assistant: Hello Darrell,
I'd like to cast my vote in support of you providing the
information that NASCAR provides through their i-net site.  I
have access to it via the i-net, but I much prefer having it
in the format that I can catalog easily and refer to in my
fido mail packets.
What software are you using to properly translate from html to
text?  I keep getting staggered lines, etc with the combos I
have at hand (I was going to volunteer to do this at one
point).  I wasn't willing to take the time to re-orient all
the information manually.

       I think we will see that no matter how good the driver, except for
a few cases like Senna and Schumacher, the car package will really hide a
drivers ability.  A real test would have been a McLaren or Bennetton,
cars that are near the top.  Then, if he continued to show well his
ability could be judged.  With the Footwork, he may drive his arse off
and still run misrebly.

has fielded more cars and drivers at Indy than any other owner in recent
history and probably all time.  If you rank the St. James races and her
results, she will most likely be above the average finish for all the
rest of the "MEN" that Simon has provided rides.(by that I mean not
better than all the men, just better than the average finish of the men)

assistant: I'll join Joe on this one too.  A recent quote by Michael Waltrip
on Speedvisions Inside WC Racing, had the same idea.  He wanted at least
to get rid of the front air dam especially on the restrictor tracks.  He
figured this would once again spread the good drivers from the average
onees and thereby avoid those massive wrecks that seem to be cropping up
at Daytona and Talladega.

assistant: That should be *very* smelly. Even worse than Manzanita Speedway when the
wind wafts across the slaughter house and rendering plant. Keep in mind
that the new "St. Louis" track is in EAST St. Louis, IL... a festering boil
on the buttocks of the world. Large amounts of garbage dumps - not
landfills, DUMPS!!! - with smoldering fires and rotting garbage for the
aromatic delight of the CART fans.
The new "St. Louis" venue is a rebuild of St. Louis International Raceway a
successful (national championship caliber) drag strip and semi-successful
road course - albeit one with little elevation change and thoroughly
unattractive scenery... although watching the rats from the nearby dumps do
their mating dance - or the lot lizards and truck drivers from the truck
stop across the street do theirs, could prove diverting.
I wish 'em luck... I'll attend a race or two there, probably. But, like
many, on Memorial Day weekend my eyes, ears and heart will be in
Indianapolis with A. J. Foyt, Buddy Lazier (I used to sell him Hoosiers),
and the new version of the Menard team.
ENJOY!!!

Hello Carrie, I'm a Ironhead fan (ducking) and yes I beleive his injury has
played a factor in his championship quest. Jeff has had a good year though
and it seems he may win number 2 if his texas teammate doesn't take it from
him.
shows how good all those cars in Hendrick Racing are. sad to see  Ken will be
leaving though he has had a tough year. word is Ricky Craven will pilot the
#25 next year. perhaps then Jeff will be Battling against 2 of teammates

and of course the Yates cars will always be a factor I hope !!!
