Default Poor Dave

I'm a Greg Anderson fan but I'm really starting to feel bad for Dave Connely. His -.002 light could have been .000 and he would still have lost to Greg by .05.

Grumpy said he's been getting bad numbers from his dyno. I think most of us could have told him he wasn't developing the power required to be competitive. If I were running the team Grumpy would have about one more week to correct the problem and then he'd be outta there if I didn't see a dramatic improvement.

This young man has awesome talent and should be able to compete with the best of them. The Professor averages around an .08 light on a good day and still wins. Can you imagine Dave with that kind of power?

Does anyone know what broke on Greg Andersons car?

I agree with you on DC...whatever the reason, his car is not competitive...sooner or later someone has to be called on the carpet...he's barely qualifying at this point...

It has been reported that Anderson had transmission failure...

Did she race in the Indy 500? BTW, I just listened to my commentary with the pro 8 videos. Pretty damn good for a beginner.

BTW. I liked your comments. Especially about me. Yes, I was fully staged and waiting for the Major to get out of the clouds. The reason - I couldn't see sh*t and thought he was right behind me. I wasn't going to pull back so I sat and waited, and waited, and waited...

That's funny. I didn't even realize that was you. I just remember you were fully staged and that really surprised me. Now we know why.

Patrick who? Duffy? Smith?

Yes, I know the difference. Patrick is the one that can't decide whether to wear clothes. She proclaims to be a driver and then keeps posing in the scanty clothes displaying her crotch for the camera guy.

Enders is the one trying to be a driver. I don't think they're going to let her. My Corvette has more power than the car they're giving her to drive.

She needs to make up her mind. Drive or pose. What the hell has sex got to do with racing? She also caused a pretty good pile up at Indy that was glossed over.

How is Erica supposed to qualify in a VW powered car? I'm not a fan but at least she's not running around in her underwear for all to see.
