He's still racing you know, a works BMW driver in the World Touring Car Championship, he's not bad and can win a few races but I wouldnt call him a title contender. JJ, I've been hearing a lot about that Singapore race recently. Looks like there's a good chance it could be pulled off for 09, and possibly as a night race.

Cool, a Northeastener! I must admit I am not familiar with too many local tracks outside NJ. But that is cool to hear man.
Just for fun? Or are you hoping to be pro one day?
Edit: NIGHT race!? That WILL be interesting....

Most certainly the latter, once I hit 16 I'm moving up into an Allison Legacy, and most likely late modles from there and then see where everything goes. But I'm not saying I don't have fun as well, the combination of the sport and the people make it a hell of a good time.

That is cool. You better remember me, and these convos we had, when you are racing in Daytona.

I think he's even won an Italian championship, though considering the strength of most of Italys national championships thats not saying much, even for a guy with prosthetic legs.

Zanardi is one of those men i admire so much, i really was a fan of him in his Champ Car`s seasons, after that terrible incident i was schocked and actually stopped watching some races, i met him last year in Puebla`s circuit due to WTCC race, he is a very nice person and he has his "own house" within the track, curious.
Not a title contender as sleeper said , but he IS still an awesome driver anyway

Don't watch it, but I looked it up for you.
Says Bourdais started on pole and won the race. (All I know about CC is that guy is like MS right?)
Anyway, he led 58 of the 78 laps, and won the race of course.
Servia in 2nd
Power in 3rd
And Will Power...if that's not the most kick ass name, I don't know what is.

Ineresting....and There is that Sebastian Loeb in Rally, and Jimmie Johnson in NASCAR. All motorsports are being dominated!
And since I DO get SPEED at my dorm....maybe I'll try catching some CC races.

If anybody is dominating NASCAR right now then its Mark Martin. Hell, he only started 6 of 8 races this season and is still in the top 10 in points.
