Auto Racing - February 2007

My hubby & I have been looking for Rhino races in So Cal. Whenever we come across a date it just happened (a day ago) & we never seem to be able to find a website that has a calendar or know someone that just knows.

Anyone out there know of any rhino races coming up soon?

Choices are: Denny Hamlin, JJ Yeley, David Stremme, Reed Sorenson, Martin Truex Jr., and David Gilliland

Explain your response, just blurting out a driver's name isn't persuasive.

And also, a follow-up question, can David Ragan continue his decent start in the 6 car and blow everyone away for the Rookie of the Year award? Or will somebody else rise up and take the award this year? Explain

Anyone know of any sites that still offer updated carsets for the PC version of Nascar Racing 2002 by Sierra? I know it;s rare since the 2003 version, but I never bought that version.

I have been a fan of his for many years.I must say I was a little blown away that their actually people that hate him and his fans.I realize that not everyone likes him but most people including rival drivers respect him.What about him disturbs you bashers the most?

Are some of you missing the end of this story? There has NEVER in NASCAR HISTORY been a successful Owner/Driver. Why does everyone think Dale Jr would be the exception? I think hes proven already that he's not something "special". He is talented, and one hell-of-a driver! As far as owning, operating, managing, and driving for DEI.. It's not a good move. There's no way it'll ever work out in the wash! What are you Dale Jr fans thinking?!

Ok.. So I'm going to be in VEGAS in 2 weekends for the Las Vegas Nextel Cup race and while I'm there I was going to do some betting. What do you think about this bet? NASCAR HOTPASS the past 2 weeks in a row has carried the winner of the race on there programming. So, I'm going to place 5 bets on the 5 NASCAR HOTPASS drivers. Good Idea? or Bad Bet? The drivers that have been chosen are subject to change, but stand right now as -- #2 Kurt Busch, #9 Kasey Kahne, #11 Denny Hamlin, #44 Dale Jarrett, and #?? Wild Card... Also, There's no way I'd bet on Jarrett because MWR doesn't have the equipment to win a race and never will, and neither does Toyota(yet!). So, If you would make this bet, also include who you would pick as your 5th driver! (Kahne, Kurt Busch, Hamlin, Wild Card, and ?Your Pick?)

Let me start by saying I am a huge Nascar FAN and I usually attend three races a year. After a great Daytona 500, I was bored during yesterdays Nextel Cup Race. Flat track racing, do you like it or were you bored to tears as I was. Give me your thoughts.

They've already blown 4 engines this year (2 at Vegas test and 2 at California yesteday). DEI is a 9 figure company; I don't understand why their equipment is not at a Hendrick, Roush, or RCR level. They have the money and the resources. So what's the problem?

Im not the biggest car guy, but I love racing and rember how much fun I had goin down to the track with buddies in highschool and watch them race. I have picked a car (a 75' Monte Carlo, 350) and know were I am goin to race. Just don't know exactly what I need to do. I have lost touch with my buddies that used to race, after I joined the military. So I am kinda clueless, so if some one could tell me were I should start. What should I do to the car, and any other tips.

Like I said Im not a guru, I can turn a wrench and know the basics thats really it. Just lookin to do this for fun, lookin to race in the stock street class, and maybe get into the modified later down the road.

Any help would be appreciated

When you look at the first two races, both cars looked strong, especially Truex. Top 15 for a majority of Daytona, lead 13 laps and got caught up in the wreck that took out Jr. too and they finish 28th and 29th or somewhere around there. Yesterday in Fontana Truex qualified 7th, was up to 4th when his engine blew and then Jr blows up not long after.

Is there any team that has had worse luck so far in the season than DEI? Now sitting at 38th, 40th and Menard in 43rd?

Hendrick is starting the season off strong. 3 of the 4 cars finished in the Top-10 this past weekend with Casey Mears finishing a disappointing 31st. Now w/ the exception of Mears, Busch and Gordon looked great @ Daytona and California.. As for Johnson, He looked good in the late going @ Cali and I don't know what happened to him @ Daytona. No doubt that Gordon, Kyle Busch, and Johnson all make the CHASE this year no PROBLEMS. Mears has his hands full getting that #25 team turned around, and will have some GREAT runs this season, maybe a win or 2.. But won't make the CHASE.. They will lack consistency! Anyone think Hendrick will win another Championship this season? Who's there #1 Threat?! I'd say RCR

Even being a #24 fan, I love Dale Jr. too! Jr. has always been honest, straight talking and responsible to himself and his teammates. He works hard to be the best he can be. But now the DEI team is not supporting him the way they need to. So it is now time to move on. And what better place to go than to Hendrick for the following reasons:

1. Jr can have a dedicated org. that will help him be the best driver he can be.

2. He can help raise Nascar to a higher level of community and help eliminate the current racial and cultural divides.

3. Jr. can escape his Dad's legacy and create his own, as he should.

4. Jr. can help show, thru his current friendships with black and hispanic people, that race has no place in this world.

5. Jr. can rely on the other Hendrick teammates to follow his lead and make the sport of racing, INCLUSIVE to EVERYONE!

Come on Jr. !! Show the world the leader that you are and help change Nascar, and many other people for the Better! Love U Man !!

They are trying to raise awareness for environmental issues by thrashing an F1 car around that struggles to meet 4 miles per gallon, while building millions of engines every year. So they've put a picture of the Earth on their car.. What the hell is that going to proove?

what will they do after 5 races, if one of the premier stars is out of the top 35 and has a bad qualifing day? not everyone is a past champ so they wont have that? right now, junior and truex are out, kahne is boderline and jarret will have used up 5 of his 6 provisionals by then. i just dont see how adding all those teams and not thinking about some of the stars missing races made sense to them.

He had the fastest car in 2005 by far. How can anyone say for sure that he is the fastest?

I honestly think that everyone wants him to be the next flying Finn so they put him on a pedestal that he doesn't deserve to be on. If he wasn't Finnish, no-one would be talking about him as the fastest.

If he was so fast he wouldn't have lost that one on one battle with Montoya in Brazil in 2005. It seemed like whenever Montoya was focused he had the beating of Raikkonen. Heidfeld beat him in 2001 when they were teammates at Sauber and Coulthard beat him in 2002 when they were teammates at Mclaren. Alonso has never been beaten by a teammate. Raikkonen has been beaten twice(2001 to Heidfeld and 2002 to Coulthard).
