TV Shows I miss

General

Oh, the old tomato huh? I always loved Amos & Andy...I think that J. Calhoun Lightning would have been a great candidate for the drive for diversity program... Kingfish on top of the box calling the shots, now that would be way better movie fodder than the stuff of today.

Pete, you are right on withTNN'S great driver series...Terrific show it was.

Pee Dee region lost another of it's legends. Leaves a wonderful collection of racing memories for those that fortunate enough to witness his racing prowess with a wrench as well a wheel.

Prayers for the family and God speed Mr. Jr.

NASCAR's Rule Changed?

General

Yes they did use to require a valid driver license...The one question that I would really like to know the answer to is WHY they changed it... Was it to allow younger than driving age competitors to compete? Or was it to allow the older ones that had lost those priveledges the chance to ''work/ drive'' ?Perhaps it was the pressure of just changing with the times as seems so prevalent in society today.

I remember having to be 16 yrs. old just to get in thepits at some short tracks and NO WOMEN ALLOWED signs posted...Sometimes things change right before us and sometimes they change and we don't even realize they are not like they used to be until years later..Guess this is one of the latter.

You are ''persactly'' right there Dave..Although they all possessed the driving part, they were too ''rough around the edges, they actually called a spade a spade and then were willing to deal with the fallout if need be...That would be refreshing in today's world where very few are willing to take responsibility for anything while being PC.

If you are nice be nice, if you are mean be mean, just be who the heck you are is all I was saying and I don't care if you are married to the flagman.

I have seen PC drivers that also could not drive a nail, I would just as soon see a ''this is who I am driver'' with a black eye if it were well deserved.

I guess I like 'em rough. I know I like 'em straight forward and honest.

Will,

The reasons you have stated are the very reasons that not only do I not give personal opinions of drivers (or others), I do not form them either unless I have personal dealings (know) that individual.

My viewaboutthe drivers competitive nature are EXACTLY as you described...Give me one that will bring back nothing but the steering wheel if that is what it takes to get it done, no excuses, no apologies.

The statement of honesty being anyone's greatest attribute and that is exactly what you get from Kyle. NoP.C. or B.S.IS EXACTLY right. Let me add that I think that P.C. IS B.S.! Always was always will be in my book...Too many drivers (others) take that approach as a way out in uncomfortable situations. Kyle does not.

I do not really favor one over the other since I do not know any of those competing today on a personal level. I will say that if I were a owner and was lookin a driver it would not be Dale Jr. Jimmy j. or Jeffie Gordon...IT WOULD BE SHRUB! Not from a fan stand point but from a very astute business decision stand point...He proves it time and again...

Viewing this the entire content of this thread has left me with one thing to say,

Glad you are here and I do appreciate you going in depth in your replies.. A very valid viewpoints that I was beginning to think that only I had... Again, love the no P.C.or B.S. line in your Kyle description...We need WAY LESSP.C. my friend, you nailed it!

Not sure who ''coined'' the phrase but Charlie Sheen lives it.
