Nationwide Race

And then there's also this:

@Fred: Yep, I'm in Ohio now; racing season starts next week for the local tracks. Main Event Late Models and MSA Supermods are at Sandusky in May (May 21 to be exact).

I'm right in between Akron and Canton; Columbus is about 2 hours (I run my R/C oval car there). Other real race tracks within two hours: Sandusky, Lorain County, Painesville, Midvale, Mansfield (only running an ARCA race from what I understand), Shady Bowl, Erie, and Deerfield. Eldora's a good 3 1/2 hours for me, but still want to go. Toledo's a good ways away as well.

As far as July goes, I haven't really looked that far out at the tracks' schedules. I *think* Sandusky has the ISMA Supermodifieds out of the northeast in July, but I'd have to look.

@ABYSS: I'm diggin' them NR2003 renders I used to be pretty big into sim racing a few years back; even had my own short track series going for about ten years. You run any of the sims?

[Bigbuck]

Wow!!!!

Lmao, so you think Im old huh? News flash for you waterheads, I have a 220 mph 6 second 10.5 outlaw car sitting in my garage, anytime you think you have the balls to even turn the key I'd be more than happy to let you try it.
The being old comment really isn't that big of a deal anyway, at least I'm smart enough not to be brainwashed by crapcar into thinking what you watched yesterday is actually racing.

Now THATS impressive!!!!!

[Bobby Diehl]

Balbl or not nice cars!!!!

BUT I THINK Driving a 208 MPH into 147 MPH in a 3400 LBS RACE CAR with 8in wheels. NOW THAT TAKES BALLS!!!!!......Everyone has their our thing!!!!!...

Drag Racing

Ok , now that you brought up Drag racing.
I just couldn't ever get enthused about it.
Participation wise , not spectator wise.
It just seems like too much work and preparation and dollars
for such a short time on the track.
And to make matters worse.. the faster you make your car, the less
time you get to race.
I'd hate to tote my equipment across the state , buzz down the track
for 6 seconds and then pack up and head back home.
The only thing worse I could think of would be those Mud Drag things
they used to have at the tractor pull/monster truck shows.
They used to blast through that mud pit in like 1.2 seconds.
Just seems too little time to enjoy the competition aspect of motorsports.
To each his own. Or something.

Yes I do Jimmy, but that's for another thread all together, I get the feeling that's way over these ham&eggers heads!!

Hey, what do you want, I alreday told you I was impressed. And as far as watching the grass grow? YOU brought that up. Oh, and Kyle Busch having an attitude, you seem to be pretty impressed about yourself too! Guess it goes with all you 'better racers' I mean if Kyle said 1/4 the things about himself you do , he'd be banned. P.S. A little super spelling for you professor!

I agree Bobby, nothing against drag racing, it holds my interest about 2 mins at best. Green light, foot on floor 15 secs later its over. All about motor and traction, period.

Where did the Kyle comment come from tunaman, no doubt he can drive a race car, I wish he had more attitude, that's what nascar is lacking, even though they are all cookie cutter cars I'd be more interested in it if they would just let the drivers be them selves instead of all the political bs. At this npoint it's a 43 car IROC race with a buncha robots driving. Nascar is quickly finding out the real racefans are not showing up, it's all about asses in the seats like it or not along with souvenir sales and it ain't gettin er done anymore.

[Bigbuck]

HOT DAMN!!! I'll vote for that!!
Here's what I'm going to see Im going to see in the coming weeks.

Top 2 cars look like match box cars. craftsman truck? How long ago was that?

Mmmmm maybe you're right, I agree somewhat. Someone said Kyle was an ass, I apologize, I guess it was the professor Mr McKinkly when he admitted he disliked him because he drove a Toyota, I don't like Toyotas either but that's a pretty lame reason for disliking a driver.

I have to admit, most of those cars are a pretty impressive match box collection. Where is the antique craftsman truck?

[Jimmy McKinley]

You were right, ABYSS.

It went *waaaaaayyyyyy* over his head.

Oh - and Tuna...enough with the "McKinkly" thing, OK? It's *old* - and...once was enough. Thanks.

You know, I tried to overcome and be nice in my last post to you, but it just seems that's it's impossible, so you join the ranks of Nerone, no reason to respond, as of this post I can't see you anymore, begone.

Ok, no problem. You and McKinley are in the same boat as far as I'm concerned, still like to know where that antique truck is.
