[Methanolandbrats]

Milka had "handling" problems. :confused: It's a shame a talent like that is not in a decent car :gomer:

[spinner26]

** Involved in first lap accident with Wreckter.

This was one instance were Wreckter was the innocent victim. Weldons crap went around and up the track collecting Wreckter.

Who did Danica blame this week?

[cart7]

Dixon - 77 laps down and still finishes 10th. :laugh:

[cameraman]

Sounds like Dixon takes points racing pretty seriously

Hah! hah!

American racing on horse ovals.

At least the English were smart enough to stage a race on the paved parts at Aintree.;) ;)

BTW, Danica should know that a butt wiggle looks good on TV but not on the track.

What's up with that? Is there anything to that? I didn't think the handling issues at Iowa were anything more than cold hard tire related. OTOH I thought Texas had shown everyone that progressive banking doesn't work.

OTOH I thought Texas had shown everyone that progressive banking doesn't work. Might be something to it, if there is rapid camber change at corner exit, backend gets really light, really fast.

What was the temp at race time?

What was the temp at race time?

High 70s

Does anybody remember the split level banking at TMS before the "improvements"?

Marco "AJ takes my checko" Greco almost got upside down spinning across the gradient change way back when. Greco was the Brazilian with a check who replaced Billy Boat. Funny to remember that Foyt was the first to crack on the all american/all oval fantasy.

[Wheel-Nut]

I remember it. The cup boys didn't like it one bit hence "the improvements."

[devilmaster]

I thought homestead went to progressive banking at their last re-do....

[Wheel-Nut]

TMS in its original configuration was 13 degrees at the bottom and 24 degrees up high. Indy cars were to run on the flat part and stock cars would run on the high banking.

Just another butt wiggle to get more tv exposure?

If you can't win a race, I guess that's the next best thing...

She learned that move at the "Ernie "Swervin" Ervin NASCAR dribben skool."

Princess has to work on her race craft. No way sticking it in the middle was gonna work. And no, everyone won't move over for her cause she's a girl. It's always someone elses fault. :cry:
