sundevil777 102 #30 February 21, 2005 Ever seen the figure 8, backwards driving (yes-truly backwards) with a ramp compact car races. That is fun to watch.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever seen the trailor races? There trucks towing trailors (some I've seen at a DZ) around the track as fast as they can. Now that's racing! Can see it now..

A t-bone at well over 100mph? Ouch! First I heard about was when I bought a dirt track racing game. Don't much about it though. But I do think it would be fun to watch. --ArtSky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

The day Jeff Gordon won at Talladega under caution last year that prompted tons of beer cans being thrown on the track, I was coming home from Atlanta. Stopped in a restaurant after the race and fans were everywhere. Got many weird stares too...

livendive 8 #35 February 22, 2005 QuoteThe way they change rules in order to prevent dominance by some, it is like telling Airspeed they can't wear booties because they have been winning too much. Total bullshit. It might as well be IROC where all the cars are identically prepared. Of course all the cars being bunched up is very exciting, and it promotes crashes. It's NASCAR.

freefallfreak 0 #36 February 22, 2005 Hey Billy, Thanks for contributing to my lift ticket fund, lol. I sold that to Caledonia Graphics a few years back and they even put my real name on the name tag on the freefliers jumpsuit but ya' gotta turn it upside down to read it, lol.
