Re: Cicada.. LOW!

Haven't seen the little buggers yet myself but I am certain that they will be a delicacy at the race track. Imagine a Coors and a fistful of Cicadas! Yummy! "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Eu2tc.76985$pJ1.74507@lakeread02...

Has anyone else wondered how/if the Cicada swarms will affect the Indy or CocaCola 600 races this weekend? And while I'm at it, who had the bright idea of giving every one of these bugs their own Star Trek phaser? Noisy bastaads! -Larry

The way I see it, the beat of gazillions of their tiny wings will generate enuf natural downforce to set new lap records (at least at Indy).

Yes, but don't forget the amount of litres of all sorts of body fluids and excrements these gazillions of little creepers will drop on their way across the track. I'm sure these will outweigh the added downforce. What's more, the downstream they generate will bge turbulent. We cannot be sure how detrimental how negative the effects of all those little vortices in the downpouring air will be. Maybe time for someone to grab the money making opportunity of inventing and installing Cicadalets (Toilets where Cicadas can go an relieve nature in an orderly way without interfering with the racing). We need a Cicada-Simulator as well now, of course. Achim

I used to think the same way. But, CART screwed itself up to the point that I can't believe I was rooting for those jokers. Since they abandoned oval racing I say let CART rot. Yet, I'm not a big fan of Tony yet either. Mike On Thu, 27 May 2004 10:46:17 GMT, "Steve Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I watched my first CART race on Spike last weekend. I felt like I was watching someone play an arcade game. "Push To Pass" ? Paleaaase!!! Mandatory green-flag stops? You must be kidding. The race was a total farce. Being the best driver or having the best car has absolutely nothing to do with winning in CART now. They should be broadcasting on the Game Show Channel. -Larry "Mike Donnelly Jr" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yeah, that reminded me of the 'nitro boost' on a driving game. What Einstein thought THAT one up?
