       I just watched the race from Brands Hatch and seen that one rider came
off really bad. I seen then giving him CPR but on our telecast we did not get
any information on who it was or how he is. Could anyone post something.
Just hope he is alright.

assistant: Hi Ron,
Novel idea:) I think F1 will be looking over it's shoulder and I think the
Indycar Series is going to run F1 over soon. Didn't Indycar narrow it's tyres
in the last coupla years and also reduce the wings. Which hasn't slowed them
down either. Maybe they might end up with 2.0l F1 cars and that soon:)
But what's the solution? Maybe none really. As in the past they have modified
the cars tracks and all that but they still get faster each year. The best
thing they can do is track safety and that is about it really.

        Just out of curiosity, how long have you been watching NASCAR racing?
I've been watching it for about 10 years, but I've been reading a lot about
the 30 years that preceded my enjoyment of this sport. There are a lot of
ways people can judge who is NASCAR's best driver ever. What are your
criteria for choosing Jeff Gordon for that title?

He's certainly having a good year, that's no lie.  However, he's still fresh
to the sport (he was the 1994 Rookie of the Year) and he has a way to go
before he can be considered one of the best.
Darrel Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt.. those are two of the best. Between them,
they have 160+ wins.

Pre-qualifying, post-qualifying and pre-race inspection in the NASCAR

A 14 to 15-template test checking the aerodynamic design of the front,
back, corners and sides of the race cars.
A gauge to check the ground clearance on the front air dam and the
height of the rear spoiler.
A gauge to check the height of the rear deck lid and the roof line of
the car.
Compression ratio of the engine.
Manifold clearance, and carburetor and restrictor-plate placement.

Just 'cause he's hot for two years doesn't make him the best. He still
has got a few dues to pay.
BTW, anyone hear vabout the new Ford NASCAR entry? It's called a
"Taurus". Hmmmmm. I seem to remember someone telling me it wasn't gonna

as annouced by the FIA this week, the last race of the 1997 season will be
the GP Portugal at Jerez de la Fontera, October 26th.
There won't be an 18th race at Estoril, November 9th. An additional GP had
required the ageement of all GP teams, but they claimed the winter break
would be too short if another GP was held.
Remember, they have to cope with the new 1998 technical regulations,
including profiled tires and narrower chassis.
The teams showed no interest in a non- championship race, also.
Enjoy the races,
Ralf
