    Schumacher has to work 300 times harder than Woods. Any justice there? Poor Tiger.....He has to go to work between tourney's and hit 3000 golf balls over two days, blow off 800 people that want his autograph and drive a piece of crap Buick!

    NASCAR is way too commercial but i do see it's appeal. The racing is very close and there is always a driver to indentify with. The only thing i'd like to see is more road races in NASCAR as they are always very interesting. I'm waiting for the day they have to run a road course in the wet, lol. should be interesting. You'll fall in love with it, once you drive a stockcar. Maybe you won't watch it any more than you do now but you'll appreciate what it takes to drive one of those beasts on the edge.

    I think that's bound to happen.

    Apart from that I like the whole history thing with the early Daytona beach races, then the oval Daytona track, the connection to the P3/4 winning the 1-2-3 and the spoil over to name the Ferrari Daytona. I like strange connections like this.

    Send me a PM please about that Rally school. Sounds VERY interesting. I love to try out different race cars. In my endless travel file I have a note about a place in Australia where one can race a sand dune style rally car.

    Up until my friend bought the NASCAR racer, I was targeting a Petty school, but now I'll have my own experience.
