[tribolik]

Really? We are resorting to puns now? *Jumps off highest rooftop in city*

Im sorry... I was just trying to be funny

But now more seriously. He takes the Motorsport OMG / WTF moments prize home with that one...

You weren't trying hard at all, then. Because you weren't.

No need to be a Mule just kidding

English is not my native language so I probably wasnt very funny... but most of those jokes came from the internet and American people. (a few I made up myself) in reponse to...

There's a bunch of jet dryer/ juan pablo jokes now, can anyone find them? I'm on my ipod now

So I was just trying to be nice unlike some people here

 

[Prince.M5]

The grass wouldn't of caught fire because it was all wet and middy from Sunday and early Monday.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Still, I'm very surprised it didn't get any worse...

Now just because of that, Juan is a laughing joke?

 

[Patrick]

It would probably be worse if Danica crashed into the jet dryer.

 

[Prince.M5]

It would probably be worse if Danica crashed into the jet dryer.

Well, if she did she was probably looking for a much more powerful hair dryer

 

[CodeRedR51]

Does anyone know how they will permanently fix the track? Will they just dig out that section and re-pave it?

My guess is they will cut out that section and repave it.

This may sound bad, but at least it was the former F1 driver and not a driver that has only done NASCAR. Could imagine how many people would use it as "proof" they can't drive.

Even if it was, you can CLEARLY see something went wrong with the car to make it loosen up.
Besides, F1 cars much less likely to slide like that.

 

[Furinkazen]

Suspension failure was to blame according to the #42 team.

 

[Roush_fan_99]

I meant motivational posters/ joke pics

But anyway, the juan incident has made more news online than Keneseth winning the Daytona 500

Yes... the suspension failed to correct the driver bad imputs...

 

[Tired Tyres]

There is a puff of smoke at the left rear corner, after which he lost the car to a sharp right turn. What part of that isn't a clear car failure to you?

I remember laughing quite a bit at this, some 20 years ago.

I remember feeling quite bad for him, as Guerrero was seemingly cursed by Indy from his late-1987 testing accident, and every race from then on. His career never really picked back up where he'd left off, although his recovery was one that would make Niki Lauda proud. But it was still one of those what the hell did you just do? moments, like when Kevin Cogan hit AJ Foyt just before the first lap in 1982:

The whole 1992 Indy 500 was a mess, actually. Very low temps meant the tires couldn't get warmed up well enough, there were a multitude of spins and crashes on restarts, I believe it was Jimmy Vasser who broke one of his legs after an incident. Looking back on those cars they weren't the safest things around.

Also, Jeff Andretti's legs and ankles in that race.

The part were he misses the jet dryer truck... oh wait...

There were a lot of drivers taken to the hospital that day, not just the mandatory infield care center; the cars barely did more than 10-15 laps at a time before another caution period came out, and in some cases, on the immediate green flag lap after an extended caution. Let's also not forget that during practice, poor Jovy Marcelo paid the ultimate price.

It was also the last race before the track apron between turns 1-2 and 3-4 was changed into a grassy median for safety reasons.

One of those races to forget, had it not been such a dramatic and close finish.

Yea, that's Montoya. A driver with too much cojones & too less brain.
And Schumachers best friend.

But at least he's entertaining. :tup:

You are obviously one of the most ignorant people on your high horse. Don't worry, you'll eventually fall off you're anti-NASCAR high horse and you'll be trampled.

 

[Furinkazen]

Except for the Donington flip of Kelvin Burt, biggest BTCC crash of all time surely?




Thanks god for the marshal, heroes.

Edit: Burt crashed at Oulton, and rolled at Thruxton in the Carrera Cup, not the BTCC.

 

[Furinkazen]

That's what I meant.

An interesting video regarding Mansell in 1993, with some footage of the ARE factory.

For the record Im not anti Nascar... though Im anti live threatning unresponsible driving. But as no one got hurt I was just joking about the situation, probably a bad joke Ill admit but no desrespect was intended and I didnt offend or called anyone names... if that makes me ignorant I wonder what does that make of someone who insults and disrespects others just for having a diferent opinion or making fun about a WTF situation.

This sounds amazing! I'm not sure if it belongs here, but the sound is just

That Britcar one with the marshalls is a little too distressing, verging on the distasteful.

Very lucky that he had a buddy on lookout for him, although he shouldn't have even been where he was, let alone on the 'live' side of the armco.

Most marshalls are guilty of not taking enough time to fully assess the situation now and then, just wanting to get the job done. Sometimes our loyal, long-serving marshalls get complacent, and younger marshalls think they're bulletproof.

Near-misses like this are shown at marshall training days all over the U.K before the new season starts as a reminder that sometimes you just need to wait for race control to call for yellow flags or get the safety car out before jumping the barriers.



Must. Be. Mad.
