Thank's!

The scenerio about the injured football player sounds like the player's "Team" helping him off the field.
Now imagine both teams playing ( Owned by the same person ), and when a player is down ....the opposing team helping him off the field. Then that "Runningback" is replaced by the opposing teams "extra" runningback ( gotta change jersey's of course ).
It just isn't right.

Oh yes I miss the nascar of the 70's and early 80's . I guess I really don't have anything against "multi-car" owners , just draw a line....keep them seperated.

Remember way back when.......

When teams only were allowed so many sets of tires?
And when someone got knocked out "EVERYONE" tried to get to them first to try and "aquire" those extra set's of tires that they would no longer need? well..... deep down I really didn't care for that either.
The drivers knew how to "save" thier tires , brakes , fuel and so-on.
They came to the race that week-end with "ONE" car ........ and you best not mess it up !!!
Nowday's they don't have to save thier tires - there's plenty to buy at the track....... same for fuel. and Darn-it , you wrecked the car on practice ???? that's ok.....we'll just unload the "BACK-UP" car.

Oh to be a Multi-Billionaire and start a completely new race association.
try to return it to old racing ( fantasy thinking again )!!!
1st call ,
To Winston !! bring back the Winston Cup ! Lol

bring back the cars of yesterday , not the damn C.O.T. (car of TODAY )

I could fantisize about this for hours...but I gotta go.

thank's for chatting!

hows about putting the brickyard in the chase !! hehe
be nice to see two races a year here in indy ( besides the indy 500 )

Bye

Yeah, he is.. but also works for the same man, sharing the same goal, my crew first, my team mates second.. in football, does not a team mate from the same team block for you when you have the ball? Moreover, when that player is taken down and needs help off the field, will not a team mate help if he can?

Both of them were emphatic about one thing where Junior was concerned, he absolutely poo pooed the notion of team mates sharing information, and he abhorred the notion of them 'being friendly' on the track. However, he also threatened to fire Geoff Bodine one time for pushing Rusty Wallace to a win over Sterling Marlin. He did not allow the concept sharing to infuse his garages, simply because he believed that competition between his teams gave way to innovation and development. Sadly, Nascar has removed from the hands of the crew chiefs and owners this ability. Knauss is definitely the top in the sport when it comes to any innovation. They know something Brick, that if you look at it.. they ain't sharing with Jeff, Mark, or Junior. When one wrecks, and he's in line to win a championship, I'd drag Helton himself off his ass if I had to. I also believe whole heartedly that if Mark had

In this case, in principale, I also agree, however, I don't necessarily poo the idea of certain members of other 'team mates' crews coming to my team's aid when it's like this. Like it or not, Jimmie has the right to try and win his fourth in a row, something that I myself abhor, simply because enough is enough. However, I can't allow myself to get into one driver deserving more than another, and I am certainly not insinuating that you do.
