Commodore’s Garage #34 – Truck Project: Auto Club Speedway

January 13th, 2018 by Matt Holden

  Somebody needs to mark the calendar because a sign of End Times arrived last night after our Truck race:  Somebody was happy with the way Jeff Parker raced him. All jokes aside, it’s safe to say that our race at Auto Club Speedway was a one-and-done situation because it’s highly unlikely that we’ll be … Read the Rest »

Commodore’s Garage #32 – Myrtle Beach Results

December 27th, 2017 by Matt Holden

The bad news up front:  We were never able to get a race in at Myrtle Beach!  In hindsight, however, it probably wasn’t the best idea to start all this during the week before Christmas.  Still, we did manage to get into a few sessions with regular series drivers and managed to gather quite a … Read the Rest »

Commodore’s Garage #31 – Starting the Truck Project

December 20th, 2017 by Matt Holden

  Last week I teased the next batch of articles that will cover the setup process of our own in-house Class C Truck over the Winter season.  Since this is week 1 and nobody on the team has raced a truck in over a year and a half, we had to start from scratch.  Since … Read the Rest »

Did anybody else notice we have a new build?  I know, it’s a surprise to me as well. This year has been a year of major updates to iRacing’s stock car platforms, and we got a pretty big one right at the end.  To look back at this same time last year and think about … Read the Rest »

Commodore’s Garage #19 – Crossweight

February 10th, 2017 by Matt Holden

  Last week we looked at bump stops, but this week we’re going to cover weight distribution, specifically crossweight.  Why would we move straight from springs to crossweight?  When we dive deeper into bump stops (specifically shims, gap, and contact timing), preloads, and shocks, crossweight is going to come into play a lot.  And I … Read the Rest »

Behind the Scenes: NASCAR Peak Antifreeze Series – Las Vegas

March 17th, 2014 by

There are always three given races each year for us on the #05 team:  1) The race where Nick is in his own zip code and walks off with a win; 2) The race where we get into such a heated argument that I stop pulling tearoffs on Nick’s windshield; and 3) The race where … Read the Rest »
