  4. Sprint Cup Series race results and happenings

    in NASCAR

    Posted

    I never did get to see the Michigan race, but I managed to get highlights of the Bristol race. That sure is a short track - I almost got dizzy watching it. Up until the 1970s some of the European tracks were huge - the Nürburgring in Germany had a track about 14 miles long. Due to safety issues and TV coverage the current track is much shorter, but you can still go there and pay to drive the old circuit (many motor manufacturers test cars there).

    As an impartial viewer, I thought the Montoya/Johnson incident was 50/50. After seeing it from about 6 camera angles I'm not sure Montoya had much space to move. It was a shame because Johnson was in a good 3-way battle for the lead before that.

    Still too soon to pick a favorite driver, but I enjoyed seeing Reutimann racing a double zero car. This not only reminded me of the Mustang from Dukes, but also Dick Dastardly's car from Wacky Races :). In F1 the numbers change around from year to year with last year's champion being allocated #1. The only time #0 appears is when last year's champion retires. You'd find it hard to see the numbers though - teams argue that a big number cuts down the space for sponsors' logos. I know that in NASCAR the drivers are known by the car number they drive.

    I've got another couple of questions which I'll post later in the Q & A thread.

  14. Phineas and Ferb

    Not having the Disney channel, or any kids in the house, this series has passed me by. I've watched the episode on YouTube and I can see why people are finding it hard to identify the voices.

    What I did notice, when checking it on IMDb, was the number big names that have appeared in it. The Tom/John reunion isn't the only one the show boasts either. Ashley Tisdale was reunited with her 'Suite Life' co-star Brenda Song for one episode (I have seen Suite Life :)), and Barry Bostwick has been paired with Rocky Horror co-stars Richard O'Brien and Tim Curry in different episodes. Maybe they'll get one of Caroline Rhea's co-stars from Sabrina if there's another season.

    sorry that the pictures in the post are small. im not sure how to post them big

    They're fine when you click on them. Just be aware that they're only visble to people who've logged in. To post pictures directly rather than as attachments you'll need to sign up to something like PhotoBucket or Flikr (they're free). Upload your pictures there, then put the IMG code in the post. I try to limit my pictures to about 700 pixels wide so they fit the standard forum width, but larger images can be used.

  22. The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread

    Looks like no-one's gonna get this one - the answer is 'Tightrope'. Unlike BL, I am a Clint Eastwood fan, and I don't think I've seen this one. Here's the proof:

    Q. In 'The Ransom of Hazzard County' Clyde the impound guard was played by Ernie Lively. His real-life stepson Jason appeared in 2 earlier episodes, can you name either or both of them. Bonus points for the character names.
