Re: Kobay will go where he damn well pleases........ I predict Alexander Rossi will be at USF1 as a tertiary (developmental) driver, will be fascinating to see who Windsor picks up as primary drivers. Button and Rosberg at Brawn seems plausible... I love silly season! I agree that Kobayashi...

Good race, minus the lack of over-taking. Great venue. Bow to JetPilot for being there! Tired of people ripping on Button, he had a solid drive and didn't get into any stupid last-lap entanglements w/ Webber. Why would you? Is Ross sure he wants to let Rubens go? I don't know about that...

bummer, timing, as they say, is everything!

I suspect we'll never know, It looks like she's headed for stock cars eventually, anyway. Will soon leave us w/ only a few talented European and South American driver's in what's left of open-wheel racing in the US....sad:frown: nice invite, BTW, is that for real?

why do you say, she'd be "totally over her head" in F1? not to start a flame war, just that everyone bashes her and I'm not convinced she's a bad driver at all:confused:... to be honest, I think most of the driver's in F1 are w/in a hairs-breadth of each-other talent wise and the ride is...

think about this, you hire Kyle Busch and Danica Patrick while you are grooming talented open-wheel kids like Gabby Chaves (F BMW), Josef Newgarden (UK FF), and Conner DePhillipi (SB Championship) to take over the reigns in a couple years. The 2 characters will create huge interest in the...

'zactly! and yet, the Mc Mansions keep popping up around here. These homes will NEVER sell. dummies:mad:

What the US F1 team needs is a hero so reprehensible to Europeans that they can't avoid hating him (or her). Scott Speed looked and acted like a European F1 star (minus the talent), so he didn't interest Europeans and most Americans really didn't identify with him. I heard a rumor that Peter...

see you there! stoked! my favorite track:biggrin:

1) quit job 2) pay off house and all debts, kid's college, blah, blah, blah... 3) launch racing career as follows: 1. doubles of every Skippy race weekend for 1 year (72 races!) 2. Formula Mazda (car, trailer, spares, mechanic) 3. Buy 911 Cup Car and do the Rolex 24 w/ a couple...

have to, for work.:mad:

Interesting, did he turn it into a "rat-rod" too?:biggrin:, faux rust, whitewalls and baby-moon hubcaps?

anyone know when/where/if one of these racer-owned cars has come up for sale?

Personally, I don't think Brawn would have succeeded w/ Honda motors. Lets face it, they were unreliable in the late days of BAR (remember how many Sato grenaded?) and under-powered in the factory (Earth-Dreams) Honda cars. Ross was smart to source is motors through Mercedes. He was also...

I only drove my friends M3 once on the street before his Stage 3 and it was probably comparable to a stock NSX in acceleration but did not handle or brake as well due to it's greater mass and higher center of gravity. Also the stock suspension seemed pretty soft. His car is a completely...

'zactly, I'm on #11.:biggrin:

Welcome Muneeb! Love the E46's. My buddy has one w/ a Dinan Stage 3, gonna take it down to Road Atlanta next month.:biggrin: NSX is a very different machine, blah, blah, blah.... anyway, welcome.

Congratulations to JB! Been a long time coming! The whole Brawn/ Rubens/ Jenson story is a testimonial to perseverance. i would have loved to have seen JB and Rubens on the podium together and have Rubens win his home GP, oh well, glad to see Jenson clinch the championship. Hate to see the...

Even if I could afford a faster and more expensive street car, I probably wouldn't get it. I would spend the extra cash racing. So, I guess the NSX is end-of-the-line for me.

Boycott monster!..., f-ing d-bags.:mad:

^agreed.

Was kinda cool as I've driven up that stretch of road (Loveland Pass, CO) many times and have always wanted to drive it in anger like that. I'm wondering, though, how much the times were influenced by experience and learning the course better as the day went on. Jist was the new turbo V6...

please don't drag race an NSX, makes us all look bad by association.:biggrin: seriously, a friend of mine had the previous generation CTS-V which he tracked on road courses regularly. I had the opportunity to drive it once and was impressed for what it is, which is a big, heavy car. Brakes...

I'v used the Dupli-Color kit on several cars w/ good results on every one except for the S2000. Keeps flaking off on that car for some reason.:confused:

Peterbilt had a Caterpillar motor (turbo 8 cylinder) and the Eaton 13 speed Road Ranger tranny. It was the absolute coolest thing I had ever driven at that point in my life (Smokey and the Bandit era:biggrin:). Empty, it pulled like a mutha and could pass cars going uphill. The Fleetstar...
