In 1999 at the British GP, Michael Schumacher crashed heavily after a brake failure. Some say he broke his leg... He nearly died that day, Ferrari covered it up and spent millions rebuilding him, better, faster, stronger. They had the technology all they needed was an excuse to implement it. "Brake Failure..." sure.

Schumacher went on to Dominate F1 until his retirement.

Jump ahead 10 years. Felipe Massa crashes heavily and sustains terrible injuries not only from a hit to the head from a 'broken' suspension part, but also a malfunctioning HANS devices causes him to slam face first into his car's wheel... you figure out what happens next.

Felippe Massa will be the most successful F1 Driver ever following his return to F1.

it's illegal and a hefty ticket to swap plates onto a car that it doesn't belong to. Just sayin. I'd hate to take your money kepping points off the record. And don't think for 1 minute that the cops don't look on these forums for bragging of racing, photos of cars etc.. I have dealt with a few cases where they got busted posting a video of the race on You tube. Next a knock at the door and the kids were arrested. Wait what am I saying,....drive drive drive!!! The more tickets they write the quicker I make money Hell I may even put in a anonomous tip!!!

What happened to the other car.....oh wait, that's right, ran out of talent. I forgot.What's the projected life span of this one?


16G turbos are for little girlsReal men with SDS get the biggest turbo they can find

STu: Great pics!! And an intresting theory on King Michael and his sucessor. Man a little spring almost killed him. Fingers crossed for him in recovery. He has a new baby( first) coming with his new wife in August. He was so pissed off about bleeding when they got to him, that they sedated him to get him to shut-up!!! I find that hillarious!! Very Brazillian of him. All the Brazillians I knew in Az needed to be sedated to be tolerable Not a big fan of the brazillians am I. A phsyco girl did that for me.. Crazy Bitch!!

Well I towed the new 7 home!!!!! and the 85 is in the garage, I have to have a tag on whatever I have in the drive! If you must know. And back to my other 7 I have not lost talent, just putting a smaller turbo on it. The life of the new 7 is to be a good cruiser for the little women to drive. So she can come to meets with me. PS it has A/C so I know she will drive it LOL.

just let me know kemosloppy, ill go. Long its a great idea to put a smaller turbo on that car, it was a little on the laggy side. on a duller note, still hunting a tire for the camaro, i find that summit is the only one to carry a 295/50-15 this sucks. and i thought traction was a good thing, lol

Project "clean up that wiring" starts next weekend I hope Should be intresting when all is done. BTW: I can get a stock set of Supra twins for a good deal if you were intrested. It would be a waste of the mani you just made, but it would be a "hybrid" toyota engine set-up

So a few years ago while I was still living in the mountains, My big screen TV decided to blip out and never return. I had a "buddy" of mine, who is a TV repair man come by the house and check it out. He told me that the tube fried itself due to all the moisture in the house. ( Very old cabin with NO insulation etc, etc..) He said he would haul it away for me I said no I'll fix it someday. He said " not for how much that tube will cost!"....

So I decided to finally take it apart and see what went bad. I pulled the back off the TV and started looking around...............Any guesses as to what I found wrong?


Jepordy music....

A blown fugin fuse What a ******** "buddy" trying to get a free big screen. Needless to say races will be much more fun to watch now.

I hate dishonest people, which includes almost all humans!!

At 1 PM this afteernoon, please give a moment of silence for a fallen rotary enthusiast. One of my close friends was killed last week Weds. He had just dropped off a basket of supllies to a field crew in Pennsylvania. Shortly after that his hellicopter crashed and he was lost. I hadn't heard from him in about a week, so I contacted some mutual friends to learn of the tradgedy. I will miss him quite a bit.

Due to my late learning of this I cannot attend his services that are today in Las Vegas. So I am performing my own at 1PM. If you are the praying type, please say a prayer for Jon.

Ill miss you buddy!!
