They are doing a thing on nascar drivers and the video games they play
maybe a real simulation will get mentioned instead of the playstation??
CART!!!!!
Wow I just heard a Nascar driver talking about racing against one G. Hill in
an F1 game based on the '67 season. Wonder what that might be... :)
Thanks for the update TRUSR

Oh BTW it's going to be on again at 12:00 AM. I only saw the last 3 minutes
of the discussion but it looked like some interesting stuff was brought up.
I'm going to see if I can find a link to the transcript on the FoxSports
website...

Some nice soul sent me this today ( Thanks Ron!):
This week, Fox Sports is showing pieces from a roundtable
discussion between Fox Sports Net racing commentator Mike
Joy and several NASCAR drivers (including Darrell Waltrip,
who retired last year and will be a commentator this year).
Today, the subject was racing games...
MJ - Mike Joy
DE - Dale Earnhardt
JG - Jeff Gordon
DJ - Dale Jarrett
BL - Bobby Labonte
DW - Darrell Waltrip
MJ: Four of us at this table grew up without computer games, and we've
got two avid players here. I know you (Labonte) burn up the phone
lines playing racing games, and Jeff, I know in the first few years
of your career, we'd all be out at parties and things, and you'd be
at videogame mall.
DW: AFTER he got home from the party. Don't believe (? covered by laughter
?).
But yeah, I'd like to know about that. How do you race-- I've seen
these
kids like Dale Jr., they'll qualify, run back to the motor home, and
start
playing games. Like they run the race... Like they do the track...
DE: Let me tell you what happened to me...
JG: To me, one of the best getaways, though, from the hustle and bustle
of...
OK, you know, let's say you've got to go out and make that car half a
second
faster for qualifying, the best thing for me to do to get focused is go
back
to the motor coach, pull out the videogame -- and maybe a racing game;
it
might be a sports game -- and I get so into that that I totally am
focused,
when I get away from that game, on what I've got to go do. It just, to
me,
gets my mind away from a lot of things.
DE: Dale Jr.'s got this table at his house, it's bigger than this, and
there's
four stations -- big computer stations. He sits there and plays four
friends,
and they're online playing more guys, and doing that stuff. And I went
over
there and drove a race against him one day -- Whoa! Don't do that...
Now I
understand it when he talks about going to these race tracks. We went
to
Sebring and tested for the 24-hour race not long ago. I've never seen
Sebring!
We go down there and he's all calm and laid-back. We go out and run and
he's
a couple, three seconds faster than me.
JG: (laughing) "Couple three seconds"!
DE: Or more!
DW: Yeah, not tenths -- seconds!
DE: (misheard DW) Seconds -- not tenths! So we're talking about it that
night,
and he says, "Man, I got on the computer and I ran the thing all week."
He ran Sebring all week on the computer, and I've never seen the place.
I should've been over at Dale Jr.'s on the computer!
MJ: Didn't you do that, Bobby, with Sears Point, the first times we went
there?
BL: Yeah, a couple times, I did. But really I haven't been able to do it as
much
because now I have two kids which take up more time.
DE: And THEY'RE playing...
BL: And they're playing computers. Yeah, now I'm working on the computer to
get
it going so they can play with it. But I have helped developed a game,
and
it is a lot of fun. Like Jeff said, you do get intense on it.
MJ: If they'd had computers all these years, and could recreate any driver
from
history, who would you like to race against?
DE: That's a tough one, Darrell...
DW: Yeah.
DE: My dad...
DW: Curtis Turner...
DE: No, my dad.
DW: Well, your dad, of course. You...
DE: My dad.
DW: I'd like to see Curtis Turner.
MJ: (to Earnhardt) Who would win?
DE: My dad. He'd still be thinking I'd still be trying to... (? laughing
too
much to be comprehensible ?)
BL: I raced on this one computer game, it was Graham Hill. I raced against
him,
in the old...
DW: Yeah.
BL: ...Formula One days, so that's pretty cool.
DW: Lotus...
BL: Yeah!
MJ: The 1967 Formula One series.
BL: Yeah, so I've raced against--
JG: I was going to say Schumacher.
DW: Oh yeah...
JG: I've raced him a few times one some Formula One games, so that was
pretty cool.
MJ: (to Jarrett) Dale?
DJ: Mine'd be my dad. I mean, I think it's a neat experience for Dale and
Junior
to do that. And, of course, I've raced with Jason in a couple of Busch
races,
so that's been good, but I'd love to have had that chance to race
against my
dad -- on asphalt; I wouldn't want him on dirt!
DW: I guess I'd race against my brother; I think I could beat him!
JG: We better get him into this discussion...
DE: Not in my car!
DW: Up to this point! Up to this point.

Maybe NYR2119935 is in the slam and is just looking for a little privacy.
Labonte is firmly in the Papyrus camp. Didn't know El Jeffe was a player,
tho.

=Which= NASCAR driver?
Thanks,
Chris.
Not sure about his name, he is the kind of portly looking guy with blondish
hair. Possibly Dale Jarret. Not a real big fan of NASCAR yet... It would
make sense that it was him because he made that Jarret/Labonte NASCAR game
for the playstation recently.

think it was Darrell Waltrip who said he'd like to have raced G Hill, oh and
Jeff Gordon said he'd like to race M Schumaker, they were discussing who
they would like to race in a sim-racing game given the chance to race
anyone, I could be wrong about all this, it might have been just a dream
