I think I like everybody in proportion to how much I know about them and how often I hear their name, with a little bit of regional favortism thrown in. But there's no, "I can't stand that asshole, Dick Trickle!" And I'm only a mildly militant Chevy guy.

Actually that goes for NASCAR and ILX...
― Kerm, Friday, 7 March 2008 17:22 (sixteen years ago) link
I fear a big one on this thread now.
Kyle is so misunderstood. I like his recklessness more than Robby's, because it seems less emo and he's in control enough to bring things back from the edge - I think people are seeing him as less preumptuous now that the extent of his skills is becoming clear. I'm glad that RG appealed and won, though. "Actions detrimental to stock car racing," lol.

I know I'm not there yet, but part of me wants to be the Robby Gordon of ILX.

haha Tony Stewart/Tombot OTM
Guess I have to be Danica Patrick(not many options)
Kerm, you can do it. Just keep your nose clean and you'll stay in the top 35.

Kyle Busch is crazy talented BTW. I have him in an office pool.

Greg Biffle as gabbneb Richard Petty as Ned Juan Pablo Montoya as chaki
― felicity, Friday, 7 March 2008 18:52 (sixteen years ago) link
I knew there was a reason for fear
Biffle's from a part of Washington that's politically significant, but seems totally uninteresting from a tourism perspective. Not that I've been there.

Do you have a problem with that Greg?

Brownie, Kyle would spin you out at random and not even notice, because he is a RACECAR, not a truck. Whereas Tony would put up with running behind you for a while and then very deliberately wreck you.
Dale Earnhardt Sr as Laurel, obv.

Tombot has tried, in the past, to deliberately wreck me. But I avoided it. Who's good at avoiding wrecks? maybe I am him.

Aw you are Truex then honeypie :)

I do like that car that has no sponsors. Can't remember the drivers name.
I believe that would be Travis Kvapil, who I think should be driving the Aflac duck car.

I bet 25 on Truex last weekend. You bet matchups so he was going against Boywer. Truex started in 3rd and ended up 2 laps down when it finished. I blame Goodyear tires and felicity.

close; victoria.

Boywer makes me so bad. He will top 10 you to death.
On a brighter note, my standing $5 bet on the Catsuppppppp Dude won me $40.

I was hoping that was going to be Chad Knaus of NASCAR Performance.
I wish I could find tape of that. All I have is Jimmie ringing the closing bell at the NYSE.

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.
Are you thinking of Slick Track? There's a "road course" in Long Beach where you ride around in mini stock cars.
Best driver: Loren Wallace for GEICO
― felicity, Thursday, 13 March 2008 23:19 (sixteen years ago) link
No, these were like model cars, not ones you could actually sit in. Someone dropped the name on another thread, and I've already forgotten again. I loved driving around in go-karts on the "road course" at Golf 'n Stuff in Ventura when I was 10-12, tho.
<3 Loren Wallace. Those guys are such geniuses.

this Roman Soldier Watercraft at the Glacially-Carved Valley commercial is kinda compelling
