Humpy's full of ideas or errr something ;-)
In 2032 I'll be 87 years old and probably won't give a hoot. :D
He is one something all right.
I'll be 79, by that time my teeth will be in a glass on the bed table; my wig will be on the bedpost, and a hot water bottle to warm the sheets...I couldn't look that far ahead if I tried. I think Humpy has been reading to many nursery rhymes and "had a great fall!" Oh pardon me that's "Humpty Dumpty...oh well I was close.
Reading that, I used 3 different phrases.
"I wish"
"You wish"
"NASCAR would never do that. It's too lazy."
And at one point I believe I said "When did Asphalt stop being 'all weather?'"
I have a pamphlet from 7 years ago that describes the "future" of NASCAR. Some of it seemed crazy at the time, but a lot of it has come to fruition.
Sci-Fi meant much more when NBC had rights because it could be discussed on NBC's Sci-Fi Channel.
It's fun for Humpy to go science fiction in his press conference. It's discussion fodder and something else to see the future of the sport.
Humpy has some FAR out stuff going on there. Someone ought to be checking that they are not slipping him something in his coffee......
Mind you, he probably has something RIGHT In there that probably we are not seeing. That said, what he described isn't motor racing, and it isn't NASCAR....
Humpys on crack :eek:
When I started this thread I was thinking of adding the old Jackie Gleason line "Find out what he's been drinking, and order me a case!" ;-)
Considering where research is now on memory metals, by 2032 they just might have it so when torn up cars come into the pits, they can plug in a power line and the fenders & bumpers reshape themselves while they change the tires. ;-)
