Yeah, but at least he'll be starting in the Trucks, not jumping full hog into Sprint Cup. At least he knows it'll be a HUGE learning curve. | ||

Definitely. He's no natural talent like Montoya. I'm positive that Juan Pablo can drive anything with wheels on it and be successful. | ||

I'm still waiting for him to get another win. Sonoma '07 was far too long ago. =[ | ||

Nascar is increasing HP and changing the bump draft rule. Maybe he can be more aggressive this time around. | ||

Same. I miss JPM in F1 quite a bit. It's just too bad he (and Kimi for that matter) couldn't get a consistent car from McLaren. | ||

Hell, even Lewis really couldn't last year until the mid season upgrade. That car was a dog. | ||

First post is all that matters. We could talk about our favorite cheeses for the rest of the thread and it wont change anything. I'll update the first post occasionally though as I think about more helpful tips. BTW, my favorite cheese is pepper jack. | ||

JPM is my favorite driver, he'd have won the Brickyard this year for sure if he wasn't "speeding in the pits." I was there, I saw it. He's so aggressive it's a wonder anybody ever gets in front of him. Also, Feta ftw. | ||

IDW Banned Member Group: Banned Posts: 4,319 Member No.: 1,944 Joined: Jun 1st 2004 Location: Update Profile | Just finished my first Auto-X of the season. Ran with a new NASA chapter so they put me in "novice" class for some odd reason. I won the class today, awaiting updated results to verify. Class consisted of a Z06, Evo 8, S4, TT, STI, 2 RX8's and a FC with some other low end cars in the mix. This post has been edited by flohtingPoint on Jan 24 2010, 06:55 PM |

Second one's a little more excusable, but if you don't know who Senna is...for shame. BTW, anyone gonna be going to any Grand Am Rolex events this year? This post has been edited by Thir13Teen on Jan 26 2010, 01:36 PM | ||

One of these days I need to get myself on that track. Lime Rock is one of my favorites in iRacing. Too bad it's so far from DC. | ||

The iRacing one is pre-reconfiguration/repaving. It's such a great track though, I'm only 45min from it. I'll also be at the NASCAR Camping World/Whelen Modified event up there a week before the ALMS races. | ||

Anywhere you want. Did you grab the stage-1 kit that came with the air flowers, Silvia badge, GT wing and vinyl graphics? | ||

! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,871 Member No.: 24,344 Joined: May 8th 2007 Location: Pallet Town | Nope. I just bought the flowers cuz they're have bargain prices. I'm don't know much bout how it affect car performance either. |

You couldn't even see cones the angle was so narrow. |
