of Penske Racing. Austin is a great kid he always comes by the shop with donuts after a win & talks to everyone. Very few drivers ever come by the engine shop.
Looks like some kinks in new car operations and some good field testing at some teams expense. A spinfest for sure in Fontana and inability to drive off from flats with 19” wheels and very slim sidewalls. Think they said working on a solution in next few weeks . Waiting for a tow sure takes a lot of time.
The center lug misfire took Byron out of contention in a blink. Operator error it seems with reverse threads on left side? That huge socket splines were toast!
The bodies do seem to take some serious hits and keep rolling though. Overheating with new air duct system, transaxle/ driveline feel and sequential shifting issues for other’s.
Was good seeing Mark Martin up in the booth. Cool cat!
Thought Tyler Reddick had it for sure… but that’s racin’!

Supposedly for the same reason. It was easy to mess up.
