I grew up in a racing family. Burp.......... They were probably *racing* to get away from him..........can you blame them? :-) Idiot. Well, they're liftin' in California.  "It never rains in southern California..." except for today, but the skies have finally cleared. 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. You trust your laptop to the airlines? |
