Any Nascar fans out there?

[Scott Bond]

Hi all

Tonight at 5:00 Pacific time

is The Bud Shootout(Nascar)

 

(((Next week The Daytona 500)))

What car do you pick?

[Racer X]

Actually, this is a little more my speed.

 

The new Ducati MotoGP bike. 230+HP at 16,500 RPM.

326 pounds. Last years bike hit a trap speed of 209 MPH at Mugello. Can't even imagine going the speeds these guys do, draggin' knees around the corners. Especially with a contact patch the size of a credit card. Can't wait until April 18th!!

M&M's and UPS baby!!! Here we go!

I waited thru the football stuff,I'm hoping you can wait thru this thread.

 

Who do you pick?

[Jayson Kramer]

Moto, That is sweeeeeeeeeet

[Racer X]

Scott, I didn't mean anything (nor did I intend to hijack). I sincerely appologize anyway.

 

I wish that NASCAR raced on more road courses. Those are always the best to watch IMHO. But, I also know that this is the biggest week of the year for all the fans that have waited too long over that blasted winter break.

 

Personally, I was always an Ernie Irvan fan. However, those days are long gone......

 

Cheers

Hey Moto,, all is good

Daytona is like our superbowl ,,,except instead of being the last event --it is the first.

Jay the Bud Shootout still has 18 laps left to go on TNT. I think Jr. can come up from 11th

As soon as they dig Mayfeilds fender out of the wall,,, they will all have 4 fresh and 6 laps to go.

[Jayson Kramer]

Those are nice looking cars.

They get so close to each other at such fast speeds.

Yep!!

Everything is going good,,, and this race will be just as close as the Bud shootout's 20 cars but the 500 has 43 cars.

I have family pack tickets from Irwindale, and Ventura speedways, as well as some other cool stuff for our Raffle every 30 minutes. We have a live band, shopping, food and Beer for about 10,000 ..

Bud Shootout is just as exciting as an official

race for points. Dale Jr. just dominates daytona

even with a dropped spoiler and softer tires.

[Scott Bond]

Welcome adem1

Exellent ,,a first time poster,,

Tell us about yourself,and who

do you think will be fast on race day?

I am a Moldmaker in Rochester NY.

And I Love Nascar. Dale Jr is my fav. so i have to

say hell be fast this year. However I think either

Jimmie Johnson or Ryan Newman will be real fast

and reall tough to beat. It'll be interesting to see how the new points system will hold up.

[jbel]

Moto,

 

Nextel Cup cars on a road course is like a bull in a china shop. They're just not made to do that.

 

Here goes the hijack

 

While the races are more interesting, F1 all the way for real road racing. As for that new Duc, , lust is the only word that comes to mind.

 

230+ hp on 325 lbs!!!!

It would definitely be a one way ticket for me to the dirt condo pushin up daisies but man what a way to go!

[Dan Schnars]

Thanks, guys! 1 down 36 to go...

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

I keep up with it enough to see if any MC customers are winning. Sometimes I'll watch a race, but not very often.

 

Dan, Way to go!

[Toolfab]

HMMMMM who would I pick.............

 

 

Go Tony....

[Noel]

Me thinks Jr wont be so gentle come sunday.Should be interesting to see how the fords do with the new concesions ie cylender heads and body.Good luck Dan even though i root for the bowtie brigade.

I think adem1 nailed it when he said Newman and Johnson will be real fast but you can never count Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart out of it. Dale Jr. the "prince" of Nascar, and any DEI cars for that matter, will always run well on the super-speedway/wind tracks (and Dale Jr. didn't do so bad on the road courses towards the end of last season either).

 

I have been rooting for Jimmie Johnson cause the guy showed so much potential right from the get go but my wife said she thought he was cute Saturday night so I've got to reconsider rooting for him. I also like to root for Terry LaBonte and Dale Jarrett cause they both seem like real humble individuals with lots of class.

 

I guess it doesn't matter who wins to me as long as it is a clean race that's not decided on fuel mileage.

[Noel]

Jimmy Johnson realy needs to get a better wax job on his eybrow dont you think

[Robby GM]

Oh yes, big fan ao nascar

fav driver Dale Jr

anyone notice nose of the #8 ,looked more

like a snow plow, ?? on new airo package

[Noel]

It will be interesting to see if the new faster wearing softer tire compound will work in favour of the older drivers .I thing the hard charging youngsters will have to learn to pace themselves a bit more.Alot less 2 tire stops at the end of the race i'll bet.
