This may sound stupid but my radio station broadcasts the races and I only just realized last week that they do so many laps! Ithought it was only a few, I follow horseracing where it is only one lap.

NASCAR cars have 500 horsepower or more!!, that's why they race a lot of laps.....

Who is YOUR favorite driver(s)? Mine is Gordon (#24) Jr. (#8) Kasey (#9) and Jimmie (#48)! I miss NASCAR. I haven't been able to watch it for a LONG time!

LOL

I am ready...


Just one word for Robby Gordon.....


STUPID!

I have seen Gordon race almost everything......

And he finally came in first place by racing his mouth.

-------------------------------------------

I'm not a fan of Danica Patrick. I do want to see her win, but I after seeing her do a 'bikini spread' in some mag I thought that she was pulling a PR stunt.

You'd think that she'd let her skill do the talking....

My brother is goingt oIndy today...I sat by the phone all day yesterday waiting for him to call and ask me to go

Robby's complaint is legitimate. Most other racing series weigh the car with the driver. In the case of Danica, she's easily bought 50-75 pounds that no other team can get. When all else if fairly equal, that weight can be the advantage. that weight can equal a roughly 10 HP gain in engine power, in a series where the engines are all fairly even.n (sorry, no calc handy , o nthe wrong computer)

Danica is pretty, but after hearing her mouth in an interview she's about 34th on my list of favorite racers in the 500.

Now on to the important race of the day,..........


GO MARK!

[Lady's Human]

assuming Danica Patrick is 100 lbs ,her car falls exactly at the IRL 1525lb ( which most do)minimum and the engine is putting out about 750 HP ........

Danica's engine/ car combination with her in the seat is using 1 HP to move 2.17 lbs

assuming Robby's weight is 200 lbs and again, his car is at the IRL minimum and 750 HP..........

Robby's car is using 1 HP to move 2.3 lbs, which gives Danica almost a 6% advantage in HP to weight. IRL rules are set up to try and avoid this situation, obviously they need a little work. In NASCAR and F-1 the driver's weight is taken into consideration when weighing the car.

I wonder why, at Indy, they don't change the command to start engines to "Racers! Start your engines"? They've had other female racers before. That would cover anyone who was racing. Just my opinion.

LH,

Her body weight is offset by the weight of her purse, all the stuff she packed for a 500 mile trip and cosmetics - in case she won.


As it is, she was passed because she was checking her make up in the rear view mirror....In case she won....

O.k.


No more jokes.....

[Lady's Human]

Not to mention the 3 suitcases in the sidepods for her trip after the race.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

NAWTEE! NAWTEE!

Me thinks you all are just upset that she gave the good ole boys a real run for their money!!!!

You go girl!!!!
