I never miss a Superbowl, a friend hosts a big Superbowl party every
year, lots of people some of whom I see only that once a year, lots of
really GREAT food and a big screen TV so we don't miss any of the
commercials. Sometimes we watch the game, too...

I know where they hold the U. S. Grand Prix but that has nothing to do
with the subject, does it?

Indy has very poor drainage and if you'd watched the race you'd have
seen just how badly water puddles on the track, it's strictly a dry
weather track and, as Sunday showed, very slippery when wet.

That's pretty much my view of the Superbowl.

I don't pay much attention to the game, but some of the
commercial are great. The half-time shows are usually so bad
that they're somewhat amusing.

They should put the old Nurburgring back on the schedule. That would
be something.


NOW you're talking! THAT would get me watching!

Nah, I want to see street racing but instead of closing the streets,
do it at Sun City here. I can see the F1 cars mixing it up with the
old ladies in golf carts driving the wrong way, crossing the street
against the light, making U turns in the middle of an intersection....

Or move it to East Mesa with the snowbirds and their 45 foot
motorhomes..... watch some old person try to make a U turn with one of
those across the center divider, he blocked traffic in both directions
until they could get the motorhome dragged off the divider...

BTW, you know every such race would be won by an old Toyota with a
Domino's Pizza sign on the top, none of the F1 cars can match them for
speed or driving ability, on the track, on the road, on the sidewalk,
whatever it takes to not have to pay the $2 charge if the pizza isn't
there in 10 minutes!

I like EXCITING racing, like watching Phoenix traffic, not the slow,
boring, fatal accidents rarely happen racing such as NASCAR, Indy or
F1.

Then the obvious answer is Figure 8 F1. Or, better yet, Figure 8 Indy.

Or still better yet, Figure 8 NASCAR.

Now you have it Larry ! It is fun to watch and to drive, but I stopped
doing that before they started chaining 3 school buses together and
runing them.

Location, location, location !!!! :-)
