Damn, man if I had the scratch I'd buy the seat right next to you!

Actually, Montreal is a closer venue for me, but alas I didn't make it
there either.

I was going to make a post I'd hoped you'd pick up on; 1. what happened to
Alonso? I leave for 5 minutes to have a 'seat in the executive lounge' and
I come back and he's off! And I also thought that was a bogus call on, er,
you know, what's his name!

And I was rooting AGAINST M. Schumacher! Back in 1994 or '95, I told my
wife, "Watch this guy, he's going to be GREAT!" Well, I guess I was right!
But he's TOO great. He's even worse than Mansell was in...er...'95? When
the only person he had to lap was himself!!! Remember that! Well, Schu was
there always near the front of the pack. Then he got signed by
er..Benneton was it? And he actually brought them some success!!! No doubt
Ferrari, the once dominant but now falling star in the F1 world would sign
him. Once they got their um..'stuff' together with the mechanicals and
hired a kick-ass driver it looked like they would be unstoppable! And they
were. This is the first year in a while Schu actually has had some
competition. Coultard and Hakkinen were poised to give him a run there for
a while, but then their mechanicals started to faulter, and Ron Denis just
couldn't hold the team up, and Ferrari started running away.

This looks to be a good season; I wish I still had Speed so I could see
more of it. I don't think CBS is going to broadcast this one, so let me
know what happens.

Of course, if you have $400 or so you don't know what to do with, I'll
give you an account number! ;)

It's things like that, that are making WRC, and touring cars the more
popular spectator (live and TV) events. Things happen. Cars break, cars
roll, leads get beaten. It isn't just parade lap after parade lap.

Really! Where the f@ck did THAT come from. And, you have to run the same
engine for two races!!! What if it gets damaged in the first race?

So the driver has to take more care of the f*ing engine....

you cross the finish line...now that was racing...LOL

Yup, I remember those days. Remember when NASCAR was young, and you could
run on a shoestring? Scan the ads in the paper, find the hottest car you
could for as cheap as you could, strip it, make a few mods to the engine
and drive it at Talledega on Sunday afternoon?

THAT was Stock-car racing! The downside? A lot of accidents that people
walk away from today were fatal...

I went to school in North Carolina back in the peak of the 'moonshine'
days (where NASCAR 'really' started)....lol

Thunder Road was filmed fairly close to my digs.

What a game.... revenoooores after the good ole boys...

Them feds did NOT win much...and NASCAR got its start.
