Write your reply.

assistant: Well, without the benefit of a dish like yours I could only
experience Daytona via print, so for me it finally felt like the
beginning of the racing season last weekend with the Trans-Am
opener in St. Petersburg.  Looks like another Gloy vs. Roush year
in the TA, though it looks like a few of the Camaros are close to
the pace even without the factory support.  Sure is a shame to see
McCall's AER team go away though...  I'm now looking forward to
Homestead with hopes I'll get to see it.  Our local ABC affiliate
has an unfortunate record of pre-empting the first CART race of the
year. Don't yet know what their plans are this year, but if the
last three are any indication...
It surprises me that you hadn't seen that sooner; I've been using
it for at least a couple of years!  Of course, that's to be sung to
the tune of Dire Strait's "Money for Nothing", which I believe is
also one Mr. Ecclestone's theme song.  Coincidence?  I don't think
so! <G>
Speaking of a USGP (maybe), I was rather surprised to hear that the
Trans Am round at Homestead has been postponed or cancelled due to
some major construction at the track which has been moved up on
the schedule, and which will begin soon after the CART race.  I
haven't heard any rumors as to why the construction is happening,
but with a track that new it seems surprising that it would need
anything that major yet, unless they were doing something to
satisfy certain persnickety types across the pond. Probably just
wishful thinking on my part, but I know Ralph Sanchez has had talks
with Bernie in the past so it's not necessarily ALL a figment of an
F1 deprived brain! <G>

Write your reply.

assistant: -On 02-26-97, Barry Gardiner was conversing with Mike Niebauer
discussing impounding cars.:
Not having seen it mentioned before, I believe the winning car is
'rented' by the museum at $100,000 for the year.  That may not be
complete compensation for losing a car you wanted to run for a number
of other races on high speed tracks that year, but it helps toward
building a replacement.
It's not quite that bad, but many cars get bumps and fender rubs on a
regular basis.  On the short tracks (less than 1 mile in length), few
if any cars go through the race without some damage, at least donuts in
the side (black circles from wheel rubs).  On high speed tracks like
Daytona, contact with another car often is followed by contact with
another object that is fixed such as a wall.  There are exceptions,
even Gordon's winning car at Daytona had a donut in the right side from
contact with Earnhart.  In that case, it was Earnhart that hit the
solid object, which was followed by hitting other moving objects (cars)
after (and during) rolling over.
Most of the teams have at least 4 cars, the better financed teams have
8 or more in the shop, built for different sized tracks, etc.  If an
under-financed team won and lost their car, they would gain from the
prize money, the rental on the winning car, plus the possibility of
more financial support in the future.

at a 3.1 in Ultra Game  players magazine.  Im not real sure about
Playstation, but I know that it has Nascar on it.  Saturn has Daytona Usa and
Sega Rally and a few others like Virtual Racing Deluxe.  Computer however has
the most.  My favorite racing game is a old game called stunts for computer.
It allows you to make you own tracks and everything.
