assistant: You are and it wasn't. The majority of the CART supporters hurt right along
with the rest of us and got upset with the rest of us when a couple of
Richard Cranium types gloated callously that Brayton had got what he
deserved for pursuing his dream of an Indy 500 victory. They were roundly
booed, hissed and then ignored. I can't recall seeing either of them around
here laterly. But, yeah, they were here and they were ghoulish. And they
did gloat.
Boy, you stirred some bad memories there. I'm getting steamed all over
again just remembering that deal. We ALL realize that all CART supporters
are not tarred by the brush weilded by those @$$h0le$. I wouldn't have
known Scott Brayton if he had bit me on the right fetlock. But, had one of
those ghouls uttered his poison in my earshot there would not have been a
repeat performance of it.... ever. It's sorta hard to make smartass remarks
after a guy that's 6'1" and 275# reaches down your throat, grabs your
sphincter ani and jerks you wrong side out.
The religious and political right have a lot of those same qualities -
rigid, intolerant, and mainly stupid. Fortunately we're all racers here in
one form or another and we understand that other views than ours may be
perfectly valid.  B^)=

Write your reply.

assistant: Hiya, I like Richard well enough to wish he was still racing.  Rusty has done
a good job this year but i think he is going to do better next year.  He
still has a few kinks to work out so he can be more consistant. Now of course
I'm a little biased but I think if they got a few of the less qualified
drivers off the track the better drivers could do better offensively rather
than having to always driving defensively trying to avoid the sloppy drivers.
I dont believe Gordons success is all dumb luck however I do think he is
lucky to the point where he doesn't run into the slow sloppy driver on the
track. I think Terry is going to give Gordon a real hard time for that
title!!  Good luck to them All I say!!!!(with one exception.. I really really
don't like Dale Earnhardt!! suffice to say I am incredibly happy he won't get
that Eighth title this year. TOO BAD!!!!!)

phases of auto racing, from photography to driving.  Spent 4 years as a
crew chief and as anyone who raced against our team will tell you, it
was NOT an honorary title.  When we first started they called us
"creampuff" racers and threw twinkies at us.  After our car kicked their
butts a few times the twinkie tossers were down there asking me what I
had done to the car...I told them I put twinkies in the fuel and to hit
the pit road...
I can't believe that there are still dinosaurs out there who think the

exchange a word outside of the car and popped him one..though brodrick still
had his helmet on..can't blame the officials there, ted just lost it as we

In the final analysis the race was more Damon Hill's to lose rather than
Jacques' to win.
