I like NASCAR too, obviously. But, I mean, come on. Formula 1 >>>>>>>>>> NASCAR.

I’ve seen rain racing. I’ve seen F1. I’ve seen F1 rain racing. Whatever. I like auto racing.

Ok, that’s cool. I don’t understand what you mean by differentiating F1 racing with ‘auto racing’, but whatever. Just glad to have someone on the team.

I watch NASCAR b/c when my dad retired early, he spent a couple of years traveling with one of the teams and I got to know some folks.

Plus, imagine 50 foot tall rooster tails being kicked up on a soaking wet track by those wet weather tires by all 24 cars! It’s a breathtaking spectacle. You’ll wonder how the drivers can even see. And the answer is: They can’t. They’re just really, really good.

Well, just think of all the tire strategy choices. How wet is it? Should we go with full wet tires? Should we be the first to try intermediates? Should we chance it with going with slicks? Wet races are so much more interesting.

They have raced in the rain, on a road track in Japan. Different tires. Wipers are not standard equipment. Watching football in the rain isn’t fun – watching racing wouldn’t be either.

Wow. Formula 1 races in the rain are WAY more exciting than dry races. And that track in Japan was either Motegi or Suzuka. And it was Busch Series.

Wet. Weather. Tires. Jesus Christ, NASCAR. You can’t drive when it rains? Really? Are the drivers that retarded? No. They can adapt. Give them a chance.

This race is taking too long – shudda gone to the liquor store … I’m now digging into the cooking bourbon.

This race does suck. Little to no passing. I’m sure it will get crazy with about 20 to go but they have to do something with the aero on these cars. The only chance a car on the top of the track has a chance to move up is if he is being pushed by another car. It reminds me of the 2000 Daytona.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwh2ADVDecc

I guess it could end right now if they determine that the track is screwed up. That would suck

Catching up…women drivers, less survivors. I’d only do her body because her personality is shitty/bitchy/catty..take your pick. This race is doomed.

Last radio transmission from Juan Pablo before the crash:

“Mira esto.”
