The only thing Chris is growing won't attach to his head very well.  I think a topic should be started for what title to attach to Chris's name is in order.  (or his avatar)

You guys crack me up. Driving W2W in Nascar is alot more challenging than you think. Chris, I hope this is just one of your paper filling rants. It's hard enough to circle a track on a rolling start 3 wide at 120mph let alone 185 on a banked oval in a car that wants to turn, not go straight. Ask Larry, he had his hands full at Daytona just holding a line around the oval at 150.

Bob, you have got to lay off the Budweiser! You have apparently gone off the edge this time. For your pennance, I am going to recommend your watching only PBS for the next month. And if that doesn't work, I am going to quiz you weekly on the topics covered on NPR!

We have a 1987 Cup car in the livery, it was Niel Bonnet's last car before he crashed and died. #55 Woods Brothers Ford T-Bird road course car. I drove it at Summit and Pocono 6 years ago and I must say I would compair it to driving Barry's car hauler. Just like driving a big bus. It really is not that hard to drive. Huge steering wheel small tires and power steering now sit back and relax and enjoy the ride. Almost too easy to drive. It is now parked in my friends garage/museum with the other toys. He won't drive it because it is too easy to drive and not alot of fun.

That isn't the car that was parked in that Garage just outside Pheonixville(on rt 23), is it?  I remember driving by one day, and then stopping in to get more info about the car/garage club they were forming.  And then the owner took me in the back garage to show me what I think is the same car to which you are referring.  I think the driver was Neil Bonnet.  Well, he fired it off, and I think I still may feel the effects on my hearing ten years later.  It sounded really cool.

Again, small world.
