Yes. Do you recommend?

That probably depends on your tolerance for the "American hick in v sophisticated foreign country" act. I liked it alright. Also this is prob cradle-robbing but the lead is pretty cuet.

Thanks, my tolerance for that kind of thing is sky high.

I like 1959 just fine, but that thing started not great and threatened to get worse before I turned it off.
I think I have to scratch the 5 car off my list; dude just doesn't give me the right feeling.

so how about ryan newman then?? i was out and missed the 500 today but still. (I have relatives named Newman so I figured what the heck, if I have to pick a driver.) :)

I watched it from start to finish today because a) I live in the South and have never attempted to do it before and b) football's over. Even before the halfway point, I wanted to pluck my eyes out with a hot furnace poker.

he was very emo. i wished they showed more of Gordon's Charlie Rose act. i am still liking MW's commercials this season. failure = funny. carl otoh is in some less agreeable company this year.

Yes, you should go to Martinsville, or Richmond if you can. In terms of race atmosphere, Sonoma seems like it would be up your alley, but the viewing is not supposedly not great.
Gordon fan, eh? Very respectable.
Daria, Ryan Newman is a great choice, particularly if you have cousins Newman and like dogs.

oh no! there's white wine with goat cheese and fig jam in the parking lot, i suppose. i once looked up their driving school, but i'm sure i have a very long list of driving skills to confront before i get there. a road course might be interesting.

Road courses are cool, are they still running the night race @ watkins glen?
I'm not all that far from Richmond but don't think it's one of the more interesting tracks is it? too bad Talladega is as far as it is..

Watkins is a day race. Richmond is good racing, IMHO.

I don't prefer road courses, but changing things up is good, and I gravitate somewhat to the guys who have raced outside nascar (and maybe I think of right turns as more authentic?), like I gravitate to guys from outside the South/midwest, not that California isn't just as much a car culture. Unlike my mom, I've liked festivals probably since my dad dragged us to ham radio fairs, but while I have semi-fully partooken of other mass subcultures, I guess I feel this is one I come to as more of an outsider and with a more critical disposition. In a rebel flag culture, I've got my own dissension to wave. Which isn't to say that I'll be flaming out in 24 gear; that's too much commitment too.
Road courses do remind me of pole position, tho, as well as this toy-electric-track-racing place (what are these called?) I went to at least one party at as a kid. And the locations are interesting too - two wine countries and two foreign countries.

I like the road races too. Shakes things up a bit, plus you get to root for guys like Robby Gordon and Scott Pruett who don't have a chance in hell at places like Talladega.
― Bill Magill, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 20:32 (sixteen years ago) link
R. Gordon seems to be moving up in oval races a bit, but I don't think I will be rooting for him.
road courses have all those nice curves too.

Robbie Gordon is a TREAT LOL

lawrence, that 60s Can-Am footage is cool.
Can-Am looks like what would happen if agnes b. and Jean-Luc Godard got together and designed a road course series.

hey I could go to Richmond. how exciting. a night race would involve less SPF, but would it be the same?
the perfect gift for any home

i have determined the above to be a stupid question. maybe i will go to both. i will have to weigh vacation ideas.

speed commentator comes up with "juridicical" (i think the soft c would be more appropriate than an s) in re the matter of r. gordon.
i hope no one's too soggy and/or chilly out there

Junior: the track ain't ready today, we rushed into this, it was a bad move
― gabbneb, Sunday, 24 February 2008 23:59 (sixteen years ago) link
maybe they could let Gordon run 200 laps by himself
― gabbneb, Monday, 25 February 2008 00:00 (sixteen years ago) link
he needs all those other cars out there to help keep the track dry

Surprise! It's Cousin Douche.
We play a little game for the drivers and crew chiefs called "Douche or Hipster?"
Elliott Sadler: hipster. Carl Edwards: douche.
n.b., "Douche" does not connote a negative judgment. It's just a descriptor at the opposite end of the spectrum as the "Hipster". (e.g., douches "try.")
Burnout/drift heaven.

Carl seems pretty above it all - not trying - when no one's in his way; like he does all the extra stuff because it goes with the territory of a) racing and b) branding/bizzing, tho maybe they're backwards. I shouldn't have second-guessed myself in putting him above Kyle tho; I like the kid's style a lot more. Also should have stuck with instinct and left McMurray on the bubble. I like him better hatless and he takes Reed's and Reutimann's places.

Cousin Carl tries so hard, especially in commercials.
Vegas was good racing. The new tire control rule sent Carl Edwards to the back of the field. He is an amazing closer.
It was a shame the way Gordon wrecked Matt Kenseth at the end.
Why does Truex's crew insist on these 2-tire stops? That never, ever works out.

tight-smilin' mariano edwards
seemed like Gordon got a little over-excited after Jr's tires spun. 2 dnf's in 3 is not good. maybe he's gotten a little less cool because he thinks this season is his last chance at his 5th. quite a(n unSAFE) hit he took.
it was cute how Tony and Krzysztof Kieslowski did ballet spins together in the insurance company race, tho not as cute as if it were dale
― gabbneb, Monday, 3 March 2008 14:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes it's exciting. Last year Dale Jr. was your DNF leader.
Jimmie Johnson and Gordon have had appalling cars so far. Seriously, the tires on Jeff Gordon's Nicorette Chevrolet 24 were "smoking" all race long. Cough cough sputter sputter hack hack.
Gordon's still a cool customer. He'll race at least until he catches Richard Petty.

Friends of mine found some infield passes, borrowed an RV from a friend at a dealership, drove down from Portland and spent a long weekend in Vegas. Bastards.

believe it or not, it's not uncommon for me not to realize, at least before the fact, how many allusions I'm making. I also don't regard chartreuse as one of the miracles of science.
