       Well all I got to say is NASCAR is cool watch every race I can
       but what about World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, ASCS, IMCA, and
       all those Round de Rounders were here too.
       It seems that the concrete is getting all the attention but
       go to a good ole Saturday Nite Dirt track. It's local, it's
       inexpensive, and most of all its real people driving real
       cars who live in your hometown.
       More needs to be dont to promote Dirt Tracking.

was too much of a change too soon.
Villeneuve got lapped!  In the Australian!  Too bad.  At least it was a

    Technicaly speaking Williams is the same as last year, with exception
of minor body work. Different sponsorship and colour scheme, the engine
particulary same with different stamp on it, since Renault decided to
leave due to costs. There are rumors Williams are working an agreement with
BMW for 1999, remains to be seen.
    There were strong indication last year McLaren would be strong force,
to dealt with if Mercedes resolved engine reliability. As we all know now
how  well prepared McLaren team were, in Austrialia last sunday. Now
other teams have to catch up or else we might see another year dominated
by one team. As to tires having grooves didn't reduce speed very much,
therefore FIA's got there buckets kicked....literaly speaking :)
... We now return to our regularly scheduled flame-throwing.

Yes, I guess you are right.  I think Mercedes will be the champ this

the McLarens.  They lapped the Williams!  So, what are your predictions

assistant: Williams had little say in the matter. Renault decided that they
had achieved everything they wanted in F1 and the only way they
could go was down, therefore they opted to quit while they were on
top. The Mecachrome engines in the Williams and the Playlife
engines in the Benettons ARE what used to be the Renault engines,
they're just being developed and maintained by an independent
French company with a long association with racing Renaults.

Yup, it is the same.  It looks weird and different now.  I think they
should have stayed with last year's colour scheme.  Imagine how much
model cars of last year are going to cost now!  I think BMW would be a
good move for Williams.  They should try to be different.
Yup, you are right.  Villeneuve was complaining about this rule, but it
didn't do much.  The Williams still have a good chance at defending
their title, but the team to beat is Mercedes.  Enjoy the season.

Yes they need something done that's for sure. I guess they could

My predictions? Well I'd like to see Schui win it in a Ferrari. I know
not many like him these days but I'd like to see Ferrari win it again
soon and I don't think Eddie is the one to do it for them this year.
But on the last race form you'd have to go for McClaren last year they
had a few reliablity problems this year I don't think they'll have as
many. Other than that I'd like to see a Jordan win atleast a few races
and Fisicella to win a race aswell. I was disappointed in the Prost
effort for the first race I thought he would have the team running
well.
