That is all.

Really? You only watch racing for the wrecks?

I don't watch races for wrecks, but I was really interested into how a car would skip over a 4ft. armco guardrail.

by gone-sovereign Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:57 pm

That car didn't even touch the guardrail when Buster Graham went over it. It almost reminds me of when Cale Yarbrough went over the guardrail at Darlington in 1965. When he went over, he didn't touch the guardrail either.

Racecars have been known to get airbourne when they've dug well into the grass, and hit asphalt. We saw Josh Wise do that at Las Vegas, we saw Paul Menard do that qualifying there, and we saw Landon Cassill and Carl Edwards both do that at Charlotte this year (I want to say that Vitaly Petrov did that as well, but really he did the exact opposite). Imagine how much air Buster Graham would have gotten if that guardrail and embankment wasn't there.

It reminded me of Davey Allisons crash there in 1992, except Graham didn't flip.

It wasn't digging into the grass, it was a design flaw in the access road.

Graham's car dug into the dirt, he hit the pavement, and he got airborne. At least that's what I saw happen.

I know this might be a bit too big of a topic to post here so quickly,but have you considered that,now we are in a new forum,RJ and other people who were banned might be coming back?

Oh crap,I mentioned RJ.

i'm sure some will try but they will eventually reveal themselves.

honestly, I doubt it, beacause anybody with at least half a brain cell can figure out that if we didn't want them at the old EFR, they won't be welcomed here, unless if they prove that they have changed, but knowing most banned people, they will come back on and beg to be given a second chance, which they will blow away instantly.

by gone-sovereign Mon Aug 08, 2011 10:13 pm

Who is Baynefan21? He never introduced himself as a new guy or someone from the old forum, and after having read what CJay said in this guy's "2012 Schedule Suggestions" thread, I can see some striking resemblances between him and a certain somebody else. Hey, the post made by CJay there should say enough.

by Chives2112 Mon Aug 08, 2011 10:45 pm

If he is a brand new guy, cut him some slack, but if it's another known member, then they should know better.

This was a telebrands production, excessive exposer to the posting potion can cause, fatigue, hyperactivity, naseua, Loss of Fingers, admins annoyence, and the possibility of death. Telebrands is not responseble.

There's not a whole lot to do in Utah, but like skiing in the winter.

Despite Vancouver being a big city with things to do, it's boring as ****. Only good things to do are stay home and go to the arcade. That's bout it. Nothing else.

Try living in the Canadian equivalent to Lancaster County, PA just not as commercialised. I think I have all of you beat. Elmira is so boring.

dont you just hate the homework that schools pile on? i guarantee that about half the people that get crappy grades would be higher if there was no such thing as homework. mainly its because they dock you for not having the time and/or not giving a bleep.

Yeah, i hate the homework that school piles on quite a bit. I'd probably be at a B if i didn't have to worry so damn much about homework.
