Clipping toenails is more exciting than sitting on a couch watching
television commercials interrupted by guys driving weird cars around an
oval.

Realistically, though, slot car racing on a nice sized and banked
commercial track of mid 1960s was more exciting, and there were fewer
commercial interruptions.

I really think the race oughta stop for commercial breaks. IT would
create many more opportunities for pile-ups.

Yeah, but you are stupid when it comes to racin'. Kind of like a guy
that says he can run a Vista machine based on the fact that he used to
program in cobol. Stick to your heritage classes and your buddy stumpy

Exactly!!! Thanks for helping me help you to understand! His care was
"missing a little something", so that he could run wide open. I'm

What about the other quotes from drivers in the race?

"KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 M&Ms Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing Finished: 4th
After
leading the most laps, can you talk about your feelings at the finish?
It
was a good day. We had the dominant car all day long. I could hold it
wide
open every single lap of the race."


"Handling - the all important indice - being able to stay in the
drafting
pack that is moving forward. The rest comes down to who is with you on
the
last lap and how close you are on tire wear. The car and driver most
capable
of running wide open laps on older tires will separate himself from
the rest
of the field at Daytona - and the final element is pure luck."

While I'm just a lurker here I have to chime in and agree with Sam. I
know for a fact that the drivers run Daytona wide open the majority of
the time. They only let off slightly when drafting close, have
excessive tire wear, bad handling, or are in a tight situation on the
track. Most drivers are wide open 99% of the time at Daytona (I still
enjoy watching it though)

It's the exceptions you listed. Those exceptions are the rule in race
trim and around 40 other cars. Daytona is rough as hell, too. Now when
qualifying yes, the are matted the whole time. You listen to the in
car audio well the next time. You'll hear them burping the throttle a
lot.

I watched the whole race on Directv's Hot Pass and mostly watched the
Jr. channel. Never saw/heard him lift at all unless he was behind
someone with nowhere to go. That includes 3 wide in the corners.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked the race

I didn't think anyone was banging their head against the wall. We like
the COT at Daytona, you don't, bfd... It's not like we are the only
ones who are sitting around with mixed feelings, hey, it's car racing,
and we are talking about a huge change to the cars. To the basketball
guys, imagine the NBA deciding to raise the net a foot or so, so they
have to actually shoot again? Or the tennis net up a couple of inches
to slow down the serve.. In a few years when the teams sort out this
COT, I think it will be better. Yes, they can ride wide open now. Is
it that the car will stick forever, or do you think there might be
some more speed in there they have not found yet. Do you not think
NASCAR is watching this too?? Anyway, here is a litte joke I told my
kid the other day:

My youngest asked me why they always turn left. I said, "because
racin' started in the south, they forgot about right!"...

Sorry Loogie, it's just racin' ;)

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.

Is gordon as good as this guy:

http://www.stirlingmoss.com/

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.

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;)

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

There are only two drivers I dislilke more than Jeff Gordon -
strangely both of them are also Hendricks drivers - Ernhardt and
Johnson.

Johnson is also gay by the way.

Not sure about Ernhardt yet.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.
