There are, in the Craftsman Truck Series.  There aren't in Winston Cup
ecause
Chrysler doesn't have a car with enough downforce to qualify as a Cup car --
this is from NASCAR itself.  NASCAR would love Mopar to become reinvolved in
the Cup program, and it would be good for Cup competition as well.  Less
ords
:)
In reality, the more makes the better.

assistant: 27 Apr 97 13:15, Hey Rocky! Jim Graham pulled Earnhardt - whats up outta his
hat!:
If you watch the cars during a race, you can see the air as it forces the
cars' front end down.  You'll also notice DE doesn't follow directly behind
but to either side, just slightly.  If you get out there far enough, you can
feel the air pressure as you pull out of the draft and you can feel the car
accelerate as you get into it.  If you watch real close, you can also see two
cars draft off of the lead car.  When one of them pulls directly behind, the
other car will fall back because part of it is no longer in the draft.

assistant: Hello John,
On 26 Apr. 97  16:52 John Stubley wrote to All...
Factory support fell away many years ago after Mopar felt they
were legislated out of a competitive position.  They didn't
have a logical platform to build from in the K-car era and the
immediate time preceding it, so they couldn't really sell a
model that would be a raceable NASCAR entity.  Lately, I've
thought that NASCAR could okay something for Mopar as it's
largely become a silhouette series anyway with Banjo Matthews
chassis on most of the teams with approved NASCAR silhouettes
bolted on.  If Pontiac, Chevy and Ford shapes could be
developed with parity, I don't know why something from
Chrysler's stable couldn't be approved......

assistant: All cars are allowed.
Most in USA talk about Stock Cars, (NASCAR).  These cars are not stock
but are made to look like the ones you can buy here, like Ford and
Chevrolet.
The Nascar engines are Chevrolet and Ford V8's highly modified to
produce over 700 Horsepower.  They can only have one carburetor,
no fuel injection, no superchargers.
All races.  We just had a race today in a place called Talladega.
That is the name of the city in Alabama (Southeastern USA) where
it is held.  This is a fast track (Superspeedway) with high banked
turns in an oval shape.  Top speeds are around 200 miles per hour.
Most races in NASCAR are 500 miles long and run in 3 to 4 hours.
If you get satellite TV there, you can see NASCAR racing most any
Sunday (1pm to 5pm Eastern US time [GMT-5]) on ESPN sports channel.
Cool!  Get any American cars there?  German and Japanese perhaps??
We also talk about Formula 1 racing, Indy Car racing (also open wheel),
and Trans-Am Racing.  Trans-Am is similar to NASCAR except smaller cars
and more road courses.
Some others talk about Drag Racing, or IMSA World Sports Cars.

assistant: Hello Alexander, and welcome to the Autorace echo.
The majority of discussion here is about the American NASCAR
series, which are racing cars which resemble street cars that mostly
race on oval tracks.  There are a few of us who are fans of other
forms of racing, including Indy-type cars and even a few of us who
prefer Formula 1 over all others. As I type this I'm killing time
before finally getting to watch the tape-delayed coverage of the
San Marino Grand Prix.  Basically, I enjoy any sport that includes
motors and wheels, but prefer series where the vehicles have to
turn left AND right!
On the personal side, I'm a lifelong motorsports addict with an
emphasis on sports cars.  I currently serve as the Rally Events
Director for the Des Moines Valley Region of the Sports Car Club of
America (SCCA) and have been active in local rallies and Solo II
events (also known as autocrosses, slaloms or gymkhanas) for over
25 years.  I currently drive a mildly modified 1971 MGB roadster in
the speed and skill events, and a 1974 MGB-GT for rallies.  I'm
also an SCCA licensed race worker (race marshall), Solo II Safety
Steward, and Road Rally Safety Steward.
Hope to hear more from you and don't worry too much about your
English, we'll  figure it out!

By the same token,  I still watch the Indy 500, although with a jaundiced

I had to laugh when one of the Michigan drivers, was it Michael Andretti, who
said the 500  would be a farce, since they didn't have any veteran drivers.
Then, the biggest crash in Indy Car history at Michigan took out a slew of
veteran drivers.
