1989 Daytona.....

Thanks fergy.......got it on now!! It's a restrictor plate race. Wonder when the "big one" will happen.
 
Ya'll are welcome. Looks like another good night on the boards....good discussions and no knock down drag outs...
 
Just had a thought about something, might be kind of morbid, but how many drivers are in that race are no longer with us?

Neil, Davey, Alan, Dale.....:(
 
Yeah, fergy.........that is something to think about.:(
 
Well, if you're gonna make snide comments...perhaps you should back them up. It sure sounded snide, that's why I asked you what it meant, in case it wasn't. I'm sure it wasn't. Right?

But you're right...you don't have to. :):):):):):):):):):)
 
Darn it!!! And I am at school!!! I want to see DW do the little dance!!! I am still trying to get my ebay thing workign so I can buy DW's winning car diecast.
 
I don't see any snide comment, just see that you are trying to bait DE thats all.:D :D :D
 
How about a little fire Scarecrow?:p This place is like a good Twilight Zone show sometimes CutiePie.:)
 
A good race........DW's first Daytona 500 win!! Thanks again fergy for the heads up.:D

I think it did. I thought it was wierd how the hood flew off so fast though.

yeah i know, but thay was running more "stock" of a car. and it was 13 years ago. look how mutch better the tech is now.
 
The technology to keep the windows in and the hood on are much better, but the technology to make a good race is much worse. Did you notice there was no big pack of cars? I think Schrader did better because the driver was a bigger factor than the equipment.

Back then (and I am only talking 13 yrs ago) it was probably more 60% driver 40% equipment where now it is more 60% equipment and 40% driver.
