Just out of curiosity.. er. what's the fastest care you own? Could
it beeeeeeeeeeeeee a frekin' Cheby???

Ahem...um...er...

Yes. :)

Yes indeed....

Although technically, it's not a Chevy.

It's a Corvette.

Made by GM, but it's not a Chevy.

One Ford in the top ten?? I mean he's in first, but there are two laps
and he is surrounded by the enemy

It's a conspiracy by GM - all their Chevy drivers took out the Ford
drivers.

What's the matter - your Chevy drivers can't keep their cars straight?

Damn - my wife drives better than that.

Gets to the almost front and then slows down through the middle of the pack

NASCAR has a reputation of letting their "stars" get away with

with the COT, it's just a joke.

Yeah, if you want to see racin' like that, you have to go to your
local track on Friday Night, but it's still better than Basketball

I hear ya... growing up, I had two uncles that built and raced dirt
track cars. *One was in my home town, and my Dad did most of the
fabricating on his car. *While my Dad was (and is) a machinist by
trade, he was also a good bodyman and mechanic. *He'll be 82 this
June, and while he's slowed a bit, he's still doing well.

Here's a pic of one of my uncle's car:http://members.fortunecity.com/oldsprinter/skee14.jpg

He was pretty famous in the area, always placing in the top 3, and
winning most races. *Pretty cool... I hadn't thought about him in a
while. *He's been dead for about ten years now. *Great guy.- Hide quoted text -

I used to spend almost every summer Saturday night in the pits
wrenching on my cousin's sprint car. Good times! Have to fight your
way out of the infield sometimes!
