    Have you watched at all this season? 7 races, 7 winners, lots of drama. Nothing like that, but that's a rare occurrence.

    Also, I think you have literally broken the "rolleyes" icon from using it so much.

    First it's pretty tires. Next it's pretty guns. Then the next thing you know, you're shaving your beard and wearing capri pants.

    That's some pretty heady stuff considering the (lack of) tyre and chassis technology of the day. Just a handfull of horsepower.

    That is some amazing driving skill. Think about it - those guys have gone 1/2 mile in the time it takes us to move from the accelerator to the brake (well, maybe a little less but not much). Driving at those speeds and so close - it looked at one point they were side-by-side separated by less than an arm's length - and entirely trusting the car and tires to just be there. Their cars are an extension of their being. Trust the Force

    No I haven't been watching this year, sounds like I should have been. Been trained by years of single team domination.

    I will lay off the rolleyes and find a new one to abuse.

    Also, the fact that a Turbo six and a flat 12 N/A are duking it out is a cool departure of what is often nothing more than spec car competition in modern racing. whoops, I meant..

    You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
