OK we can tell its the off season for us. We have too much time on our hands to sit and think about things like this. We are all in on the same page as far as Danica goes. Yes she can drive a go-cart on steriods, but you all should know when she gets to Daytona or where ever she is going to run her first race she is going to have the best of equiptment and I am sure that Kelly is going to have her in a stock car at every race track that she can for practice, ( Now Kelly Earnhardt-theres a driver). Anyway Na$car would not be making such a big hipe over this if Danica was going to be set up to fail. No she has not paid her dues the way all of us other female drivers have, but that is just the way Na$car is now. I am just not going to waste my time and money watching to see if she is going to succed or fail, I have my own car to worry about and next season to focus on. That is where the racing is going to be. We need to be spredding the word about great drivers on the short tracks, whether they be man, woman or monkey.

Darn Jim: Why did you have to go and say that? I raced with Ralph at Metrolina, in the early 70's. and then again with Dale Sr.till he went into Cup series stuff.Man you sure know how to make me feel really really OLD !

Age is a relative thing for sure. I always feel old (51) when I talk to an adult race fan who never heard of Harry Gant, much less someone like Curtis Turner. At least I'm one to have read up on the history, so I can even bring the 20s into a conversation without actually living them. Shoot most of your Dale Jr fans today don't even know anything about Sr.
