Now He's Just Playing With Us...

Robin suggesting the IRL use the Hanford Device!

LOL!!!!!!:rofl:


• The IRL didn’t have many good oval races this season (Sunday’s was a yawner until the last lap) and the field is either strung out or all bunched up in Kamikaze mode waiting on the inevitable crash.

Since the IRL has copied just about everything else from the old CART days, why not contact Mark Handford? His aerodynamic Handford Device in the late ’90s created non-stop passing, drafting and the most exciting 500-mile races ever staged.


over at speed.

Why not just put wings on them things and get it over with? :tony: :saywhat: :shakehead

[NismoZ]

Nope. Take the wings OFF! ALL of 'em! Then we'd see some creative bodywork.:D

push-to-pass would fix the oval thing.

Watch for it...

[Methanolandbrats]

push-to-pass would fix the oval thing.

Watch for it... So would six inch wide tires and no wings. :thumbup:

I have a gut feeling that the IRL jockies were falling all over themselves to get the paddle shifter once they heard Champ Car had it. I'm sure push to pass was in the conversation.

Hey, if they had paddle shifters, then Danika wouldn't need power steering, maybe, right? Both hands on the wheel at all times.

[guiness is good for you]

BRILLIANT!

[opinionated ow]

take off 1/3 of the downforce....that should liven the "racing" up. milka might be competitive then, i don't think she drives fast enough to generate downforce....

There was a race through a burning city?

German's are cool. :cool:

[EVL29]

Not really. They were the ones burning the city.

[pchall]

Old pics of the real deal are a lot more interesting than that stupid painting.

Nuvolari never asked for more downforce or drag.

[cameraman]

Nuvolari never asked for more downforce or drag. And amazingly enough he died in his sleep...

[Sean Malone]

Imagine how fast he would have been if they had built his car with the rear tire touching the ground!!!:eek:

Very cool. Surprising how closely two cars from separate eras are matched

Trevor gave me a DVD with this on it for Xmas.

No downforce there.

[NismoZ]

Don't know for certain but didn't Nuvolari come to Auto Union late in the game, replacing Rosemeyer after he was killed in that record run in 1938? If so he would have driven the Type D in '38 and both the painting and the pic look like the Type C that ran in '36 and '37. Could it be Rosemeyer, Stuck or Varzi? (I'd say Rosemeyer in the painting because he won 6 of 12 rounds in '36 and may have run a #1 Type C in '37?)

i believe it was the Dresden gran prix. ;)

Palm trees in Dresden?:D Must be the GP of Tripoli?

The photo shows Hermann Muller at Donington in 1937, assuming the pic was taken during the race.

LOL, no I found it all by my little lonesome...the reason I even joined that ^$%*&# time killer of a website.
But guess I was wrong about the painting ...oops.
