I'm guessin' you are on your laptop with the hkrause handle, still out
west I presume? You should turn on FOX (entertainment network) and
check out what racin' has turned to. The day started with ZZ Top on
stage and some other stars. The production and crossover decisions the
sport has taken on in the last decade is facinting, just from a
business/PR point of view, and we all know you have a secret crush on
Jeff Gordon anyway.... I won't hold my breath though.


I'm in Coronado, CA, a little town on a spit of land sort of south of
San Diego. Just changed the clock on my laptop, which just got to me
because the frippin' airline "misplaced my luggage."

Dunno a Jeff Gordon, but I am guessing he is a stock car racer. I don't
follow that sort of racing, and barely follow Formula 1 or sports car
racing.

The best driver never to win the World Championship, Sir Stirling Moss
OBE is arguably the greatest all-round racing driver of all time. Known
during his career as ‘Mr Motor Racing’ he began hillclimbing a Cooper
500 in 1948 at the age of 18. His early career was meteoric and soon he
was driving works cars for Jaguar and HWM. In 1955 he was signed up by
Mercedes-Benz to partner World Champion Fangio. That year Stirling
shadowed the great Argentine in most Grands Prix, beating him to win the
British GP. Famously, that year he won the incredible Mille Miglia, the
Targa Florio and the Tourist Trophy – all legendary sports car races.



For four years he would finish runner-up in the World Championship and,
after M-B retired, led the Maserati and Vanwall teams. He also continued
to drive saloon and sports cars and during his remarkable career drove
more 80 different types of car.



In the late 50s and early 60s, he led the changeover to rear-engined F1
cars, achieving the first victory for such a car at the 1958 Argentine
GP and was in a class of his own during this period. A near-fatal
accident ended it all in 1962 but he was to remain a superstar to this
day. One of the original jet-setters, he still dashes round the world
fulfilling engagements and competing in historic racing.

Harry must be staying ar the older than dirt Hotel Coronado. In it's day it
was a pretty nice place.
Who in his right mind would leave any expensive gear in the care of any
airline. Delta lost our luggage on a trip to Greece last summer. Airlines
s**k. Carry on all valuables and necessities including meds and a few days
worth of necessary clothing.

This one is an old, old laptop, and not worth much more than U.S.
currency these days. I keep the "data" on a USB drive, not on the hard
drive. No biggie if it turns up missing forever.

LOL, you said the exact thing almost last time JG came up, Then you
said you googled him and knew who he was.. Short memory, tough when
you are making it up to remember what you said only three weeks ago
Is gordon as good as this guy:

Is he "this gay", yes, he probably is.. I mean, look at the car,
listen to him talk... he is gay. But he can sure run the wheels off
a racecar


Well, obviously Gordon didn't make much of an impression on my memory.
There's no reason why he would, as I am not a fan of left turn only race
cars or their drivers.
