DU Group launch attempt: Motorsport

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

The DU Motorsport Group is where fans of car & bike racing (or anything that has an engine) meet to discuss this family of exciting sports. Also known as the "Vroom Vroom" group.

Do I still need ten people? Or more?

[mr_hat]

1. I'd enjoy participating. n/t

[XNASA]

2. Groovy. Count me in.

[Coventina]

3. Me! I'd love to talk about F1, WRC, Champ Car, ALMS,

Le Mans & Dakar.

:toast:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. Le Mans-style racing is the donkey's shiznit.

I wish they broadcasted the thing in Brazil. :cry:

[Coventina]

5. Bummer, dude.

I don't have cable, so I don't see a lot of it myself.

My husband gets his parents to videotape races for us, and then we watch them later.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

6. Well, at least I have F1, IRL, and Brazilian Stock Car on broadcast TV

Cable doesn't give me that many events except -- gaaak -- NASCAR. But there's a sports channel with a nice motorsport news segment late at night.

Can't you visit your inlaws to watch some races live?

[Coventina]

8. No, it's not really feasible. For one thing, they aren't into motorsports

But of course, the worst problem is F1 time scheduling.

:-)

7. Kick for the afternoon petrolheads (nt)

[DS1]

9. Go for it

I'll drop in when F1 gets interesting :P

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. F1 naysayers are welcome

It's motorsport in general.

[Ladyhawk]

21. Did I waste gas by clicking on this thread?

Hehe...j/k. :)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. It seems that, in fact, you crossed the finish line.

23. Congrats. I hope you guys have a lot of fun. :) n/t

[Bombero1956]

24. count me in

Noogies to anyone who puts down Nascar though.

[Ladyhawk]

25. If you guys set up your own forum, you can keep out naysayers.

I'm just nays-, er, sayin'. Personally, I don't understand the allure, but other folks don't understand some of my pastimes, either. :shrug:

[HEyHEY]

26. Why? So Brazillians can bitch about race results internationally?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

27. That's about it, yeah.

Not that it did a lot of good for YOUR guy, anyway. </gloat>

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

[Skinner]
