I can easily see these taking the trend of the G8s. Autos bottoming out in the $15k-$18k and manuals not dipping below $20k.

The Charlotte Road Course is too small. It is great for SCCA and Miatas, but NASCARs are too big and powerful. They would putter around the track and hardly put their foot down until the speedway portion.

Not sure where you have been... Porsche like objects have been there for a while.

So many MPGs

Member cheap transportation.

Nope, I believe their goal was to push 4000 units per year.

They also didn’t do a good job making it affordable. That is the biggest flaw.

pretty much used car hell. owns most of the dealers south of OKC. You’re better off plucking one out of a field.

CP, can get the same for 40% less... Sure you may have to wrench it a little, but everything is original.

I fail to see a problem here.

Hmmm, this certainly looks familiar

TL:DR

I chose the Gordon side of Gordon/Earnhardt. I always respected Earnhardt and his abilities. Having respect for your rivals is what makes rivalries fun. You saw Gordon and Earnhardt race each other hard, but they never intentionally wrecked each other. When you lose that respect, all civility is lost.

Once you decide to plow someone into the wall terminally damaging cars and involving innocent bystanders (which thankfully didn’t…

I agree, it is rather sad to see the state of Roush Racing. They use to have such a good talent pool and now they can’t even put together a race without their cars getting tore up. They use to be a Busch series juggernaut with very talented driver, and now they are having problems holding onto who they have.

haha, I am not going to go there. But, the team dynamic sure changed when Bobby Labonte left the 18. Wonder if Tony sensed something lol.

Exactly, but if you could pull that off with a 36 race schedule and the competition we have now, why should you not win the championship.

I liked Roush Kenseth better. I like how he quietly and strategically won when you least expected it. Since he moved to Gibbs, he has changed.

Looking at the wind speeds for the entire period of the race, I have my doubts. This is a plot of wind reports from the weather station at the nearby airport from 18 to 24Z (2pm to 7pm CDT). The value is taken roughly every 5 minutes. Is it possible that it guested a couple knots, perhaps. Is it enough to affect the…
