Sounds like trying to get tickets to see the HABS or the Leafs. The last game of the season between the Leafs and HABS tickets were going for 1000 bucks each for lower bowl and 4-500 for the upper bowl and it wasn't even a playoff game for crying out loud.

Hey,5 is #1,Nellie's spares put the hurt on our boys......

DSNY FN · 04-25-2007, 09:08 AM

I was watching a show called pit crews today they had Miguel Duhamels crew on it then they had some Nascar guys crew on it and people complain that F1 races are won and lost in the pits well this crew person basically said the same of Nascar only in Nascar they said they weren't above blocking while exiting thier pit stall to get ahead of the other guy. I really liked the Motorccle portion of this show it was great I have also seen one where theyhad Clint McBain's Suzuki Canada crew and Paul Traceys CART crew on it.

A fast pit is 14 sec. in NASCAR which equals 100 yards/sec. at 200mph. I'm telling you that between 5 lugs and pit road speed limits ( not to mention 43 cars pitting at one time) it is by far the most difficult adjustment for poor old JP Montoya to make.

Ya I just read on TSN that Montoya was put on probation for some gesture he made to somone LOL Ya Nascar stops are SSLLOOWW compared to a 6 second stop in F1. Even the stops at the Daytona 200 AMA races are quicker than the Nascar stops. F1 also has a 50KPH speed limit now.

Maybe he should switch to American Le Mans series driving full time and leave the HICK racing to the good ole boys.

They(Nascar ) only appear to try very hard to make it a level playing field... that all teams have the same chance to win... Then why is it almost every week only the teams with the biggest sponsers and the most money always seem to come out on top. When was the last time a non big sponser team won a race? I'm talking Kenny Schrader, Robbie Gordon Kenny Wallace Ward Burton ya know that bunch?

Those guys are soo slow. I bet at Dega, they qualify a whole 3/10 of a second behind the pole sitter.
Get real... Hendricks guys race for Rick because they are the best available. Same with the "Cat in the Hat", Childress, and Gibbs. Better teams attract anyone they want because they have more resources.
Robby is different, he is a great road man but a mediocre person (of course I ment oval racer).

Isn't it like that in every sport the winning teams always attract the most money and biggest sponsors. It is up to the losing teams to drag themselves up from the bottom and displace the dominant teams for a share of the money and etc.

Not in the NHL with the new salary cap and the playoffs when all players are thus playing for free. Paycheques in the NHL stop when the playoffs start.
