<p>@ Dave, I guess that explains why it's looking more, & more like I'm wearing a sweater all the time....I keep it in the freezer, & drink straight too...not in shots either, lol</p>
<p>@ Tool, thats about the way the 1st half a lap went, only I was feeling the car, & was already beginning what he was telling me...bout the 3rd-4th turn, is when he told me do my thing....I think I made him a lil nervous at 1st. 1st thing I did aft buckling in, was turn off the traction/stability…</p>

<p>@Mike, it was always fun to have a student get into the car that had natural talent. I was "that " instructor, who after identifying a potential good driver would let them have fun within reason. If you ever heard this line, we might have crossed paths. My line to potentially good students would be, "ok Mike, it looks like you have some driving chops. If you want to go fast in my car you need to do exactly what I say when I say it, and dont second guess or say a word until the deal is up."…</p>

If you want to go fast in my car you need to do exactly what I say when I say it, and dont second guess or say a word until the deal is up." After saying that, I made them shake my hand, and after I would pull into the pits, and go over what I just said. So, what I would tell them go off every one of my cues. That meant when to turn in,apex,turn exit,when and how much throttle and brake. If they did all this well and trusted me, they would have some really fast times. But most importantly leave with a smile from ear to ear...Then I knew I did my job! On the flip side, I would get that student which not go over 50mph, and look over at me and say,"wow this car handles great!" And this is when we had to pull to the bottom of the track to let the other cars fly by at double the speeds. My best customer was the one who knew their abilitiesm and ran at their own pace, whatever that would be.Its those clowns we had to wrangle the steering wheel out of their hands and save the car from crashing...I have had some interesting moments to say the least.

No need to talk about it anymore anyway . Season is over and Robby has moved on . I just want to make it clear that I don't HATE NASCAR . Hell if you all remember I was at the All Star Race this yr . I just don't like the way it's being run . No Mike the business / politics isn't my only gripe about them but its at the root of all they do .

<p>I read about the dirt truck race in the paper this morning and figured I might check in on the Planet to see what was being said. Funny to see alot of RG fans like me have been staying away for the same reason, NASCAR bashing. Nice to see it might come to an end and I can read some civil RG info.<br/>It would be great to see Robby race a truck at Eldora, especially the first NASCAR race in the dirt. Next up, Daytona Beach sand oval?</p>

<p>I agree. We know MJ hates Nascar, etc. It's time to keep that hate off of here. I don't want to delete posts, but you made your point many moons ago.</p>
<p>Just bypass the nascar talk, MJ. :)</p>

And I'll add, it's not that we disagree with you on all points, MJ, it's just that it gets very tiring having to skip past every post where you start your rant again. We get it. So just stop. Please.

<p>Remember when RG took the SST to NYC? People were looking at it like it like it was a TV prop, or some kinda stunt. Hell, it was prolly the only non commercial p/u in the city that day, lol.

<p>Awesome Dave, I've often taken a ribbing from my stick & ball fan friends. My general response is something to the effect of "Ya, you ever get Urlacher to sign that jersey of yours? No, how many games you been to?" "Ya, cuz see not only have I stopped asking RG to sign things, but I've spent hours around the guy. He even made drinks for a bunch of us, & gave a friend of mine a signed 5th of Red Stag for his campsite hospitality, back in the Beam days...cuz we're fans." "Find me a…</p>

"Find me a stick n ball guy who'll do that, & I'll be a fan of theirs too." <br/> As for the politics of nascar, sure they cater to cash. Be it from fans, or sponsors. The biggest bitch I have about the deal is all the exclusivity clauses. For every "exclusive product of nascar", there's usually half a dozen direct competitors completely shut out of the sport. Use the wireless carrier thing for example. Sprint's contract is so dominating, RG couldn't have Motorola on the side of the car, because they supply other carriers, as well as Sprint. Hell, I 've had at least 2(maybe as many as 5) Sprint/Moto phones since then. Moonshiners? Great show, & if you're curious, look for Junior Johnson's Midnight Moon, at a Liquor store near you. It's frickin phenomonal with SPEED Ethanol...great with the others too.</p>
