    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    Ottawa tonight for the Flyers. Not even close to holding my breath on this one. A win would be a wonderful present, but it would almost be just as shocking. I'm a skeptic. I hold hope, but I'm not betting any money, or even being cocky about it. I really don't have much faith. I would...

    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    Who on earth is still talking Flyers in the finals????? There's no indication that Forsburg can go more than a month without missing a handful of games. There's no indication that either goalie can get hot, and stay hot for more than a handful of games. The only thing the Orange & Black...

    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    Yeah, I think I should have negativve feelings the rest of the season. :D Two nice wins back-to-back. Now they have to play Ottawa....:o Detroit has the best record in all of hockey right now. Between Detroit and Ottawa it looks like both teams are set up to make the finals unless there...

    What's wrong with auto racing in the US of A?

    I guess I'm having trouble expressing the question? Does oval track racing lend itself to television coverage better than roadracing? Is the popularity of NASCAR based on that aspect of media coverage? Is it simply that it's easier to see the whole track, and therefore easier for TV...

    What's wrong with auto racing in the US of A?

    Maybe I did not word it correctly but I was not really talking about the state of racing so much as how television covers it which is why I did this in the Film and TV forum. Is there some reason connected with how television in America covers racing that oval track Nascar has grown so...

    What's wrong with auto racing in the US of A?

    But is there something about American TV coverage that makes NASCAr translate so well to the American public that F1 and other roadracing series doesn't have? Personally I'd rather watch a roadrace than and oval race. But what is it about oval racing that America's seem to love so much?

    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    Flyers beat the Devils last night 2-1 in a nail biter, and play the Rangers tonight. Rnagers have been hot and stinkin' Jagr has been ripping the Flyers a new one almost every game they've played since December. I actually like where the Flyers sit right now. I'd rather see a first round...

    What's wrong with auto racing in the US of A?

    I checked out the CHAMP website and see that they have a full schedule of racing. Appears to be split between NBC, ABC and SpeedTV. The question is how exciting will the racing be? I seem to remember much like F1 that it takes next to no time for the cars to get really spread out and the...

    What's wrong with auto racing in the US of A?

    I was speaking more about the popularity of it. Do they/ will they show it on national TV? Will it have names like Unser, Foyt, Fitapaldi, Andretti, Mansell, Mears, Rahal? Why is it that NASCAR can dominate the TV ratings even surpassing some of the major league sports like Baseball and...

    What's wrong with auto racing in the US of A?

    This one's got your name all over it muggle. :D I used to watch Nascar. Got bored. I uesd to watch Indy Car before the split to IRL and CHAMP. Then they split and IRL was so boring I couldn't get interested, and CHAMP has just faded away. America loves automobiles. America loves...

    Is Ethanol our ticket out of The Middle East?

    That's true. What the heck happened to that sport? I used to watch before the split happened. I get tired of watching oval racing so the IRL lost me. Did trying to be the F1/Nascar equivolent destroy open wheel racing in America? Andretti, Unser, Mears, Fitapaldi, Nigel Mansell...

    Is Ethanol our ticket out of The Middle East?

    Indy Car Racing is getting into it: Thirsty for Ethanol In the Year 2007 the winning Indy 500 car will be running pure ethanol along with every other car and at every race.

    Is Ethanol our ticket out of The Middle East?

    There is some talk around whether or not oil is a finite volume of liquid. I've heard that in some cases wells that were once thought to be pumped dry have suddenly produced more oil. There's also the question of where exactly oil comes from. Once thought to be the byproduct of dinosaur...

    Is Ethanol our ticket out of The Middle East?

    Why would the tree huggers and cattle industry fight it? I've repeatedly stated I don't see it as "The Answer" to all the energy problems America faces in the future, but at some point we've got to start moving to cut back on foreign oil. Science is moving forward and getting better results...

    Price per gallon at the pumps. Gasoline vs. E85 Looks a bit cheaper than gasoline, not $5.00 or higher

    Is Ethanol our ticket out of The Middle East?

    Not sure where you are getting that Ethanol is over $5.00 per gallon, and what's to stop gasoline form hitting that mark in the next two years or so? America is too huge and spread out for an improved mass transit system to really effect most people unless they all give up living anywhere...

    Is Ethanol our ticket out of The Middle East?

    I fully agree that hydrogen is or should be the ultimate goal. But, you are talking a completely different entity. Ethanol can be the weening method to help guide us in that direction. Ethanol does not require an entirely differnet type engine and vehicle. Ethanol can be incorporated...
