elmariachi,

Good answer but don't you think the R would better fit Reporters as that is all they are now. Listen to an interview and all you hear is 5 minutes of thanking everyone that can remember and telling what a great race and car they had. Ant those are the ones that only finished 1 lap down.

Now this was when it was actually Stock Car Racing: !967 Plymouth.

Hopefully this link works.

For me this is something I will always remember. I thought for sure he was dead.


In regard to Petty Enterprises, I really believe they lost the drive to win with the passing of Adam. They never seemed to fully recover.

The link worked great. I watched that race and thought for sure he was going to be really badly hurt. They had an interview with him in the hopsital with his wife and she had wanted him to quit racing and he had promised her that when it wasn't fun he would. Right on TV she very sacarstically said, "Well are we still having fun?" I will put the video in this post for you.

On the All Cobra Talk Forum, pinned to the top is a lot of excellent examples of how to do pictures and add these videos that CW spent a lot of time laying out the steps for plus pictures to show what he was talking about. When I started on here I had trouble just posting let alone doing pictures and stuff. Jamo led me through the process of a lot of the picture stuff plus tags. With the new Software that Brent put in the last new servers everything is much easier than it used to be. So all the credit for anything that I try to help anyone with should go to CW and Jamo.

And NO this is not an attempt to suck up to the moderators. I just feel that the people who actually taught me should get credit, not me.

Default Nascar Racing

Just wanted to say i'm sorry you are loosing interest in Nascar racing,as that is what i've been doing for the past 30 odd years,10 with a powerhouse team.Please understand,Nascar runs the game,we just bring the people and the cars per their rules,please don't blame us,we're just working in a sport that we love trying to make a living just like you.There are rules and regulations everywhere we go in life,some we like some we don't.Nascar makes the rules we just try to play by them,yea we could just pack up our stuff and go home because we are not happy with the rules,but where would be then,even worse off,more guys out of work.We were very fortunate,we only lost 35 employees between 5 Cup,4 Nationwide,1 Truck and 3 satelite teams in our organization.If you are a true fan you'll stick it out.We've been thru tough times before and we came back.BTW, i do remember the good old days,the first race i worked was the '76 Daytona 500,i was with a nobody team but i'm sure everybody remembers the Petty-Pearson crash on the last lap.
