Tirades, Candid Opinions, and Maniacal Rants
Every once in a while, I get ticked off at NASCAR and need to blow off some steam. That's what this page is for. I probably won't update this every week...but then again, I just might.
What are you lookin at, meathead?!
Daytona-- That was probably the worst Daytona 500 I've ever seen. What a yawner. I kept thinking to myself "is this Daytona or Michigan?". NASCAR needs to make some rule changes because like Earnhardt said, they killed the racing at Daytona. I think they should throw the restrictor plates out the window and set the cars up to run like the truck series race. (Except for Goofrey Bodine nearly getting killed, that was a good race). It wouldn't take much to bring more competition back to WC races at plate tracks. Lose the plates, give them more spoiler, and make some aero changes to the front end to get a lot more front downforce. They could also make the windshields steeper and widen the fenders. They need to do something, because it's boring the way it is now.
A typical end result of NASCAR's incompetent boobery concerning the constant rule changes at restrictor plate tracks.
Las Vegas-- Hoo boy, was I mad on about this one. I was already mad at Jeff Burton for snatching away a win in the Busch race. Then he goes and pulls his magic rain out trick. For the third time in less than a year, he's won a race just because he was leading when it started pouring. Burton must have a horseshoe and a couple rabbit's feet up his...tailpipe. What really got me was that they [Burton and crew chief Frank Stoddard] acted like they did it on purpose. When your engine blew up last week at Rockingham, did you do that on purpose too? Lousy jerks...
Good News! After taking one of each type of car to the windtunnel, NASCAR has changed the rule and will allow Chevy teams to add two inches to the front air dam. Earnhardt Jr. ran testing at Darlington and said that the car now has much more front downforce. (3-7-00)
...and some bad news. If you haven't seen it, this is the car Dale Earnhardt will be driving in this year's Winston race at Charlotte. Sorry Dale, but this is the wussiest, fruitiest, touchy-queery girliest car I've ever seen. Dale still gets teased because the first race car he ever drove was pink. Get ready Dale, because you've gone from "Intimidator" to "Easter Bunny".
