Can anyone on this forum beat Michael Schumacher or Jeff Gordon? Qualifying for the Indy 500 with a 227.004 is quite impressive...

I am new hear, but that kind of talk makes me laugh. If you are better than her, you should be out there on the track now making the big money. Why aren't you? I am not trying to be a dick at all, but it does take a tremendous amount of skill to drive Indy, and I am not even a fan. AJ Foyt, probably the greatest Indy driver ever, was sick of people saying he couldn't drive, or compete in other races because Indy racing wasn't hard. So what did he do, entered the 24hr of LeMans, one time, won it, said it was way to easy, then got back to Indy racing. I think its unfair to dismiss her so easily. She has qualified, you have not. Until you do, at Indy, Kart, or some other major organizition, my money is she could outdrive you. And yes, she is a decent POA.

FTR, I've driven teh "ring" at Hockenheim. Me'n my Calibra. Street car, totally stock, street tires, street suspension, street gas... Lap times good enough to qual for the old DTM championship (albeit dead last in the field) they used to hold there. So, yeah, I think I could take her on a regular road, with traffic and schitt.

I ain't racin cause, back when I tried to get into it "y'all" din't cotton to my kind. Bein from onna them thar big 'ol northern cities, and bein colored and all. That was a very long time ago. All of my championships have come in other venues. When you gets a l'il more hair on your chest mebbee I'll share some stories witcha. I'll try not to scare you too much... Why do they call ya thunder light, anyway? You know you gotsta bring a$$ to get a$$.

Course, you mooks wudn't pay to see me on the cova of no magazine.

ok..i figured out how she soud win...at the start..she starts stripping..and then theres a HUGE pile up..and shes the only onle left wiht a car...and she wins by default..

I'm not here to throw insults around and get into a pissing contest, I was just pointing out a few facts, and opinions. As far as my name, its just my gaming name. As for chest hair, my wife thinks there is plenty of that and my son loves to pull it to torture me. If you are wanting to know about any more of my bodily features, well quite frankly thats none of your damn business. So because you are black you gave up? Good thing guys like Jackie Robinson, Bill Russell Grant Fuhr and others of African decent didn't do the same. I am also from a very northern big city so cut that crap out.

I took my talents elsewhere. I have a distinguished Military career behind me. Three beautiful grown children. 1 failed marriage. I speak three languages. I'm a published poet. I've lived in, or visited something like 17 different countries on 3 different continents. I can pat my head and rub my belly AT THE SAME TIME!!! And, not only do I have a sucessful IT career ahead of me, I've the world on my shoulder. And, FWIW, I'll go with whatever crap I want. It's MY crap, goshdarnit!

Danica's facts are in the public domain. Mine aren't, so you can only offer conjecture about me. All of it unsubstantiated. Different opinions... Different ways of expressing them...

wow..go AWD!

and you have to remember that every different kind of racing is just that, different. Im sure that i could tree danika on the drag strip, because im sure that i have ALOT more experience than she does. on the other hand, ive never been in an indy car, so yes she woudl out do me at that....making "it big" in racing is 1 part skill, and 9 parts money.

Well, not quite sure what I said to set you off AWD, and why and admin feels to say GO AWD, so its pretty clear to me that this board isn't for me, so I guess I will go to another forum, sorry if I insulted anyone...

damn...let it all out AWD...you;ve got a sweet life..andddd an Audi to top it all off! Patrick..i agree about the diff. types.

Hey, nuthin personal Thunder. Never was. believe me when I say you din't set me off. My vitriol is much more caustic than that.

You're as welcome here as anybody else. We're all grown (well, a few teenagers, but they seem qewl, so...) and try to mind our manners. I was simply defending my position. No matter the insults. They were slight. No cuts too deep. We bandy them about, on occassion. Take it all with a grain of salt, my friend.

Patrick's knows me (thru the forum), but probably din't know much "about" me, is all. FWIW, I only touched the surface. Hadda leave sunthin for teh next encounter.

I hope you stick around, Thunder. I'd feel bad if you left because of my acerbic wit.
