It's okay. From now on I'm going to use "flame-retarded" to describe
second-rate troll-posts here.

Budweiser. Fans wouldnt hav it that wayun.

The LIVEDRUNK wikipeadia says that Budweiser is already so watery that
adding more water molecules to the mix might be dangerous for
non-alcohol based lifeforms.

Hey! That's the same AFP(?) image that was used in a Dutch newspaper
article about the California fires in October 07:

Judging by the colours, at least they didn't use my scan.

He's 55. It's more likely a pair of communist polyester pants he got in the
old days.

He must have been doing a Kunich-style 180-RPM cadence sprint. I guess we
have to call cadence a red-hot herring now.

But a real Nascar fan has drunk so much beer they may a alcohol based
lifeform.

sure ask Fred Rodriguez.
ask the chicane at Watkins Glen
ask Junior the Nazi Klansmen
ask Montoya can't get a draft
ask Junior's new team hiring the Klansman for protection from...
but frankly very few race in the rain at 170+ 3-4 no more...at any
given time more or less.
and not those guys. so why not stop?

falling at 170 and 35 is different, no?

driving alone, racing the road and driving continuously intraffic is
different.

then there's they never learned. Not like the Flying Finns or crazy
Englishmen where the road was slippery in their window of opportunity
learning time.

off course, ask why not learn on clay? Like Sheldon Kinser?

then there's group intelligence: see the Glen's chicane. The Glen had
a chicane BN but used only for old women and the ceritified insane. As
a group, NASCAR racers couldn't adjust to driving around a real corner
like the loop so they needed remedial help-the chicane.

Here, the remedial help is not racing. Odd, racers racing each other
continously can't as a group, learn to race the wet road.
