Re: [RC] WEG 2006 - rides2far




What this means is that NASCAR drivers are willing to sacrifice 

thei> > engine to win the race as winning the race is more important

than 

an engine that can easily be replaced.  


Ya'll are gonna have to lighten up on those NASCAR boys. They're
apparently more concerned with finishing than the WEC guys. I heard and
interview the other day and the points leader said  one "non finish" in a
race over the course of a season is all  you can afford and still have a
chance at the points championship.  That's why you see them replace an
entire engine and get a limping car back out onto the track if at all
possible just to finish...because like us, the last one to finish *still*
beat everyone who didn't.
