During the Daytona 500 this past Sunday, Chevy ran ads about winning like 38 of 48 (or some similar ratio) of the TOTAL NASCAR Cup titles. |
of the equation. Cowards. Who were they running against? Olds? Pontiac?
Irony. GM may be going out of business.

Well you bring up Neil Bonnett so there is one thing he said after getting airbourne in the fence at Dega. It was after recovering from his head injury and the car left the ground and was in the air when it hit the catch fence. He wasn't hurt, and actually went to the TV booth to help call the remainder of the race. He actually thought the wreck might have been his fault till he saw the replay. He said two things that I never will forget. 1.) "I didn't get scared till it got quiet." He knew full well even when it was happening the severity of this wreck and the risk not only to himself, but his fellow competitors and the fans sitting behind those fences. 2.) "Not a one of them out there would have done it on purpose." or something to that effect. If you look back to the pre restrictor plate days, (new fans need to find some old footage its priceless) the one thing that stands out is how clean they raced. Bump drafting wasn't needed. They could pass the leader without it. The less aerodynamic cars were much like the trucks of today. The banging that did happen was when one car would push up into the side of another, but rarely did you see bumper to bumper contact and when you did it was pretty apparent that it wasn't intentional. The cars were strung out so you didn't see the big packs that you see now and when there was a spin, it was seldom more than a 1 or 2 car accident. Good thing too with the safety equipment they had at the time, these packs would have been extremely bad news. I remember how Bobby looked right after the wreck at Dega that put the plates on the cars. The look on his face was one of having been a part of a miracle and it wasn't himself he was concerned about. |
you have the shirt changers (wear who's happenin' baby!) and the mocha
drinkers and the 5 different bumper stickers depending on who's hot.

Chevy won a lot of those claimed "titles" when both Ford and Mopar were out of the equation. Cowards. Who were they running against? Olds? Pontiac? |
car/driver won. Then NASCAR decided that letting folks drive high quality
cars gave Mopar Hemi an unfair advantage; and so became the start of
minipulation and deciept.

the UAW to go fuck themselves, and they will come out of bankruptcy as a
smaller company that only sells what is profitable to sell. Perhaps after
going bankrupt, Toyota could buy them and only produce the good stuff. And
no, a front wheel drive Monte probably ain't one of the good ones. C6 Z06,
some of the trucks, an SUV or two (instead of almost a dozen kinds), a
full size four door, a two door full size, a mid size, and hybrid or two.
How many companies is GM these days? Caddy, Chev, GMC, Pontiac, Buick,
etc. They could trim back to just Chevy and GMC Truck, close 80% of the
factories; and be profitable again after coming out of bankruptcy. Toyota
is making money, no? How about Daimler - are they making money?

themselves from the financial shackles imposed by the UAW.

You win by who you can bluff into going with you around a guy and then stabbing them in the back by hanging them out to dry. There are better solutions, but NASCAR doesn't care enough to implement them. Heck, going to 6-cylinder cars would be better. If that's still too fast, lower the engine displacement. |
It doesn't matter how small the engine is, they will still be
bunched up in a pack with their foot to the floor all the way
around the track.
How about give them all a tank of nitrous to use - like the push
to pass in the champ car series. When your tanks empty, tough.
That'd be a helluva last lap dash. Who would be the lucky one to
save his for the G/W/C finish. LOL
