Saw the ALMS broadcast today. I do so love those prototypes. The footage of Mario abusing a Panoz was thrilling. It's an endurance race, yet there's still great passing for position at the end. Terrific series, but I wish it would venture more inland. Lots of FCY's at Charlotte. Since the USGP will also be a stadium course, the distinct possibility exists that Indy will also see more than a typical GP race's worth of FCY's.

Man, you know what amazed me?.. The exit from the road course onto the track at that real steep banking of the corner,... I thought fer sure someone was gonna bottom out and wreck there,... Thoze Panoz cars sure are crazy looking things. Paint em black and put a big yellow bat on the side and you got yerself the batmobile,.... Excellent racing.... > Lots of FCY's at Charlotte.

I was dissapointed on the turn out for Charlotte. I recall Max Papis (Ferrari) and John Paul Jones (Porche) racing to the thick in IMSA for 1st. at corner 10 at Mosport. Todays race was like that, except for the troubles the so called "top" teams had, did you see Audi? and even Panoz sucked, but won. Despite the fans not showing up, it was great. and I have no Idea where the NASCAR dolt's were. > >

Well of course, one deployment of the safety car would be more than a typical GP race's worth. Mind you, there were probably more deployments last year than ever before. -- David Betts (davidb@motorsport.org.uk) "In the end it's always a matter of more accelerator and less brake" - Frank Gardner Photo albums: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u440&Authúlse

Attending a true stock-car race with real passes and tight competition requires that those justifications for exclusively following NASCAR be all the stronger. An unexamined faith requires extreme behavior in its maintainence.

Hi Brian, I would disagree somewhat. Following NASCAR is suddenly trendy. Why else would there be all those .com cars and race sponsors? On 2 Apr 2000, Brian P.

The NASCAR Marketing Juggernaut im suspecting,... NASCAR went through the roof over tha lat five years, but has hit its peak,.. I give e alot of tose .com sponsors (the IRL included) only a couple of years. (I had never enen heard of northern lights befor ethe IRL).... Its only a matter of time before the bottom falls out of the over-inflated internet technology stocks. They have the money now, but i think a lot of those companies will become very devalued in a couple of years... Whats gonne be the NEXT big thing on the internet?... Mark my words, ASP's are coming. I think those would be the next smart investment in online technologies. > I would disagree somewhat. Following NASCAR is suddenly trendy.
