Read an article two weeks ago, don’t remember where, about larger carb opening but mess’n w/the water pressure to prohibit two-car drafting...

[GRRRRR]

Oh, yeah...that was it. Make an adjustment to the pressure relief valve or something so they can’t hook up without the engine overheating...

More stupidness. Take off the plates, let the horses loose. Of course after the Phoenix tragedy of Wheldon...there would be no surprise if they cap top speed at 75mph like on the toll way.

[glock rocks]

Great tagline. That'd be around 56 hours of sleeplessness in dog time.

Didja hear about the despondent dyslexic that threw himself behind a bus?

I'm dyslexic. You think I'm confusing, you ought to see what it looks like in here... channel surfing without the remote.

IIRC the liability insurance folks quietly told Nascar that anything over 200 mph was out after the wreck in 87 where Bobby Allison nearly went into the grandstand at Talladega.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Wrong-o. I’m first!!!

[nascarnation]

Wheldon’s fatality was at Vegas.

The Nascar restriction is not so much for the driver as for the spectators.

[MtnClimber]

Thanks for the thread grock! Tim Tebow will be starting for the Broncos against Miami so I will be flipping channels.

[tubebender]

Tell us again what racin was like in 1919 Granny... purty pleeze

[glock rocks]

I will be flipping channels.

Flip em like ya stole em!

[GRRRRR]

I beg your pardon, thanks for the correction.

Re that accident anyway...it’s the open wheels that are the problem. What do you think about some sort of fenders on the IRL cars? Make em all look like Dodge Vipers???

[glock rocks]

Maybe Tork will share some okra with you too.

[glock rocks]

Make em all look like Dodge Vipers???

Naw. 31 Cord.

It will help some. The 2012 chassis has that:

But the open cockpit is still the risk factor. There will always be cars that get up in the air wrecking at 200 mph.
The ones that happen to hit something with the driver’s head will still be a problem.

But compared to 30 yrs ago, these things are 90% safer.

Okra? I have a little FReeper Friend down in Louisiana who is growing a new mutant strain of Okra and I gave her your address...

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks for the thread!

Deepest Condolences and Prayers of Comfort and Peace to the families of those who died doing what they loved to do.. Race.

Did I ever tell ya I raced a bar waitress around a keg room one time?

No? Lucky!

[NormsRevenge]

I loved the lines of the Phantom..

1932 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental

[Publius Valerius]

Perhaps. But Jimmy Johnson made clear recently that he had no interest in driving faster.

I doubt there would be much support amongst today’s NASCAR drivers for taking off the restrictor plates.

[happydogx2]

No, what happened to the despondent dyslexic that threw himself behind a bus he says in his best Ed McMahon voice??
