assistant: On 09-30-96  09:30 Martin Vincent said something like this to J Black...
 Thanks Martin.  This only furthers my point that Sterling leaves much to
 be desired when it comes to his performance on the short tracks.  A while
 back Glenn Harness posted Ernie's stats from when he was in the 4 car as
 an attempt to show me how much better Sterling has done since taking the
 wheel.  I won't say Ernie was much more consistent in the car, but over 50%
 of his finishes were in the Top 10 on the tracks you mentioned.
 I guess this thread really started over me saying that M-Mc didn't need a
 second car, they just need another driver in the one they are running now.
 Once again let me reiterate that this is not intended as a slam against
 Sterling.  I've always thought that he does possess a good deal of talent,
 but in my book, he's just not a championship caliber driver.

assistant: Hi I'm new to this message area but I just had to put my input in on this one
I really don't think Earnhardt has got what it takes this year to get the
eighth championship. Could have been the wreck he had earlier this year. But
I do believe Gordon (barring any unforseen wrecks or mechanical problems)will
win again this year. Which of course will prove to people that last year was
not just luck but that he actually can drive. Thanks for letting me have my
two cents worth!! =)

 Are the Arrows cars at least getting a new engine -- hopefully a

   Nope, but it was not me who was tossing about the word
"stealing/stolen", had you used the correct term you would never have
seen a line about any of this from me.
In any case I would hope it will now drop, if not you can have the
last line as we are not going to accomplish anything by further
exchange.
BTW I did enjoy reading the W/C news post as I don't have net access
but I will learn to live without it.  God I hope that doesn't make me
guilty of receiving stolen property and the Feds come and take my
computer and haul me off to do 5 to 10 with murders/drug dealers.

You make some of the most sexist statements that I have ever seen. Do you

The fact that the sport has been dominated in the past has NOTHING to do with
whether it's a male or female sport...
Where are all the blacks, the Japanese, Mexicans, etc...
Does that mean all white males are better racers than them? Of course not. It
means that sexist people such as yourself never have given them a chance.
I'm male 100% american, but unlike you, I KNOW that race, skin color, sex,
natiopnality, age, etc, have NOTHING, absolutely nothing to do with what
akes
a great race driver.
Talent, courage, skill, bravery, craziness, courage, whatever, you want to
name it helps to make a race driver.
How many races have you won? Have you ever beat a female driver? Or been
beaten by one? Second place is the first loser, my guess is, you've never

y
big regret is, she never lived long enought to drive the sorints that I truly
love. She would have been great...
She dreamed of some day driving Sprint Cars, I'd say that most male Sprint
Cars drivers are lucky she never realized that dream... I'll never forget
sitting with her that night, talking racing all night. She wasn't a male, she
really wasn't female that night, she was a racer, nothing more, nothing

You just have no idea how fast these cars are travelling until you see them
live...That course in Laguna looks fantastic, and excellent road course to be
sure.  I love the corkscrew.  Maybe I'll hitch along with a marshalling group
one day down there.
I have to make it out to a NASCAR race eventually, Pocono or Michigan are the
closest tracks to me here in Toronto.  Mosport is thinking about making a few
changes, 1 building an oval onto the existing course and fixing the chicane
at the start of turn 8, maybe to attract the IRL.  Now although I prefer the
CART guys I'd love to see the return of the big boys to Mosport...Even an
INDY lights event would be welcome.
Of the current crop of cars running the circuit, the F2000's and the GT4's
are my favourite.  They MOVE!
