I know that, but what worried me was the fact that flames were floundering around inside the cockpit when it happened. Well I know his name is Brent Raymer, but really why saved him from getting burned was his fireproof suit.

There were two races in 2008 that I really enjoyed. The first was the Canadian Grand Prix. Kubica had deserved it for a while. And to come at Montreal where the year before he had that very violent crash was also really nice. The other was 2008 Italian Grand Prix, when Torro Rosso Team Sebastian actually got a win before the Red Bull factory team. Granted Vettel blew Bourdais out of the weeds all season, and scored decent points in a Torro Rosso. But no one expected that. 08 was a good year for F1, shame Kubica didn't get the chance Vettel did. Because, given the right equipment, coughFerraricough. He WOULD have beat Vettel this year.

He would've destroyed Vettel in 2010 had he a McLaren, Ferrari or Red Bull. What he did with that Renault is simply beyond words.

No problem with him loving America, I'd love to live there too, but I thought it was funny that he's doing donuts on horses now Razz

My only question is and sorry if it sounds dumb, but why did NASCAR reconfigure that track? Did it have something to do with it's safety?

I don't know why. I guess Bruton Smith wanted it to look like his other big tracks.

Also there was a very serious Speedcar accident at Sydney Speedway on NYD which happened right in front of me.

Californian Wingless Sprintcar driver Tyler Dolacki isn't taking well to both Australia and Wings. This is already the 3rd time this year he's catched on fire.

I don't know if it has to do with the Corvette DP growing on me or not but this is easily one of the better DP cars I've seen in quite some time.
