I realize this, but it still seems to be a setup for disaster.
Sometimes there are few openings available and lots of points
chasers vying for them.  There is great potential for an
injured driver to be struck in the chaos.  Nascar's response
would be to "fine them" if they behaved too irresponsibly.  By
that time somebody's spouse, parent or hero could be taken
away to a casket or a wheelchair.

undesirable results from racing even if that person was not a national
name. It never ceases to amaze me when we see a W C or an Indy Car
type hit the wall at over 200 and the driver walk away some times and
if not a walk away at least survive and return to racing in a couple
of weeks but in reality it is a very dangerous sport and some bad
things will happen but it does not make it any easier for his family
and friends.  Thanks for you reply.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Nelson,
No problem.  I always enjoy chatting about formula type cars.
I don't get what you're driving at here.  Why is Renault's
departure overdue?  Just because they've dominated doesn't
mean they should leave.  Every manufacturer is there to win
races.  It's just that Renault has done a better job than some
of the others.  I hate to see any team or manufacturer leave
the sport.  F1 (and racing in general) can use all the
involvement they can get.
Stewart has not made any driver lineup announcements.  They've
only said that they are "on schedule" for next season.  Their
car is not quite finished yet, but they're working on it.
They plan to start testing in December.
Gil will be driving for Derrick Walker, taking over Robby
Gordon's seat.
I think the Toyota engine will come along fine, and I look
forward to having yet another competitive engine in the "mix".
Also, Dan Gurney's Eagle chassis will be better next year, and
that makes me REALLY happy (I'm a big fan of Dan).
I think Greg has a lot of talent and potential.  He'll be
better next year I'm sure.  However, I don't think he's quite
up to the level of Jacques.  He's not too darned bad though!
I think you're a little confused here.  It was the other way
around.  Moore went out of the race while trying to pass Andre
coming down to Canada Corner.  Andre went on to be involved in
another "situation" later in the race, and ended up getting a
fine out of the whole deal.  The only thing Moore got was one
heck of a ride into the sand trap!
Hard to say.  Jacques might not have been in that position at
that stage of the race in the first place.  One can't compare
one driver and team from one season to a completely different
driver and team from a completely different season.  There are
just too many variables.
Thanks for the chat!

assistant: I've only got one thing to say (ok, maybe two..) GOOD LUCK! There need to be
more women drivers! I don't track race, but I do drag and street race my
Honda... If you EVER start drag racing, DON'T LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE SAY A CAR
SHOULD RUN!!!! Those are pro driver times on optimal track conditions. A lot
of people think you can modify a car and it'll automatically run fast. NOPE.
Driving is 90% of what a car will do. My CRX runs CONSISTENT 16.0's and
16.1's, and it LISTS at book value as a 16.6-16.8  I've done a Stromung
muffler section , an intake, and a strut tower bar on it. Most guys I know
with the SAME car, with a FULL exhaust, headers, intake, cams, cam gears,
etc.. run 16.3's to 16.6's. The driver can make a HUGE difference.
BASICALLY what the above was stating is:
Don't worry about WHAT you drive, just learn to drive it BETTER than anyone
else does. This applies to ANY kind of racing.
BTW: NASCAR - what is still stock??????? If i wanted to watch people run on
an oval, I'd watch Indy cars!

 In reply:
 What's going to another network...CBC's broadcast or TSN's? I need to
know since I live in a cableless area with only four TV signals. I'm
going to be pissed if CBC drops F-1 coverage.
 Speaking of which, their bias was as apparent as ever during yesterday's
Portugese GP at Estoril. First there was Hill's "brilliant" manouvre
at the start, then they spent five minutes comparing Damon's "smooth,
fluid" driving style to Jacques' "hard, choppy" technique. They make
much play of how hard Villeneuve is on equipment.
 But, no matter. They DID give Villenueve his due...they had to. First,
Jacques took on Schumacher and beat him fair and square, then he reeled
in Hill like a minnow on 20-pound test. It was a extraordinary race for
a rookie.
 Walker and Palmer might have a point...coming from Indy, Villeneuve
probably has a healthy North American lack of respect for
machinery. You don't baby cars much in N-A. But that Oval training
of mixing it up in congested traffic sure paid off for Jacques on Sunday.
 There's polite recognition of Villeneuve's achievements in Canada so far.
In any other country they'd be going nuts. I mean this guy is already
the greatest rookie in the entire history of Formula 1! No one else won
more than three races in their first year.

Amen to that. It's not something that's very difficult to do. And it's not
like perfection is required. It's just that when it's *that* much of a mess,
you know that there's *no* effort being expended.
And that strikes me as odd, especially in NASCAR. Mr. France and the crew
seem to have very tight control over the league and the drivers. I guess he
doesn't care either.
That's a shame, and I can't say that I understand it one bit...especially
here. It's like suggestion that proper care and maintainance of a car isn't
worth the trouble during a race. It's the only vehicle you've got to run the
race just as words are the only vehicle we've got to get our message across
here.
That I do not know. Even if it's 1%, that's still $250,000. Not a bad sum!
I'll go along with you there. There does seem to be a big difference. Or
could it be that the others are very overpaid? :-) It just boggles my mind to
imagine the sums of money involved.

Another good driver in my opinion. I can't say I've ever wanted him to win,

assistant: well.
       yeah, but it hurts big-time when one of the big players takes a
seat.  Just wait til Renault bails from F1.  There will be a large vacum
there too.

assistant: RM |  Hello Indy Experts,
   |
   | Does anybody know which year Graham Hill (father of current
   | F1 leader Damon) won the Indy 500?
   | And what was the name of the racing series? IRL ?
   |
   | Enjoy the races,
   | Ralf

       Well, there are a few "experts" here that will guide you
correctly, but I'd "GUESS" that he did not win.  My Indy experiences
kinda started with the Al Unser days so Hill would have been just a-bit
earlier than that.
