Anyone watching the Daytona Firecracker 400 tonight?

[Bowlsie]

Any of you folks gonna watch the race tonight? I think I may make a little festivity out of it. Invite a few people over and order some pizza and get a little beer or something. Your all welcome to join me. Oh by the way. Go#24

[Sputnik]

Nah... I'm going to watch the Cleveland CART race!

[cohocarl]

You betchya. I also see that on NASCAR.COM, they have a free "trackpass" weekend where you get real-time data on your p.c..I'm going to give it a try and see how it looks/works.

Danm! Stareted 1/2 hour ago! Gotta go

[d_m_kolb]

watching now! Go Gordon 24!!!!

[Bowlsie]

Ahhhh... Well Gordon finished 14'th and dropped back to 3rd in points. Guess it could be worse though.

[Triton]

The #20 team didn't fare as well as I would have hoped. Tony had a pretty cool paint scheme tonight. Well, will get 'em next week.

[ShotInTheDark]

ugh, didn't know I was in a room full of gordon fans. Pepsi only has one driver, CocaCola has 14. hmmm which is better?

I love to watch nascar when they road race. I have to see a right handed turn every now and then for me to keep my interest. My favorite motorsport is Rally Racing.

[Chris]

Those WRC guys are the most amazing drivers! That's "real world" driving at it's finest... sigh if only I could drive half... ok 1/4 as well as those guys!

Real race cars turn right and left!

[Bowlsie]

Ok tell you what. Go jump on the beltway in DC during 5:00 traffic. Pop the accelerator down and get up to say 190-200 mph. Ask other vehicle drivers to do the same but tell them they are not allowed to be further away than 6" from any one angle of your car. Do this for lets just say oh... 400 miles or so. I will leave the rest to your imagination.

Quote: "I (heart) NHRA drag racing." End quote."Drag racers don't waste time driving in circles looking for the finish line!" (Actually, I'm a road racer at heart also.)

[rubberman]

If you like Nascar thats fine but why are they called stock cars? Stock cars to me are what runs in the Speed Touring and GT races at lest they look like what runs on the street. I think they should add fuel injection dump the small tracks run more road courses and should resemble whats on the street,

[Bowlsie]

I totally agree with you there. At one time back in the old Nascar days that was how it was ran. Pretty much take a stock car and just throw it on the track. Now they have all the stupid rules of which only a few make any sense

[rubberman]

Wouldn't a Audi A8 Quattro look good at Daytona it would kick some (removed)!!!!
