assistant: What's with all the Gordon bashing in here?  The kid's been a
winner in every category of racing he's been involved with.
He obviously has an edge in skill that only comes along once
in a while.  Just to reach the major leagues of one's sport
exemplifies rare talent, but to excel among the best takes
something else altogether.
The best athletes and competitors share very similar
reflexes, understanding of equipment and techniques.  Then
there are the chosen few who have that certain edge.  It may
be something as simple as eyesight advantage, the ability to
see things happening further away or peripherally.  Maybe it's
the ability to see things in slow motion that others can't.
Musial (sp?) and Ted Williams could see the laces on pitched
baseballs and it set them apart for greatness.
I'm saying that Gordon has the "touch".  In an era of
homogenized, almost cloned equipment in the silhouette series of
Winston Cup, his skill level sets him apart from the ordinary.
He's got the fire to dig down deep when it's needed to ride a
ragged edge and play games with physics.  Cheer for someone else
(I do), but don't attack talent.

at the Penske South test facilty...
Anyone have any Idea about the out come of the testing????  And
doesn't Nascar mandate that all race cars are based in production
vehicles?  So should we get ready for the release of a 2-door
Ford Taurus production car for us Taurus drivers????

assistant: Hi John
        The NASCAR Taurus will be a 4-door model. Next time you see the
Taurus on television, look closely at the side windows. You'll see that the
window of the rear door and the small window behind it look just like the
4-door street car. Of course, like Ted Musgrave said, it doesn't matter
whether it's a 2-door or a 4-door since they get in it through the window.

Well, maybe you aren't watching the right sprint cars .....    ;-)
At the old Ascot in SoCal the wingless sprinters of the old CRA were the
premier series for more than 30 years. No other division could match the
show (although flat track motorcycles came close for a while). The
stands were packed every Saturday night. The bombers, sportsmans and
modifieds, all running on the same night) had sparce fields and half
empty stands ....
Sprinters, to me, have a pure essance about them. There is absolutely
nothing on a sprint car that doesn't have to be there. And watching the
wingless sprinters back into the corners is quite a sight.....
Unfortunately, they do have a reputation as being dangerous. They are
hard to drive and especially hard to learn to drive, and the open wheel
guys resisted going to full roll cages way too long (probably before
your time ... ). And, yes, I kinda wish they would go to on-board
starters to speed up the show. But I sure like watching 800 horsepower
back into sticky clay corners ....

assistant: Sprint cars rank up there right with the rest of the death traps in racing
like Funny cars, Indy cars, Modifieds aren't much better.  I don't see what
people see in those cars.  They are boring to watch and take too long to
finish a race if there are a lot of yellows.  Don't get me wrong, I love
racing.  If fact, I spent the entire season on Saturday nights racing at the
Boone Speedway (IMCA Super Nationals), finished 5th. in points out of 96
cars.  And I wasn't even trying to be that high.  The sprint cars took so
long to finish their feature 2 years ago at Nationals on finals night that
they said whoever was in the line-up for the next yellow, would be the final
line-up for the race results for that feature.  Everybody was glad when they
were done.  They have their own night for heat races and features now instead
of when the rest of the Hobby Stocks, IMCA Stock cars, and Modifieds finish
on the final night of racing for Nationals.  I went to area beside the track
when the Sprint cars were running.  The stands were not as packed as the
previous 2 nights or the following 2 nights.  You know what that tells me??
Sprint cars are dull and NOISY!!
