Be very afraid, soccer moms! Only the Repugnican Party can truly protect your children from this new threat: 200 MPH suicide car bombers!

Post by: markie on March 07, 2006, 03:35:00 pm: Yeah not a single American car is a top 10 seller and now a camry is coming to nextel.

F1 looks like it should be great. Honda, Toyota, Renault, Ferrari and Mclaren could all have race and perhaps even championship winning cars. It would be great to see no team dominate.

But my love for it has been eroded by the constant bickering and rule changes. Somedays it feels like they left Rhett in charge.

He's too reckless to win that consistently. But having a 'bad boy' does make the sport interesting.

Yep, got my Monaco tix! Can't wait

Post by: organizedconfusion on March 07, 2006, 05:24:00 pm: MOTO GP starts in a few weeks. Those bikes are LOUD! 250cc!
But, if I had to choose: F1 sounds and looks better than nascar.
Nobody knows about motogp though. I think they race at laguna seca CA this year.

Is f1 going to be at indianapolis this year?

He got own3d by his team-mate last year. I do not forsee a reversal of fortunes.

He has a drive, these days he ambles more than races. Actually his team has the potential for doing well this year after being bought out by BMW.

Nope and nope.

Lauda did try a modern F1 car about 4 years ago after saying the cars were too easy to drive ("A monkey could drive one") he span off on his third corner.....

Although Fitipaldi's John Player Special might give him a run for the money.
