if she was a fat girl, no one woudl care about her...the only reason ANYONE cares, is because shes a POA.

 

Troo, but, if she WERE a "weight-challenged" American she wudn't fit in a ChampCar cockpit (<heh, heh-heh> I said cockpit), so it'd be a kinda moot point. And, really, I think the only reason we (here, at AF) care is because she's a POA that poses half-nude!

Fellas?

 

hey give her some credit, she cold outdrive anyone on this forum. and shes hotter than anyone on this forum.

 

Equal cars, on public roads, I'd clean her clock and mail the leftover pieces back to her. But, given that my avitar is a self-portrait, she's a little bit hotter than I am...

 

Thats funny cause when i met her we said it like 5 years would would race sometime on the track. I'm sure it will never happen but i can hope; can't i?

 

Very good points.

 

Look at Janet Guthrie...(well, don't look too long)...she recieved allot of press, when she was the first women at indy...she was not a POA....not even close. Any women that can qualify 4th at indy would be getting press. The fact that she is a little POA and has a personality just makes everything move even faster...A media/public relations wet dream. The girl has talent and looks (although she is not that hot...but hot enough).

Anyway, indy has a way of being cruel to the in-experienced. But in a couple of years I think she will have a very good chance.

 

hmm..it would be interesting to see her do well...

however, we are onyl assumign that she could outdrive anyone here...in a open wheel car, yes...probably...but who knows, we could have some amazing drivers here who just havent met the right people yet.

 

I think it is pretty safe to assume she could easily outdrive anyone here. She paid her dues in carts, then went to england and raced for 3-4 years then back to the states in formula atlantic. No one is making it to that level unless they have lots of skill or BIG CASH.

I am sure there are some good drivers here with skills, but I would be very surprised if they were close the that level.

 

I've got close to 20 years of high-speed (150mph and up) experience on the autobahns/stradas/routes of Europe. And, NO PIT CREW to fix **** that breaks.

You ain't LIVED until you've had a truck (doin, mebbee 50mph) pull out on you (doin, mebbee 170mph) with not enough shoulder on one side and a tree-line on the other... Do YOU know how to threshold brake? ABS takes all the terror out of it, nowadays. I did that more times than I care to remember, back when only Merc's and Saabs had ABS. Cudn't afford one, cudn't stand teh other.

Me and 4 Porsches (2 Carreras, a 928, and a 944 turbo) in the 150-180mph range, traffic-riddled 3-lane highway (an hour North of Frankfurt, on the A5). Hills... Uneven pavement... Less than a car length between each of us... I was rollin in my Opel Calibra (yes, it was teh Turbo model, thanks for asking)...

170mph on A67... Slicing and dicing with a kitted SL500, just for gits and shiggles... Me'n my Calibra held our own, and them some...

Heppenheim to Stuttgart, or vice-versa, 2-mebbee 3 times a week. Doit in unnder an hour (I ALWAYS did, well, except when they had construction on teh tunnel). You've even got a choice of two routes, but, timewise, they're about even.

On a racetrack everybody is going about the same speed and has roughly the same level of committment and concentration going on. As I said. Equal cars; public roads; normal traffic; I smoke her like the cheap cigar she is... 9 times outta 10!
