Re: NASCAR thread
well I guess we can all start making predictions for next year...
I am really hoping its a dominating year for ford...namely Carl Edwards! David Ragan was really starting to get better hopefully he can start the year with a win as well. As much as I dont wanna see JJ win another one (I dont hate him or dislike him just want to see other talent win) Its a very real possibility.

Re: NASCAR thread
I think some rule changes could really shake things up next year. Perhaps
No team rules No pit crew swaps No top 35 lock in BS No freaking chase Ditch the owner championships in all divisions Limit teams to 2 cars MAX and give special perks to single car operators Have at least 2 races on dirt each season If the chase must stay use different tracks, but I really hate the chase format.

Re: NASCAR thread
Its 2006 data published in 2007. Its the fastest thing I could find. Good info though. I was surprised at how many American made vehicles are still made here. I have been under the impression for years that if you wanted an American made vehicle you needed to buy a Toyota or Nissan. Its quite the opposite in most cases. Im sure some of these numbers have changed but Im also sure none of them have changed drastically enough to say that you need to buy an import to get and American made vehicle. Im gonna look more into this. Hey, at least we know our machs were made in America!

Re: NASCAR thread
Ford and GM are the only American car companies. Chrysler is owned by Fiat. I guess they could run Mercury, Lincoln, Buick, or Cadillac.

If you're fast enough for the 'show', you're in! The slowest cars go home! And I think that the last race of the year should be at a road course ...pick one...Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca...whatever! And no more Sprint Cup guys racin' in the Nationwide Series ...leave that series to the guys & gals that want to learn & move up...Trucks, okay

If you like racing more like it was in the early days, the modified series is awesome. It could be I'm a bit prejudiced by my past but modifieds are just a blast to watch. I have memories I cherish from the mid 60s to the early 70s that are burned into my mind. My dad was involved in that division as a driver, owner, and builder from the late 40s until the 70s. He was never big time but was a steady driver that took me to every event he could. It messed me up for life.

Re: NASCAR thread
Pretty much.
We can Grandfather in Mopar, but that's it. There should be a tourist trap at the tracks. A port-o-pottie conveniently placed over the toiletta display,.............. SPLAT !!!!

Re: NASCAR thread
I there has been talk of late of allowing Cup drivers to race any amount of N'Wide races, but not be eligible for the championship. Not a bad idea, maybe a seperate trophy got those who do chose to participate. I thing that a racer wants to race at any opportunity, and whether its the truck series of N'Wide series it's an additional chance to get behind the wheel of a race car and compete.

Re: NASCAR thread
Good point, but it would be cheaper for nascar to give trophies
to people in the stands at truck races. 100,000 fans disguised as empty seats. NWS is getting to be the same.

They gave the fans a thrill, picked up some show money, and normally put on a good show. Many times they would drive local cars. I remember having Petty, Pearson, and Donnie Allison show at our home track around 1969. They drove mid pack LMS cars when the seats were given up by the car owners. They finished 1st, 2nd, and 4th in those "filler" cars. Allison was actually leading the closing laps but when he was challenged by Pearson it gave Petty a chance to pass them both. What an exciting night. I was roughly 10 then and standing on the tire rack of our trailer when my Dad told me to get his helmet out of the truck. I handed to David Pearson who was about to take my dad's modified around some in practice. It was a different time. I remember the drivers above and some of the locals having hot dogs, bologna burgers, watermelon, deviled eggs, RC cola, and crackers on our tailgate and open trailer. That was the short track life back then. It was the time of my life and I sure wish I had a digital camera back then.

I'm with ya about being more of a fan to the local track, all of ours are dirt. Must better racing. You got 20-25 laps to get to the front and you have to live with the pre-race setup.

Re: NASCAR thread
Oh, I just remembered, the season is over...Thank goodness! I guess I'll look forward to next season. Maybe. The driver I really don't care for, but starting to like just a little, is the BEST and most EXCITING driver out there. That's not good. I'm still gonna say gooo Carl anyway.
