raveninca 0 #26 February 27, 2012 QuoteIn all the years I've watched NASCAR, there have been much, much worse wrecks than Danica's. Carl Edwards went up into the catch fence, barrell-rolled across the track, Jeff Gordon wound-up on his top during the Bud Shoot-out and so-on, they walked away from those wrecks. I can't agree more with what NASCAR has done for safety in stock-car racing. What gets me is of the more horrendous wrecks, Danica gets the most attention and all she did was smack into the wall! There have been other women in racing who have survived some really ugly wrecks and nary a peep about them. Simona DiSilvestro almost burned-up in her Indy car, last season and only a blurb in the press about it. Maybe, all the race car drivers need all those people to promote them like Danica. The whole Danica thing is waaaay out of line... and she is not that good! Chuck She may not be that good but she is very very marketable and when it comes to NASCAR now a days that counts for way more than driving skill, it sucks but it is what it is.

AggieDave 6 #27 February 27, 2012 Quote Me too, I love technical discussions about pretty much everything. The aftermarket harnesses are better tested and certified than DOT IMHO. You have two standards being SFI (three year lifetime and then the harness needs to be replaced) and FIA (five years before having to replace the harness). Depending on what you are racing in will determine what certification is needed. Sure. NHTSA has to have standards to allow for a longer lifespan for the safety belt. There is an interesting balance in allowing for an allowable lifespan, insuring safety and maintaining general application and usage ability. Think about the idiots on the plane next to you on a commercial flight who are too stupid to put their seatbelt on. Now give them a 4-point in a car...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck She may not be that good but she is very very marketable and when it comes to NASCAR now a days that counts for way more than driving skill, it sucks but it is what it is. I understand that. NASCAR really took a hit, last season and needs a boost. I think the 'new to NASCAR' will wear-off and hopefully, fannies will continue to fill the seats. I'm tired already of every other word out of announcers mouths is Danica! The season hasn't even started and it's gotten old. Maybe, a little moderation? What I'd like to know is, what makes her so 'marketable'? She's not a great driver, she doesn't come across as knowlegdeable of her sport, she blames someone else when she has a problem, she only won one race in IRL and you get right down to it, she most often has a mean look on her face.

masterrig 1 #44 February 29, 2012 Danica recently stated in a media interview that she was getting tired of the media putting too much emphasis on her 'sex appeal'. Big hint, Danica... quit doing Go Daddy ads. If, she wants to be taken serious, she needs to work on her driving and being a serious contender. Her racing record just does not match-up with all the hype. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
