Who think Jimmie Johnson deserves the cup?
Question:the last few years he's be holding the lead, and end year just missed it
Answers:
He defintely deserves the cup this year. He's doing so great at every track and he is consistant!
Jimmie particularly deserves the cup. The past two years he's consistently stayed within the lead and afterwards just misses it right at the closing.
YES
for three years he has be sooooooooooooooooo close
GO 48!!!!!
FAN SINCE HE CAME TO NASCAR
(2002)
i think he does...
i dont kahne does
yes might deserve it BUT can he win it??
Well not a soul deserves the Cup it must be won.However it looks to me like Johnson may lately pull it stale this year.Let me get it out within the open that I'm not much of a Johnson admirer but hey different strokes for different folk's right? Now having said that I enjoy to give credit where on earth credit is due,Jimmie Johnson drove one heck of a good see today and to come back after a flat tire put him wager on to 38th was incredible,especially when you consider how strong some of the other guys be running,Burton,Edwards,Harvick to mention just a few.Jimmie so far is not showing any signs of a mid season slump which have cost him so dearly in chronological seasons.It does indeed look as if Johnson may finally be in position to claim the prize which has so narrowly elude him in days gone by.
I do. He must win the cup this year because he won the most races and have the most top 10's.
I do
Hell yeah!
GO JIMMIE JOHNSON!!
He is also now tied next to Kasey Kahne for the most races won this year! Hopefully he pulls it past its sell-by date this year on the cup! The guy kicks serious butt!
YES!
no.
F1 VS. NASCAr?
Question:My southern friends think nascar is superior to F1,what do you suppose?
Answers:
Sorry if it seems approaching an insult, but your friends don't make the smartest choice.
Being European it can be lucid why I like F1 more, but I don't see anything to be like on Nascar. Maybe the only entry that entertains empire are crashes, but F1 also has plenty.
And raining races... That's the material test for a driver's individuality. Hungary this year... They say that on that circuit it's impossible to overtake, but look what the rainfall caused: the two WDC contenders, penalised within qualifying, along beside the eventual winner, pushed from low down the pasture. Many drivers attempted daring moves on others. Crashes happen all over the place.
Plus I simply LOVE the technology involved. Although deeply of things that aid the driver on a normal motor are banned, resembling especially the ABS braking. (Braking is one of the biggest tests of skill for a F1 driver).
In F1, the brakes are made of carbon and ceramycs, operating at temperature of 8OO-1000 degrees Celsius. And they steam up to that from half that heat hundreds of times a race. In nascar they merely have to brake 10 times a see.
The engines are so advanced... Just think: a 2.4 liter engine generate around 800bhp? That's the sort of performance they obtain out of the engine. Stock car engines are 3 times as big and afford half that power.
The saloon is full of electronic devices, which Nascar fans might vote makes the coup¨¦ drive itself. It's not the case. The driver does adjectives the adjustments from the buttoned console specifically his steering wheel. The electronic system programs the settings given by the squad and the driver and it is used to make the driver's natural life just rather easier. Although it still remains a physical and mental hardship to drive around for 2 hours, within a sweltering heat of up to 60 degree Celsius, with 1 to 6 G's crushing you to the walls of the sanctuary cell and trying to shear your head bad.
Plus most of the circuits where F1 race are being held are emblematical.
Monaco... the Tunnel, Ste Devote, the Casino bend, the Grand Hotel Hairpin, the Rascasse... illustrious places on the circuit; very well-known places and turns;
Imola... the Tamburello, Tosa, the Variante Alta and the Variante Bassa, the Rivazza, all of which anticipate something to any driver. Especially Tamburello and Tosa.
Suzuka(the 130R) and Belgium(the Eau Rouge): the most fearsome turns for any driver. Tests of great skill.
In the end, here is nothing that beat F1.
F1 is superior to any 4-wheeled motorsport on the face of the soil.
I think your friends are right! #8 ROCKS!!
Neither. Give me Superbike for indisputable racing.
F1
F-1
Schoemacher adjectives the way. Yah Ferrari.
I want to hear that engine whine.
nascar
I'm a disciple of both but enjoy F1 slightly more...the faster the better.*smiles* Enjoy!
Like Nascar process better way too much technology surrounded by the F1 cars
Old granny on a moterbike dresses like Dasiy Duke! or an ripened man with a wicker!
Can't really compare them as they are differnet racing styles.
formula 1 is more exciting. i individually prefer WRC
F1 is way more quick and fun. Michael's good too
As a Briton, it is markedly F1.
ummm okay Ricky Bobby!..Formula 1 is the sh*t!!
NASCAR rules.
F1 is for pu$$y$
It's not even worth a debate. NASCAR goes around within circles, and they play follow the leader.
F1 have the most skilled drivers in the world. They enjoy to drive in adjectives weather conditions, and at the highest speeds. Put Michael Schumacher contained by a NASCAR, and he would probably win 15 races a season.
Yeah, but the prospect of watching any live is not appealing. I have freinds who hold gone to both, and thought it was a misuse of money. NASCAR is organized collaboration of most of the American motor sports. If the Europeans can form the same category of union, possibly, but for now I love NASCAR.
They are so different it's similar to comparing baseball and football. Plus, how do you define superior? They may relish NASCAR more but when it comes to technology and driving ability I cogitate F1 is WAY ahead. As far as entertainment NASCAR probably is superior.
I prefer F-1 to NASCAR. I fall asleep watching cars dance in circles for three hours. I grain like here is more skill involved in F-1. Rally race beats them both, though.
i reason all ur friends are wonder like me i also close to nascar its like playing originally the crashes burns ans speed it simlply rocks
i will inform you wen i get subsidise from the chinese grand prix subsequent month.sorry had to boast a bit.F1
F1 is the pinnacle of worldmotor race. Nascar is just the pinnacle of adjectives them American world championships, where on earth people come from adjectives over town to participate.
F1 cars are lighter (600kg), probably more powerful (though down to around 750bhp beside this years new V8 engine regs), amend direction faster and have some of the most spectacular & important circuits in the world, including:
- Suzuka
- Spa Francorchamps (back subsequent year)
- Silverstone
- Monza
- Imola
- Monaco
- Indianapolis GP Circuit
With corners with name like:
- 130R
- Eau Rouge
- Blanchemont
- Stavelot
- Copse
- Becketts
- Bridge Corner, Priory & Brooklands
- Parabolica (Monza)
- Ascari Chicane
- Tamburello (imola)
- Variante Alta
- Variante Bassa
- Ravazza
- The tunnel at Monaco
NASCAR is the epitome of the excuse family give for not watching motor race of "it's just cars going round contained by circles". with corner specified only as Turn1, Turn2, Turn3, Turn 4.
I tried watching a season review of NASCAR at the launch of this year. It bored the crap out of me so much I changed channels after in the order of 2minutes (and that's not happened contained by the whole 15yrs I've be a motor racing fan).
And if anymore convincing be needed, check out these online F1 crash videos:
http://f1.online.free.fr/videos/videos90...
The other nouns where F1 win over NASCAR is the F1 boys come out to play in the drizzling and put on a show (e.g. remember Hungary a few weeks ago?), while the NASCAR ones are too chicken, despite having smaller number power & acceleration to keep below control.
I think nascar is a bunch of not conversant rednecks who drive around in circles bumping into respectively other until one of them can cross the finish line first in need crashing. Its rumored that there trying to educate monkeys to drive nascar and some have throb current pole times at Datona. F1 is the more sophisticated and classy of the two. The cars driven are the most technologically advanced machines on any track and they pilfer skill and intelligence to drive. The drivers are considered the best in the world near the exception of arrogant Americans who think driving within circles is difficult. bottom line, contained by f1 the drivers acually know how to turn right.
I prefer F1 racing because of its cars and tracks.
Marketwise: F1 is more world widely agreed and marketable.
In the US: NASCAR, no doubt.
Really giant reving engines vs good antiquated Detroit Iron.
Myself: Loved F1 forever, but slowly but surely starting to like NASCAR that they're running road courses as capably.
Love McLaren, just aversion: The Schmmacker.
Nascar is ... well ... "They're turning gone ... still left ... slight moved out ... left more."
F1, it's a track. A road. With corners. In both directions. And the cars are pushing the boundaries of technology, not big, lethargic, old American V8 engines.
Without a doubt F1 is better. The rivalries on nascar are too friendly whereas Formula1 have rivalries that are tense and humiliated to watch.
NASCAR
Definetly NASCAR! HANDS DOWN! F-1 BLOWS!
I love NASCAR! Okay, F1 plays follow the commanding officer, not NASCAR. They actually PASS eachother surrounded by NASCAR. In F1 how many folks realistically have a karma to win the race? 2 or 3? In NASCAR at lowest possible half the pen has a accidental to win. I've tried watching F1, but I find it VERY BORING!!! When I can't sleep, I put F1 on the TV. Then I go out close to a light! lol! :) NASCAR also have way more fan. So, I agree with your friends (I'm not southern & I love NASCAR).
Oh yeah, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Rules!!!
GO #8!!!
NASCAR is by far better!!
GO JEFF GORDON!!!

What is the difference between a Motorcycle helmet and a snowmobile helmet?
Answers:
A motorcycle helmet has a single pane shield. The weather, when riding a motorcycle, is usually melt enough that the shield will not fog up. Motorcycle helmets are D.O.T. approved and sometimes SNELL approved. Snowmobile helmets own a double paned shield to reduce fogging of the shield due to the colder temperature. Snowmobile helmets are often D.O.T. approved but from time to time SNELL approved. The SNELL approval means that the helmet pass more tests than a helmet that does not hold the SNELL approval. Also there is no difference on how they should fit. A properly fitted helmet will consistency snug but not too tight and not too loose. Hope this answered your question.
A snow boarding helmet fits around your come first a little more loosly. A motorcycle helmet is more snug, and more protective on how it is made. I suggest if you want to buy a motorcycle or snowboard that you use the correct gear.
To jinks;
He said snowMOBILE not snow board!
I wouldn't deliberate there's much difference between the two. But just to be sure, I cogitate I'd call the local motorcycle shop or sports store and ask them.
On top of how they fit,...I believe motorcycle helmets are made to know how to handle more impact. I don't know for sure my hubby and I don't wear them on our bike.
A snowmobile helmet offer more warmth and most adjectives of them protect the chin/jaw . They also have a vent to backing stop fogging in the shield. Motorcycle helmets can allso grant full protection,but most only give very little at adjectives. Don't get me wrong they are better than no helmet at adjectives.
I ride Snowmobiles and Motorcycles. I don't like wearing a helmet while rideing my motorcycle.but within NYS it's the law. I resembling wearing a helmet while on my snowmobile...because it keeps me warner. I'm also a EMT and believe it or not Helmets do hide away lives.
one could be safer of cement
