Do you have this type of racing in the States ?

well we have the speed channel series (not sure about the name anymore) its pretty cool. they let alot of different cars in and keep them all even. makes for fun watching

 

[hondatuning95]

We have the SCCA which is probably just about the same thing

 

[Wessy]

This series is the BTCC British Touring Car Championship, it's close competion racing
unlike the Formula One racing ! Getting pretty boring is F1, need to even things out a
little. One team dominating again this season and it isn't Honda although our Jenson Button
is doing ok in the BAR Honda.

nascar = corndick car racing. i dont' watch it nor like it. it's only in my sig cuz that's the only decent indy pic i could find

 

[Wessy]

Yes sounds good, I'll take a look at that site later.
Have you any interest in old English cars ?
I have loads of pictures, maybe we could have a quiz ?
no prizes though !
I could post some pictures and you chaps could guess ?

Wessy

 

[steve98ex]

you could but i don't think many of us would be any good, you can post up pics of your car though

 

[anfrey]

do the quiz, it'll be fun. the object is not really to win, but to learn!! POST EM UP!!i'm very interested... my roommate and i are gonna play

 

[Wessy]

Ok

My car is just a standard 3 door hatchback so don't suppose you'll be very
interested in seeing a picture ? Ok on the English car quiz, we'll give it a go
just as soon as I've managed to reduce the size of the pictures so they'll
upload quickly.

Ok on the Jaguar E type and of course the Lotus Ford Cortina, the last car I posted
is indeed an Austin Healey BN2. Jaguar photo and Austin Healey photo taken at
Donnington Park Circuit last year, the Lotus Cortina photo taken at Oulton Park Circuit
also last year. You chaps have suprised me with your knowledge, I couldn't identify
many American cars !
I'll sort another couple out,
