USGP this weekend.

[Fax]

This should be good for some shits & giggles but is any of our North Amercian contingent heading to IMS this weekend for the demise of F1 in the US?  Little bro & I have a couple of freebies so we're going over Sunday (against my better judgement) ordinarily you couldn't drag me kicking and screaming to this, but since it's probably going to be the last USGP in my lifetime, and its not going to cost me a penny except for the beer & grub I bring with me (I refuse to give Tony the Dumbass one dime), what the hell!  Anyone want to hook up and spend a few minutes ridiculing Bernie and his dog & pony show?

I thought about it - apparently I could have bought the entire rights to Stand H for $15 but that was a little high.  I'm off boating/boozing instead.  Give "Fernando big jaw" a wave from me.

Hey Dave,
I'll slap a "I'd rather be boating" sticker on the back of the car for you, and I'll send your regards to the Unibrow

Fax, the dwarf shares you view!  Not sure if that is a back handed compliment to the US of A?

"Bernie Ecclestone has declared that the United States Grand Prix is not important to Formula 1, and that he will not go out of his way to secure the race's future.

"It does not matter to Formula 1 if there is no grand prix in the US," Ecclestone told The Times newspaper.

Hi FS,
I suppose he has plenty of third world nation's lined up to host races where the attendee's spend a year's salary for a ticket.  We've got a helluva lot better racing for a helluva lot less money.
Glad to hear your doing really well Peter, now get back in the water and get us some more cool ocean pics!

Fax, I've been waiting for this thread to appear all year. I'm praying for a failure on last year's proportions, just so I can read your caustic post-race summary.

And I can recall when there used to be two USGPs a year...

[Fax]

They (being F1) have no one to blame but themselves.  Bernie dropped the ball the first time when he decided to try and rape Chris Pook and the LBGP.  After bouncing around one money losing street circuit after another, they finally landed on a good thing at Indy and they manged to screw that up beyond imagination.  They pleaded and pleaded to get back into the US market, finally found a venue, came over the first year to a packed house, and acted like complete pompous asses.  No one within the F1 community would do any personal appearances to help promote the race, the media couldn't get any access to the F1 paddock and participants.  Even after that first year you could see the handwriting on the wall.  The attendance has declined dramatically over the six years, and as we've mentioned you can get tickets to this years race for a six pack of beer and a sack of White Castle cheesburgers.  Bernie says F1 doesn't need the US?  Well little dwaf, have a nice life and don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out!

Fax, I'm not one for sycophancy (you yanky racist redneck, - see, there you go...) but this post is a small jewel. It should be reprinted and posted on huge billboards outside of the Indy circuit. Marvellous!

Here here BigH.  Had the dubious pleasure of watching this shower at Spa last year (dragged there by a misguided mate who is into this stuff).  Love the circuit but was ripped off right left and centre.  Scarey ticket prices, overpriced merchandise, drivers who think that 90 minutes behind the wheel is such hard work they have to be protected from their audience by an army of minders.  Keep it up Fax.
All the best, Euro Candy-Ass

Fax, I have to admit that when you go off on one of your rants (and a lot of other times) I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, but I cant wait to meet you in the flesh to see if you actually talk like this in real life!

Hi TT,
I still apologize for the Euro Candy-Ass thing
Guess I should elaborate on where that came from.
That actually was first used by the late, great (and very redneck) Dale Earnhardt.  When he had heard about one the the foreign drivers saying they were uncomfortable racing on big US ovals he, less than eloquently replied, "Make sure he ties some kerosene soaked rags around his ankles so the ants don't climb up and eat that candy ass of his"
As soon as I typed that out and hit the Post button, I thought "Oh dear, this is going to go horribly wrong"
 
All the best, Redneck Fax

[termietermite]

No, no I just LOVE Euro candy-ass - was thinking of changing my name actually - was absolutely taken as it was meant, don't worry.  If you met me (which hopefully will be here at LM one day) you'd see it takes a GREAT deal more than that to offend me.

Hi Fran,
I'm actually pretty shy (until I get about ten beers in me) Fax is more or less my evil alter ego.  There's John and his Mr Hyde (Fax)
Cheers,
