Carol
As far as Don is concerned some people LOVE to knock you when you're down, there aren't a lot on here but the same 3-4 all the time. They can knock me all they want, I could care less. Carol, I hate to say it but I've never done anything great as far as racing goes. We all do make mistakes, mine was getting excited about it and trying to help people that I thought contributed to the sport, little did I know it would all come back and bite me later.

I think this is it?
Oh yeah I left off Auburndale as one of the places I raced (FASTRUCK,Stock Cars, Go Karts, and I even remember the bikes). Sorry also I left off the old Lakeland Road Course (SCCA, and drag raced). Yes, I copyed and paste. I let you know but I realy think thats all of them. The MIND is a terrible thing (memory that is).

Eh...NA$CAR on the road courses. Sometimes they're GREAT races...sometimes, they suck so bad. When Bruton took out the carousel and "reconfigured" Sonoma, they took out one of the best places to pass on that track. When Watkins Glen was reconfigured with the "inner loop", I understand that it was done for safety (190mph plus down the backstretch before the inner loop and into what was the old turn six, I believe - the "horseshoe"), there went another good passing zone.
Riverside was probably the best road course for stock cars. Plenty of passing zones *everywhere* there. The esses, turn six/seven/eight, the backstretch, turn nine...even the frontstretch and into turn one was a great passing place.

I also think that the Cup regulars have gotten better on the road courses over the last five to ten years. Used to be if you weren't a top team, you had a hired gun behind the wheel - Ron Fellows and Boris Said are two of the best road racers ever. Now, the Cup guys like Tony, Harvick, Juan Pablo, Newman, Gordon, Johnson, Kurt Busch...are all pretty decent. I still don't think that Kyle is all that great on the road courses, but he'll get there eventually. He's got plenty of years left in him.
