Why does he call him Conweasel?
Because he's PT!!Quote:

Any underlying reason though? I don't remember Conway doing anything to PT, but maybe I missed it.Quote:

Interesting blog. Kind of makes PT sound like an egotistical cock to be honest, but the flipside is he certainly added some excitement and had a damn good drive going. I'd rather he was in the series than not, if only so I have a pantomime villain I can love to hate :)
Egotistical Cock? PT? Naaaaah ;)Quote:

The only other clip I saw of PT was when he smoked his tires to get around Conway:

No, they were busy showing Power drive through the runoff and Briscoe limp around to the pits unfortunately.Quote:

Why were her hands even on the wheel? She was going right into the wall. You're right she's lucky she didn't break her wrists. Also OT but someone in the NASCAR forum said she was at Stewart Haas recently signing autographs. I really think this is the last season she'll be fulltime in IndyCar.
....will DaniFan go with her?
DF - I think I might look over at the NASCAR board next year and watch you post the same nonsense here that Danica is going to win every week in NASCAR. I wouldn't be surprised if they "burned you at the stake".
Well I'd guess she would, although if single seater drivers of the calibre of Franchitti and Villeneuve can't hack it over there, and Allmendinger and Hornish aren't exactly making headlines either, I doubt Danica would last long anyway, since I don't watch NASCAR that would be a shame :(Quote:

Anyway back on topic, I actually liked this blog, big headed people who even occasionally refer to themselves in the third person are a pet hate of mine but he has a certain style that seems to carry it off. He also scored bonus points for his tongue-in-cheek dig against another pet hate of mine:

It took a long time for the tires to come in on the – sorry for sounding like a NASCAR driver here – Ontario Honda Dealers WoundedWarriors.ca No.15 KV Racing Technologies car. (Yeah, the tires took even longer than it takes me to write my car’s name.)
Yes, they do.Quote:

Ya, I watched it too, but came to an entirely different conclusion.Quote:

She's really a lot better than many give her credit for.
You really can't protect your wrists in an accident like that. Thumbs, yes....wrists no. The wheel gets ripped right out of your hands and your wrists are toast.Quote:
