Do you think there's a chance we might see these in NASCAR some day? Man it would be awsome. I might have to take a trip to Mid-Ohio and see that car run, haven't been up there in a few years. I have seen the GTO set up to compete in "Drifting" competition but I hadn't seen this car yet. Thanks for the post!

70455RA, without being mean, and I will try not to be, you are an ignorant man. That is the best thing I can say about your inability to comprehend what racing series that is and the ability to actually SEE a REAL race http://www.speedtv.com/articles/auto...cing/10298/car.

Go find a clue would you please.

looks nice ,

what other entries(cars) will she be racing against ?

donnyrmoss · #6 03-20-2004, 08:48 PM

70455RA, yes the icecream @ Norwalk still kicksa$$, but like at all the dragstrips the prices on all the other stuff is unreal, i.e. pop-$3, hotdog-$3?, I know these vendors have to pay rent on their spaces @ these events and the only way they can make a reasonable profit is to jack-up the price, but if folks will buy it that's the way it'll be. It really is not the vendors' fault. Nickv, what about NASCAR runnin' roadcourses? Gotta goad ya' a little bit, don't I!?

Speaking of Norwalk. I was up there a few years ago and they had huge cups of ice cream for a dollar.Do they still do that? It was worth the 11 hour drive just to here my dad telling everybody about the ice cream.Nice track too.I can't believe you compared THE TAMELESS TIGER to that car.Please stop the blasphemy.

Diffently gets attention

What racing series is that.That's the biggest group of riced out cars I've ever seen.Do they have neon under them or little flashing lights on the wheels?

I like the Goat image above the rear quarters!

Man you guys take this personal don't you.I don't like toilet bowl racing(nascar)either. I'm not saying anything against the gto itself, gotten so I kind of like it. But please what a funky looking race car. I feel sorry for the poor car with all that crap stuck on it. Just giving my opinion. Personal attacks weren't necessary. Now get the GTO's to the drag strip where we all know the real racing is done.

FLORIT-you got me on that one I did mean Martinsville! There is a Martinsburg here in OH. and after working 10 hours and a beer or two, you can't blame a guy for gettin' the names wrong, sorry. BTW I know those infield parties are a hell of a good time!

FLORIT · #13 03-19-2004, 08:59 PM

Looks like the Goat had a "mechanical problem" on Lap 14. Anyone know what happened, or do I have to wait until the race is broadcast on Sunday, 21-Mar-04 @ 1:00 PM EST?

That mirrors the Holden emblem they use on the Supercar V8 Series cars.

I knew the "rice" paranoia was excessive in the US, but I did'nt think it was bordering on moronic...

HUMBLER · #16 03-22-2004, 05:32 AM

Any thoughts on the championship round of NASCAR, that should be some good racing?

Heard the IRL was a bore fest as usual with about 2 people in the stands, didn't catch it.

Shame we didn't see the goat IN the actual race at least, looking forward to mid ohio.

Anyone going to the first truck race in Mansfield this year?

How about Button on the podium? Villeneuve you idiot, what a slap in the face. Anyone know if they re-air the F1 during the week?

HUMBLER · #17 03-24-2004, 11:53 AM

I know we got our tix about 2 days before they sold out, we tried to call back and get more!

I'd be "driven" too if I made well over 50 mill a year. That equip. he has ain't bad either!

I just think it is hilarious the year Ville jumps ship (or was pushed off) that Honda gets a podium. I've been a fan ever since the Players days in CART but man he crucified himself there in the end last year. Oh well guess I'm back with Montoya, he was always great to the fans in the pits at Mid Ohio.

Who all might go to Mid Ohio? Would be cool to have an impromtu GTO show in the infield.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Actually Martinsburg is the easiest track to shoot for on a weekend from Ohio. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Do you mean Martinsville, VA? I live about an hour from there. Went to watch qualifying once. I started cheering for Bobby Labonte a few years ago because he was driving a green Pontiac. (My Grand Am is green.) Now he drives a Chevy.

I've been to the Daytona 500 twice. Big infield party. Probably saw ten laps total of racing. Don't remember much else.

Long story short, though, watching NASCAR on TV puts me to sleep. I judge the quality of a race by how good the nap was.
