situation with a blown tire?

"They" means Nascar and the restrictor plate rule.   Racing is just to close
for my liking.  No one can get out of anyones way.

I KNEW people would start blaming restrictor plates for that wreck! That was
lap __FOUR__ - it could've happened at ANY track with 3-wide (or even
2-wide, really)racing. In those first few laps they don't have TIME to
spread out yet - plates or not!  Personally I like small packs. I DON'T like
5 cars (or even 12 cars) on the lead lap! I can't stand to see "the Big
One,"  but I DO love the spectacle of a close race with 20 cars less than a
second apart.

I heard you could preorder these new kind-of amiga motherboards
right now, they might be interesting. Also, a BeBox would have
made a great *** rig IMO. Too bad it was mis-managed into the
ground, too!

Cheers, Uwe

That's the point.  With restrictor plate it doesnt matter if its four or 140,
they are too close together.  Even on lap four at Chicagoland, C***te or
Atlanta I think you would find that field two wide instead of three.  I hate
the restrictor plates.  Love the draft of old and the strategy that went with
it.

oh well....

I think that's a reset.               <arrgh, that makes *me* even worse!>

No, it's "sys 64738".  Oh good, haven't joined the Complete Nerd Rankz

Your memory is probably fine.  A lot of people can't forget their first
poke.
