the Kyle Petty/Paul Newman/Gunnar Jennette Car had the most outragaeous paintjob. #45 DP. How old is Newman? He must be about 80? dave henrie

I am guessing that they are keeping Newman on life support during his time out of the car. Probably by the end of a stint he is near dead. Kyle Petty has been close to pathetc, IMHO. I saw him spin at least twice and nearly lose control several times. Poor guy should just stay out of race cars.

Nepitsim lives in NASCAR. If Kyle's last name wasnt Petty we'd of never have had to watch this non-driving hippie try to race year after year. He can take J.Andretti with him.

Rumor has it that www.nascarnet.com has the Citgo DP cars for download. Although I've been unable to access the site for a while now. Paul Newman is 79 years old and one of the most repsected drivers in the series. David Hobbs mentioned, "what if Newman had started competitive driving in his 20's, he'd be hard to beat". Kyle Petty is definately at the end of his career. But even the top drivers were spinning uncontrollable during that rain. Even Dale Jr. spun at least once on every shift he was driving...LOL. Too bad a mechanical breakage took them out of the race with about 15 minutes to go. The Nascar boys did pretty well this year. KJ

Probably by the end of a stint he is near dead. Considering how well PLN did in the Lime Rock T/A race last year in the wet, as well as the '02 SCCA Runoffs in a Gentilozzi Jag, I'd say he could out-drive many guys half his age. Also, Herr Henrie, PLN turned 79 in the last week or so. -jde

Man, I swear if Dorsey Schroeder said one more time how good looking the DP's were I thought I was going to puke. Talk about forced. The Doran looks about as good as a Pacer. Stop the madness!!! Proper cars at Indy and Daytona!!! "H_Kev55_" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

The Doran looks about as good as a Pacer. Stop the madness!!! Proper cars at Indy and Daytona!!! ------------------------ The real cars raced on Friday. The HSC raced the GTP's and Group c's I'd love to see the ALMS cars at Daytona. They'd make the DP's look like VW's -- Richard "ZZ" Busch Member: Screamers Racing League OAO CORS MARA TransAm RASCAR GPL Rank + 17.415 MoGPL Rank + 318.586 N2002 Rank + 7.695 TransAm Rank ??

The Crawfords are the first DP cars that look 'somewhat' like a racecar. I saw a picture of the Crawford next to the Doran, the Doran had a much higher Greenhouse. The Crawford looked wider and lower...which is how all racecars should look. They still don't approach the Porche 962, but at least they are getting somewhat more palatable. dave henrie

I feel sorry for Dale and Tony. They were doing some real ass-kicking until the car broke :( -Larry "Rudeboy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:CGBTb.389648$ts4.14245@pd7tw3no...

Ya I'll give you that. The Crawfords do look better, sort of like a baby Toyota GT-One ( not that I'm sure "baby" any thing is the look to be going for unless you're talking Legends) But the others really do look like Pacers they're so bulbous and squat. I understand the philosophy of the formula but couldn't they have made it a little more longer and wider to at least look like a racing car.
