Write your reply.

assistant: Hi everyone
        A couple of weeks ago, I replied to someone who wanted to have news
about Mark Kinser's status in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. As a
follow-up and as of this last weekend, Mark has been replaced by Doug George
behind the wheel of SKB Racing's #92 Rotary Lift Chevrolet. I believe I've
heard that Doug only had a six-race deal with SKB, but judging from Mark's
failure to qualify the truck earlier this season, I'd say we won't see him
with that team in the future.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Damiano,
Thank you very much indeed.
The new Ferrari front wing has improved the car's drivability very much.
The cassis keeps much calmer now entering curves. Michael Schumacher
stated the modification decreased laptimes for 0.2 or 0.3 sec- which may
sound little, but we all kwow that a second is eternity in Formula One!
The modification proved to be a step into the right direction, as
Schumacher dominated on all three days in Magny Cours, France.
Did you see him driving on slick tyres in the rain last Sunday?
Unbelievable!
Enjoy the races,
Ralf

user: You are replying to All about "robby gordon update".

Write your reply.

assistant: A week or so ago, perhaps two weeks ago i posted a message in this
conference concerning Robby Gordon.  Acutally i didn't post the message,
but i did have a large reponse to the message that someone wrote before
me.  And as a Robby Gordon fan, i thought i would get some responses
from others on it.  But weeks came and gone and i havn't read anything
from anyone who is or isn't a fan of his.
   I am not asking much, in fact i really don't care if anyone in here
doesn't care much about Robby Gordon.  It just means that i am his
biggest fan and support him this season for NASCAR.  And that no one
else here is a fan or cares about what he does.  But i been reading tons
of posts of other drivers that are favorites of nascar fans.  And some
even posted or replied to stuff about drives they don't even like.  And
i think i was one of them.  What i am saying here is that does a driver
have to win 50 races or something just to be mentioned in here?  And why
does Robby Gordon have to be mentioned by anyone in here when he
sustained an injury that puts him out of racing.  I think that is unfair
since people only talk about him when he out of racing.  And i doubt it
is because they know how good he is and they don't like him so they
would only talk about him when he is not able to race.
    I am not coming down hard on racing fans in this conference just
because no one posted or said anything about Robby's driving with IROC
and NASCAR till he had to leave racing to heal the injury he got at the
indy 500.  I mean, i can always fill in the void in this conference and
post messages now and then of how Robby did this or that in every race
he partcipates in.  But i just thought there might been some respect
from nascar fans in general, for Robby and what he has done so far as a
rookie in the NASCAR series.  Dunno how much people talked about John
Andretti who obviously hasn't been mentioned a lot in here.  If anyone
wants to add to this feel feel to do so.

assistant: This concerns the past few weeks where again i am lost to what is

like i was able to do before ESPN 2.  That i still have an interest in
that racing sport.  But i am not interested as much as i was a year or
two ago.  I knew that Cart Racing had two weeks for their next race
which is tomorrow on one of my favorite race tracks the airport runway
strips.  Wide open racing, and no walls to really knock anyone out of
the race when they spin out.  But when we talk about NASCAR i am lost to
where we are at.  I even forgotten now the last race i seen which i do
remember which was the california 500.  But there was no NASCAR racing
last weekend, unless it was on a saturday night or saturday afternoon
which i would then miss it.  And until there is a race on sunday
tomorrow, i will be in the dark to everything going on with NASCAR and
not have much to talk about till the next race i see.  If you want to
add to this and share me information i would like to know, feel free.

Write your reply.

assistant: This is about the NASCAR truck series.  I havn't been able to watch
many races.  Since last sunday there was no NASCAR race on, that i
watched what i think is the second time i seen the NASCAR truck series
run a race this season.  Or it could be the third race i seen.  This
race was at Nazarath Pennsylvaina.  I do have some questions which
probably were asked before by many racing fans.  Why don't they have a
bigger gas tank on the trucks to run longer than to always run low on
fuel so early in the race.  And why must there be a halftime, and why
not build the trucks so they can pit like Winston cup cars.  I have
nothing against to the way it is setted up.  In fact i really do like
the way it is set up.  Because it gives the truck series it's own aura
or whatever the word is.  That makes it interesting to watch.  I am
surprised though that Oldsmobile doesn't have a truck in there since i
thought they had a pick up truck also.  And as far as i know the truck
series when it comes to costs and stuff is a bit or a lot lower than
NASCAR.

   the only real damage was a lot of bent sheet metal and no serious
   injuries to any driver.
   JA was not going to lose that race especially that late in the

   super speedway one lap NO WAY.

assistant: Greetings and salutations Ralf;
    I cannot believe a redesigned wing would make such a difference, by
the look of it doesn't appear be any difference not if your up close.
With blazing start Schumacher had on the race, I thought he had lower
fuel which had to stop three times for pits. Then I suspected an
improvement to the engine, which lacked straight speed on previous races.
Until Martin Brundle explained why the Ferrari was better suited for
Magny Cours.
   Well the Ferrari need a good results and better car with good handlings,
it has been a struggle for them since mid 80 with unrealiability and bad
handling. Imagine with better car what Michael Schumacher can do, an
interesting challege to the Williams for sure.
     Yup it was unbelievable , actually I could feel my heart beat when
Schumi went off track. Actually the Ferrari had no choice but to keep
him out because if he had to pit, Frenzen would have taken the lead
and not pit since there were only 10 laps remaining.
      Every minute of it....plus I have VCR set up so I can watch again
latter :)

Write your reply.

assistant: Read an interesting story in the Globe & Mail (Toronto) Thursday July 10,
  which stated that the new F1 team being designed around JV was simply a
  contract ploy designed by JV's manager/agent Pollock.
  Schumacher is _earning_ his contract - Ferrari has improved steadily.
  Maybe Williams has been at the peak of its development curve and has no
  performance advantage to use and must depend upon inspired driving - which
  they have been paying for but...
  Anyone else here think that JV is spending too much time reading his own
  press (and believing it!?) and too little doing his job.  Could kill the
  golden goose.  Perhaps this weekend will tell - another off race won't do
  him any favours.

assistant: Hello Daminio,
aces.
They are using the new 046/2 engine in the races now, but it's hard to say
how much more power or driveabilty it offers.
What did he say? We are not sharing the same TV covarage.
I later read, Ferrari had an improved electronic differential gear which
speeds up accellaration in and out of curves.
There was a time were thing went better, during the Prost aera 1990/91.
Ferrari had been reorganized and they almost became World Champion 1990
when Senna pushed Prost off the track in Japan's. very first curve.
Yes, indeed.
Moreover, it became dryer soon after the others did change their tyres, so
the Intermediates wore off rapidly.
I'll keep the most interesting races to watch them very much later. Lately
I saw the 1992 Hockenheim Grand Prix again: Mansell, Senna, etc. and
Patrese helpless in the Motodrome's gravel on the last lap, passing 3rd
Place to Schumacher.
Enjoy the races,
Ralf

That's what I did put the video on. But what did our local TV station do?
They had the last 2 and a half set of Wimbledon as an Ozzie was playing which
delayed the GP for me. So I missed the last 10 laps:( I wasn't very happy at
all:( But I found out who one but it's not the same as watching it. I sennm
Schui go off once in the wet and get back on so it would have been very
exciting to watch the last 10 laps.
Oh well I've bought a longer tape now so I'll just have to tape longer next
time:)
