Seriously, is anyone going to be at the race in Phoenix this weekend? I'll be wearing my 914 club hat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/givemebeer.gif)

Anything I say in reply here will be misconstrued by the uninitiated, laughed at heartily by those who have some knowledge of me, and still illegal in South Carolina.

You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,622 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None

I'm not a real NASCAR fan, I do watch a race from time to time, but I do love to watch when they run on a road course. Most of them do fine until they have to turn right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Now Indy or CART racing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |

It sucks when I hear on the news who won a race, and I've never heard of the kid.
Then they show his picture and he looks like the kid that just delivered my pizza. Ryan, Jason, etc... <_< Paul |

Funny someone should bring this up. They want to build a Nascar track some 6 miles from my house. Fucking bastards. Why don't they select some place that doesn't have 20000+ residents within a 10 mile radius? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Racing rocks, any kind rocks, but not when it is next to schools, homes and playgrounds. We have other tracks in WA that are at least not dumped in the middle of a residential area. Friggen ICS, what a bunch of pricks. It's all about the money. OH! Yeah, they are going to put in 50mil to help build the track. Big friggen woopeedoo. The tax payers will have to cough up (Bend over) the other 250mil for the track and another 300mil for road improvements etc.
Nascar can go to hell as far as I am concerned these days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) |

I don't like Nascar but I sure would love the chance to take one of my cars out and run some laps at Indy or Daytona.

NASCAR BLOWS!
In my view (aside from the inability to turn R. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) If you can pass someone without putting them in to the wall or on the apron AGAIN AND AGAIN AGAIN.. Thats not racing thats bumber cars. Incidental contact I understand but week in and week of in NASCAR, BUSH, CRAFTSMAN ect ...Ill pass. Ya wanna watch exciting RACING, Ive said it befor watch Bikes, AMA, WSB, MotoGP, you wont be disapointed. Dan Im feeling for you man, Not only is Marysville a poor place to put a track, but it's a Friggin Supper speedway! Why not a road course? Oh I forgot we already have a road course in a rural area. Boy I guess it would make too much sense to buy, or Lease that venue and improve it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

How I would change NASCAR...
1. Sprint races only, 10-20 laps max.... 2. A jam car that runs in the opposite direction..... NOW THAT WOULD BE ENTERTAINMENT!!! |

OK, you take a 3700 lb car, make it go 210 mph and hold onto to it, whether it be turning left or on a road course.

Ya Jam car Sure. I bet all the car owners would love that one. I bet they would really be inclined to sink tons of money into a high performance machine so it WILL get wrecked every week.
At least with NASCAR you get to see your team every week and never subject to blackouts. Oh yea "Go Lowes team"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If my car wasn't yellow I would paint it blue. Hey the grey project orinally was white so that one is fair game. |

Slits you should really cut back on on huffing your own exhaust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
Try sitting atop a sub-400lb Bike and doing 210Mph then turn RIGHT AND LEFT ! STOCK CARS THAT ARENT STOCK BLOW CHUNKS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |

As someone else once said " If I wanted to watch something go around in circles for 3 hours I would tie a sock to my dogs tail" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
One of the guys in the office is a Nascar fan and he has convinced me that it would be a blast to get 5 guys together, fly to California, rent a Winnebago, get infield tickets to Calfornia Speedway and spend the 3 days partying in the infield. If we got 5 guys together it would only cost us about $1500 Canadian ($1200 US) per person. Not too bad for a getaway. |

Who can come up with the best breakdown of the NASCAR acronym (ie: FORD Found On Road Dead, FIAT Fix It Again Tony, CHEV Canadian Hutterite Escape Vehicle, DODGE Do Or Die Goes Everywhere) There must be some talented people who can come up with something. Here's my first attempt:
