Of course they're just numbahs....


33 -- Number that used to mean something in qualifying at Indianapolis.

-Kevin

[Clown]

Definately one of Robins most brutal bitchslaps ever to the Earl :D

[Robstar]

7 -- Number of times per telecast that Paul Page and Jack Arute use the phrase "great crowd."

:D

[Kiwifan]

Ah, The Truth at last this week. ;)

Rusty.

[Elmo T]

51 -- Eddie Cheever's winning number at Indy in 1998 and total cases of Rachel's Potato Chips sold that year.

:laugh:

[4wheeldrifter]

"151 -- Average number of spectators on Friday practice days."

Sounds a bit high.

[Jervis Tetch 1]

Robin proved what Mark Twain said more than a hundred years ago.

"There are three types of lies. Lies, damn lies and statistics."

Thus be the I*L. :rofl:

[RobGuru]

Three can not be the number of Chevy victories post Honda and Toyota. It is, however, the number of Ford victories during this period.

[Steve99]

Definately one of Robins most brutal bitchslaps ever to the Earl :D

What about this part?

And it is hard to argue with those IRL press releases that boast about booming attendance, increased television exposure and all those new sponsors flocking to be part of The League.

Another good read from RM. Many question him, but I have never questioned his passion for OW. I hope a lot of the IRListas are choking while reading this. Bitchslap is an understatement! :thumbup:

[Dave99]

Robin should have added this to #6;

The number of IRL drivers to win the Indy 500 in their first nine years. :p

A classic, best I've seen out of RM in some time. The number I'd really like to see is TG's blood pressure after reading it... ;)

Nope he has to have all of his knowledge anally injected.

IT is not that bad, John Cooper will visit him and read it for him. Then John will tell him what to say for the next week. :gomer: :gomer:

[Amanda B.'s Mom]

What is to become a classic RM piece.

The number that struck me was:
93 -- Number of drivers hospitalized since '96.
