assistant: What the heck did Skinner have to do with it?  I understand that he finished
12th and they were pretty proud of that fact being it was his first race.
Worst kind of finish?  I dunno about that.  Seems to me that Fords won more
than a handful over the last couple years under the caution.
I guess we're going to hear all the bad stuff about the chevys again, since
one team took the top three spots.

If you wanna get THAT way about it...
There were 22 Fords and what, 12-14 (or somewhere thereabout) Chevies entered
in the field?  And of those, how many were out due to wrecks etc?  Yet 3
Chevies won the race, because when it came down to crunch time, Bill Elliot
and his Ford just couldn't make the grind.  You claim that since 3 Chevies
passed him, the Bow Ties are 1/3 as fast as him?  Nah, I'd say he's 1/3 as

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Roy!  How's it going?  I tend to agree with your statement there.  Seems
to me that back in the late '70's when I was stationed in Charleston, that
they had a rule like you are suggesting at the Summerville raceway.  Any time
a caution came out with 10 or less laps to go, the lap count stopped until
the restart.  Seemed real fair to me.  Sure would keep "team" drivers from
doing something that might affect the winner, however, this last race the
whole team was up front.
I think the media would have something to say about it though.  Every sport
out there is being told that they have to cut the time.  That the fans don't
want all the delays.  In racing, it would seem, the delay of the end would,
in fact, make the end more enjoyable because they would actually be racing
to the finish rather than coasting in.
My thoughts to add to yours.

    If you find these answers please share them with me.  Since i used

to money problems and formula 1 racing on another channel that i don't
have.  That i am unable to watch the races, and to keep up with what is
going on in forumla one every season.  It's a shame too since i really
enjoy watching formula 1.  I just hope ESPN will realize some of the
people they are hurting out there putting it on their other channel espn
2.  Since then they can bring back to ESPN and i can enjoy formula one
again.  I really find it annoying that i have to pay more dollars for
more channels and new things out here to see the things i love.  They
should find a way to have their other stations but at the same time be
able to let people that can't affoard the new station or channel to
still be able to watch formula 1 racing.

     I can understand what you mean here.  But i dunno if they knew
there was an oil leak or if it was done on purpose.  Sure it stinks that
they had to end the great race of daytona this year with a yellow
checkered flags.  But, look at it this way, there was a major accident
on the final laps.  To bad for Earnhardt too, what a story that is that
he just can never find a way to finish this race in first place.  Also
after seeing that accident, i am surprised they were able to be able to
finish the race on a green flag if it weren't for Skinner and his oil
leaking car.  And remember even if they did get his car off the track, t
they probably wouldn't be able to race to the finish anyways since the
oil that is on the track would prevent it.

     Ahh good another indy racing fan.  Yep indy racing all types of
racing is welcome to be spoke about in here.  The problem with this
message conference is that not to many people seem to post much about
indy and other racing series.  I see mostly stuff for Nascar and Truck
Series.  But there are indy car racing fans you just have to find them
like you did.  And wassup man, i am glad you posted this message.  Now i
know the date of the first indy car race to the 1997 season.  I sure
miss formula 1 though.  Missed the entire season last year due to the
fact that i can't afford the other station to see it.  And thank
goodness that indy and nascar seem to stick on the major stations so i
can see those which is good enough.  I dunno nothing about all the stuff
that has been changed, for to rules and stuff.  I know that they did add
a new race track to the schedule in Texas for Nascar, looking forward
for that one.  So until the indy racing seasons starts, i no nothing of
this season.  Ummm, by the way try to keep in touch so we can talk about
this year's indy racing.  Since last time, i wasn't able to find many
people to talk about it.

      Excuse me Jeremy but i don't think using that word Wonder ___ is
the proper way to say it.  I mean, you don't know them very well do you,
and Gordon is married and has a child.  I think you need to apologize to
everyone on using that word.  Sure you can express your feelings on the
matter, if you don't like Jeff Gordon and their racing team.  But please
do not say things that are nasty and untrue.  I think you also are
taking the ford chevy thing to seriously.  I mean, i really don't care
much to who wins more since i like Oldmosbile who no longer has a race
car in these races anymore.  I sure hope they do decide or find a way to
bring a race car back to winston cup racing.  But, in the meantime
whoever wins in whatever car is enough to proove to me that it's not
just the car that wins it's the person who is driving it.

       I don't think it really matters, since it's only one race that
this happens.  And who's to say that car is going to win more races just
because it won daytona.  I think you have to realize that it's more than
the car, it's the driver.
