latest news from Ferrari:
- two guys from Ferrrari's quality check department have lost their jobs now.
- the new rear diffuser will be ready for Hockenheim GP this weekend, but the
    new 7 gear gearbox will most likely not.
- all journalists and fans have been banned at Ferrari's testing site, Monza.
  It was reported, however, that Micheal Schumacher had another technical
  brakedown after 20 laps. Not a good prospect for this weekend's race!
- Michael Schumacher confirmed nagotiations for a third year with Ferrari.
Enjoy the races,

assistant: Hi Amanda Lee,
Our freindly conference moderator Max Lake has requested that
we move our conversation elsewhere since we seem to have drifted off
the auto racing topic. Let me know what other conferences you have
avalilable on you local bulletin board that we could use.
I will try posting a message in the general conference. Let me know if
it makes it through. If it does we can use it for chatting and this
one strictly for racing associated topics. How does that sound?
As for the race last Sunday. I'll bet the chevy camp really starts
screaming about the unfair advantage that the Fords seem to have.
If Nascar just wouldn't have let the Monte Carlo deviate from the
stock body shape (they let them add six inches to the rear of the car)
then none of this constant rule changing to keep things even between
the makes would have ever started in the first place. I enjoy seeing
different drivers win each week even if I do have a favorite. The
competition on the track is what I really enjoy seeing. When one car
or type of car runs away from the rest of the field it gets pretty
boring to watch.
Are you interested in the truck or Busch racing? We follow that to
some degree but not like the Winston Cup circuit.
Have you heard about the track they are building in Texas? They will
be racing there next season as has already been announced. That should
be a little closer to where you live.
Well, let me go post a short note to you in some other conferences
that are available on my BBS and see if any make it through to you.

I don't see the correlation between the two types of driving.  Methinks
Jeffy was speaking just to hear himself talk on that one. <g>
I had the opportunity to see Kinser practice in January 1995 at the 1/2
mile track at Pensacola.  He looked terrible then and he didn't improve a
great deal.    Bernstein brought two cars and Stevie couldn't get either to
go through a corner at speed, he had a tendency to go in way deep.  Sprint
driving is a specialty, kind of like the medical field.  A protologist
could set a bone but he wouldn't necessarily make a good orthopedist, and
vice-versa.  I think that might have been the case with Swindell and
Kinser.  Another example might be Walker Evans going from the sand-eaters
to the CTS.

I can buy that a lot more than I can buy the Irvan "giving" Jarrett five
points.    But then, if NASCAR'd do away with that silly 5 points for
leading a single lap rule, it wouldn't have happened (and Marcis'd have
about 50 points less than his current abysmal total).
