Best quote.

Robin Miller, 2 weeks ago on Wind Tunnel

Trucks (Nascar Craftman Cup) are for towing race cars (IRL).

If I ever drive a truck it will only be because I need something to tow MY racecar

Thx for turbo link Santi

League officials said they have the interest of two or three manufacturers aside from Honda, the current engine supplier, if turbos are implemented.
oh please oh please oh please

With Detroit coming up...

Keep on thinking why I loved CART and hate IRL.

IRL's cars look like shit and with their size i'd like to use them for a demolition derby. And the NA engines makes the cars as fast as a street car. Can't wait for the turbos, so the cars actually go and the drivers are actually challenged.

enjoy

when was the last time you saw driving like that?
reminds me of f1 before TC w/ the v10's....

Hey that's great! He was a decent driver in CART. Didn't he also do a stint in Nascar? Seems like I remember a race being on in a bar earlier this year and I saw his name among many other open wheel defectors

if Nelson Philippe wasn't in Europe running the Superleague Formula, i'm sure he'd be in the car instead of Tag.
