Auto Racing - August 2007

Toyota are one of the highest spending teams in F1 and aside from 2004 have been pathetic. They throw loads of money at the cars, have poor drivers, no passion and no history in F1. Like Honda, they dont look like they will ever be serious challengers in F1.

Williams are using the same engine and are well ahead of them in the championship on very limited funds. They are one of the greatest F1 teams of all time and Patrick Head and Frank Williams are pure racers. They also have an immense talent in Nico Rosberg.

No one likes Toyota, they are only a big company participating as part of a marketing ploy. They would get just as much exposure if they supplied Williams with engines, it wouldnt cost as much and they would have a better chance of success and a lot more followers(the japanese would still support them because they would make the engine and Williams have a large fanbase too)

Renault got just as much exposure when they supplied Williams with engines in the 90s as now.

Dale said many times that she was the best thing to ever happen to him, and before he was with Teresa he owed the bank money, but after Teresa started handling the business the bank owed him money. Teresa was the driving force behind starting DEI and the diecast sales business. If the business were to eventually go to the children, it would have to be a 4-way split between Kerry, Kelly, Dale Jr. and Taylor, NOT the 51% that Dale Jr so greedily demnaded. Why is the Red Army not jumping on Jr's case for ruining things at DEI, instead of picking on Teresa?

They don't physically move their bodies at all! It's just driving a car in a circle for hours on end. Even baseball is more of a physical sport than NASCAR!!!

If you want some real athletes, check the NBA & NFL b/c NASCAR is nowhere near a sport.

I know people who drive 100+mph down the highway! Are we gonna start calling them athletes, too!?!?

Here is their careers: They Drive Cars!

And I see that on ESPN twice as much as the sum of boxing, lacrosse, and soccer combined. I'm not crazy about some of those sports, but at least they are sports. At least a human being isn't sitting down the whole time.

Even those ESPN SPELLING BEES are more of a sport than NASCAR!!!

What is wrong with America, and why can't we come up with a better sport than NASCAR!

OK. Now that I'm done, let's hear what you guys have to say...

What do y'all think of that?

I just had to share this with someone. My little sister who works for Lowes just won an all paid expense trip to go to the Bank of America 500 at Lowes Motorspeedway and she is taking me. VIP and Pit Passes plus I get to meet JJ (would rather meet Kenseth) but I aint complaining. 4 day trip and I think we also go to the Busch race too. Talk about lucky.

I made a mistake in my last question and referred to camber instead of caster. I was more interested in the caster of the steering because of the banking. I also noted that in the'70s Chrysler corporation used negative caster in their production models and Ford and GM used positive caster. I remember how my old mopars used to steer in reverse with negative caster and I was curious about the effect of caster on banked surfaces.

When do you think the record at MIS will be broken and where.
This is tough because it seems that NASCAR in their infinate wisdom, dreams up ways to slow the cars down every time they reach 200+.

displacement, carburation (restrictor plates) and a miriad of others in their massive book of regulations.

any proof of the type of limits they set for top speed?
