yeah i saw that on speed earlier today. the crash didnt look too terrible, he just went into a wall backwards and that caused a fuel spill and the fuel ignited. he was only sitting in the flames for a couple seconds. definitely not something i would want to go through.

Didn't his dad drive that car too? If I remember correctly, they even won a 24 hour race or something like that.

Lol yeah. Everyone like to bag on the nascar guys but truth is, they still drive any of us under the table. Hell, I'd like to try oval racing but you pretty much have to build a car to do it and I don't want to do it that bad.

I talked to a local dirt track owner about a 4 banger series (think gutted s13 on dirt) and he acted like it was the dumbest thing he'd ever heard. *shrug* I would think there would be a lot of support for it considering how popular compact imports are.

A lot of local oval tracks have 4cyl classes, but the rules in them in many places are still set up to keep imports out.

Still, I've seen old Integras and S12s built into oval track cars.

Exactly. There's another track near by with a "pony" class or something like that and as you say, it's pretty much a mustang/pinto class. It isn't that popular but you don't really have to wonder why. Nobody actually likes 4cyl domestics. Even the domestic guys.
I dunno, I'm just sayin', if I could go out on saturday night and watch some 240s, celicas, 510s etc hanging it out on dirt, I'd probably go. I might even be willing to build a car to do it.

I can tell he's following in his fathers footsteps. At least he didnt die from this pussy crash like his dad did.

kcolyer27: that is THE most retarded statement I've seen all day. don't be ignorant and judgmental just because you might not like the sport. NASCAR isn't my favorite driving sport by far (drifting, rally, F1, ALMS, etc are all way ahead), but I can still watch a race and appreciate it. Losing Dale Earnhart was a tragedy to ALL motorsports. He was a truly GREAT driver. If Keiichi Tsuchiya were to get killed while drifting (or in JGTC or whatever), would you trivialize it? If Michael Schumacher died while racing, would that be fun to mock? If Lance Armstrong were to get run over just before completing the Tour de France, would that be the joke of the day?
Your attempt at humor is an immature and worthless stab at a tragic event. Grow up a little and open your mind. Your lack of compassion and understanding shows your ignorance, and that ignorance is just the same, if not worse, than the ignorance shown by V8/domestic/Nascar people (generally - hate to make a generalization here because there are MANY open-minded people in those categories).
