People give her such a bad name because of all the attention she gets with lackluster results. I think her issue in Indy is she was never at one of the powerhouse teams at the right time. I think if she drove a Ganassi or Penske car in the IRL she would have won races.

In NASCAR... It's going to take her a full season or more just to consistently run in the top 25. Transitioning to NASCAR is a pain as it is probably the most competitive pro series in the world. The learning curve is incredibly steep. Some of the best in the world have tried and failed miserably.

Danica is lucky though.. Unlike most rookie she has the luxury of time. Regardless of how poorly performs her value will still remain sky high. She'll never lose her ride for lack of sponsorship. Hopefully she makes the best of it because there are thousands of talented short track racers in the US that will never get the opportunity she has because they are not as marketable.

Implants aren't that expensive...

I don't need to watch that to hear in my head, "There's some lovely filth over here, Dennis!"

Or: I'm 37! I'm not old, I'm 37!

I took a tour of the twin towers maybe twelve years ago. My son and I spent two hours in the tower they had open (think it was the North but I can't really remember). I didn't have the guts to lean my head against the windows - it was sickening. And I am so grateful that I got the experience.

Not a fan. I'll support her more after she actually wins something. I gained respect for LeBron James when he finally won a title, because it was no longer just year after year of hype and talk.

When she wins a race, I'll be the first to eat crow. Until then, I'm not a fan.

um....

I watched the Baltimore GP from the World Trade Center.

Baltimore World Trade Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

:iagree:

There are many levels of teams, and sometimes the bottleneck is the driver, sometimes it's the car. Because Danica is the only widely known female NASCAR driver, she will continue to be a ratings and sales draw. As a woman, I look forward to the day that a woman driver is not a "woman driver," but is just a driver.

Bawmer, NY..same difference, right? :roflpuke2:

I had no idea.

I'm totally going to the GP this year, though.

I would be a fan of a successful female driver, but Danica's more of a marketing machine than a good driver, as far as I'm concerned. I feel similarly about Dale Jr. He's a bit overrated because of the bloodline.

It's "watery tart." Or "strange women in ponds." Or "moistened bint."

You're crazy.

I agree 100%. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for validation. But not holding my breath.

Shimmering, watery, moistened, pond, all mean the same thing when in relation to certain women. ;)

Really?

As a man, I can't wait until women drivers wear clear fire suits... :|

Because this means that one day a man will wear one?

You know, Danica and Ricky Stenhouse Jr are dating. I called it early last year. I knew they had a thing for each other. I love gossip and drama and racing. Especially when combined.

There hasn't been a relationship like that in NASCAR since Ricky Bobby kissed Jean Girard at Talladega!

:roflpuke2:

Not sure if this still relevant as I think it was a few pages back but two of my all time favorite movies are "harrison bergeron" and "lathe of heaven". I have them both as I believe they are not the easiest to find for rental. Can probably buy them though they are both really interesting and deep movies. I would recommend them but I have weird taste.

I didn't know that a film adaptation of Harrison Bergeron had been done. Love the Vonnegut short story, though.

Lathe of heaven

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lathe_of_Heaven

The first 15 might tempt you to turn it off but it is a fascinating movie.

I won't be at this weekends meet otherwise I would just copy it onto cd or flash drive. I have it in .avi format and watch it streamed through xbox with all vids housed on a windows home server WHS which is a great server for the home by the way if want more than a basic NAS.

If you have a google+account could just share the file to your google account and you could download it via gdrive and then watch. If your arent somewhat nerdy that prob doesnt make a ton of sense ;)

Does anybody have experience with garage line spacers? Are they any good? Are they worth buying?

Spacers from different brands are relatively all the same. They really break down into two types, Type I or the Extended lug with slip on spacer, and Type II that the spacer has lugs built into it and you bolt it on to the wheel hub, and bolt the wheel to the spacer.

There are supporters of both types, and naysayers against both types. I have used the H&R and Z1 Type II spacers and have had zero problems. If installed correctly, neither will you. It's just good to make sure to have them torqued correctly. :tup:

Thanks I'm gonna do some more research I normally don't run spacer but the gap is bugging me. Any suggestions on what size to run with the stock 2013 rays on eibach springs?

With Eibachs?? Hmm... I'm not sure on that one. When are you getting them installed?

When I had my stock wheels (not lowered) I went 20mm all around and it was nice.


I would recommend, (if you can wait till this lol) get your springs installed, then after a week so the springs can settle (unless you're buying them used), use a tape measure from the edge of the wheel out. And looking down over the fender take a note of how sunk in the wheels are. .5 inch, 1 inch, 1.5 inches etc. Then simply convert that to mm and get the closest __mm spacer you can.

Ill be installing the springs the day they arrive...lol.. I got a new floor jack n jack stand begging to be broken in.. Ill wait till after I put them on and see how it settles maybe I won't need to run them.

I will say though after installing them, it is highly recommended to get a set of rear camber arms and toe bolts so you can bring the alignment back into spec as the OEM arms don't have enough adjustability.

Werd
