I am very happy that NASCAR is starting to change a little bit. They are now adding dirt tracks and more road courses. Its a small change but at least it is a start. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3103 | My interest in NASCAR waned when they introduced "the car of tomorrow," which requires all teams use essentially the same racing car platform as opposed to cars they themselves designed and built. I loved it when Ford raced actual Fords, Chevy raced Chevy's, etc. I especially enjoyed going to the local stock car track where locals actually raced and passed each other frequently; if I wanted to watch a train I'd go to a frat house and watch the boys have their way with a drunken co-ed at 2:00 AM Saturday night.

I think we would all rather see them in AMC Pacer's. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

In the late sixties there was a commercial dragstrip about 20 miles from here. Everybody took their muscle cars and raced each other. The big block Ford Fairlanes and Galaxies and Mustangs won a lot. That stuff is huge fun when you're 19 and 20 and 21. Not so much after that. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

They used to do that with the IROC series but it wasn't popular. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I forget how the joke went about the Ford Pinto and the Audi 5000. The Pinto had the risk of a fire from a ruptured gas tank in a rear collusion, and Audi had an issue with unintended acceleration. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4178 | I do not remember the last day I didn’t go golfing! (If I tried I could figure it out). Played at nicest course in Buffalo yesterday. Friend had to work a few hours in the morning and wasn’t sure when the cases would be done. Called at 10:15, asked if I could play at 11:00. (He is a member; I’d be his guest). Arrived 10:55. On first tee at 11:00. Of course by 2:00. For those who do not golf a 3 hour round is spectacular. We only caught one foursome and they politely let us play through. I am a tad jealous, but I like playing different courses more than the ‘luxury’ of having one course to belong to. Glen Oak this morning..... |
