I came back from the kitchen from making myself iced coffee, and there's JPM and Ganassi talking to the press.
Holy cow. I remembered when Jacques couldn't find a ride and considered NASCAR. Just stunned me. |

QUOTE (Rob Hood @ Jul 9 2006, 02:07 PM)  I was quite surprised at the mention of the technology (in the link above) coming from F1 to NASCAR. It's still a pushrod V8, carburetor, and 4-speed transmission, among other antiquated items, being used on the race car. Perhaps its all the precision manufacturing that's going into the V8, carb, trans, et al. Me too. Wonder which specific technology made it to NASCAR; aero, brakes, manufacturing as mentioned... QUOTE I was quite surprised too. Maybe Jeff Gordon could go to F1? I remembered 3 years ago he said he'd love to do it, only if he were to do it right, meaning starting the F1 career like 10 years ago. And Sir Williams said at the time Gordon will be too expensive to retain. QUOTE That'd be cool but tough. Imagine the spray coming off 43 cars at seperated by inches....not quite sure racing in rain will ever happen on ovals. These guys crash when it's nice and bright out. Bring the factors of rain, the races will probably last half a day! |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/lmao.gif) true, but then again it all has to do with the tire design. I mean what are the causes or most wrecks? stupidity, and blown or cut tires. Stupidity and Cut tires due to contact or debris are not going to be eliminated but blown tires are a factor of the tire design. Goodyear design these tires to fall quickly after 30 or so laps, drivers themselves say that if nascar wanted a tire that would last 300 miles that Goodyear could probably do it, but then the whole idea of pit strategy would be less important and like it or not Fans like wrecks, they pay just to see them. So there little that will change in that respect. |
