You should have seen them a few weeks ago, they went 45 laps without a full green lap. -- Steve Levett "Thom j." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:cyl47.7766$[email hidden]... > Fwiw, > I have been watching the Cart Molson Indy Toronto on ESPN & > it looks more like a PapyLoop N4 Demo Derby then a Cart race! > Really odd and I never thought I would see so many accidents via > Cart in one race.. phew.. > -- > Cheers Thom_j. > > > > --- > Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.262 / Virus Database: 132 - Release Date: 6/12/2001 > > -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =-----

Fwiw, I have been watching the Cart Molson Indy Toronto on ESPN & it looks more like a PapyLoop N4 Demo Derby then a Cart race! Really odd and I never thought I would see so many accidents via Cart in one race.. phew.. -- Cheers Thom_j. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

True... not able to stitch 10 clean laps together it seems. Too many young guns nowadays, I think. Not enough patience. Trying times for the TV motorsport viewer today. First Trulli ends the F1 WC in the 1st turn of the GP and now this. Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn. "Thom j." wrote...

I missed that one as I was racing online and the way it sounds I'm glad I did!! I just love watching fast-tight clean racing but accidents just mess up a good race..phew.. "Steve Levett" wrote: | You should have seen them a few weeks ago, they went 45 laps without afull

What I couldn't figure out was exactly when did Andretti get ahead? He was in 13th, I went to the bathroom, and then he was in first. Attrition, or really good driving? What did I miss? "Thom j." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:cyl47.7766$[email hidden]...

Real burst of speed by Andretti then two retirements put him first. Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

He didn't need to pit. After the leaders pitted he was in second and the leader pitted. .

He was alongside DC all the way up the pit straight, and on the inside of copse. DC should have let him have a bit more room. It was his choice, turn in on Trulli and end his championship there and then, or give him space and be on the inside into the maggots/becketts complex, probably regaining the position. And even if he went down a place, there was still 59 laps and 16 corners to challenge for the race, especially with Hakkinen up front (who would let him through). I am a brit who likes DC, but sometimes you gotta face the facts - he threw the race and the championship away because he thought the race was won or lost at the first corner.

At the time being in DC's blind spot- a drivers view confirms that "look right" would not have shown trulli's car. As a T1 incident, DC should have known better though, how many times do we have to watch these T1 incidents before drivers realise they should get in line and get the first lap over with before racing? Trulli parked up and disconnected, while DC was able to continue with damage for another couple of laps before disconnecting in a huff about being at the blunt end of the field for the next 60 odd laps and not being able to "race with the fast guys". "That's the last time I play in a PRO damage race" DC was later heard telling anyone who'd listen in VROC. :o) cheers John

LOL! A good one :-) - Samu
LOL. No sign of an "NP" after Trulli's "S" either :-) <snip> > > "That's the last time I play in a PRO damage race" DC was later heard > telling anyone who'd listen in VROC.

Did you also see Fittipaldi kill a seagull? About 20 laps from the end there is a restart after one of the many incidents. Even during this restart Memo Gidley hits the wall, but as the leaders go around turn 2, a seagull doesnt quite get out of the way in time.

Another seagull?! Man, reminds me of FastDetails.com's wallpaper showing the #78 Audi walloping a dove that was just chillin'...of course, it was just chillin' in Turn One at Sebring... :-) SD
