If speeds were limited to 60Mph, I'd say enter an M1A1 Tank. ;) Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

They are fuel limited too. This year 1 tank full has to last the full race. |

Of course I don't know the exact range of an M1A1 Abrams Battle Tank is, But It does weigh about 60 Tons(short). :D Pretty crushing hardware and all to carry a 120mm gun. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

They are fuel limited too. This year 1 tank full has to last the full race. I don't think Haliburton has anything to do with the Abrams Tank, As General Dynamics makes the M1-M1A2 Tank. And It seems I was wrong on the speed, Must have been the speed run by an early prototype, 42-45 on road and about 30 Mph off road, 500 gallon fuel supply, This tank eats Russian Tanks for Breakfast, It loves T-72 and older Tanks as Saddam had plenty of them and the Abrams was takin them out 3 miles away and the Iraqi gunners couldn't see who or where the shots were coming from as their systems could only see about 1 mile away. Also It seems the Tanks have gotten heavier since they were 1st made, Their now around 67 short tons. With TUSK for urban warfare. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

At the risk of the mods displeasure for hijacking; Haliburton, would get the contract to supply and transport the fuel used by the tanks. [Any further discussion about tanks belongs elsewhere.] Did see some dirt track action today on TV. Trucks and buggies on the same track. |

The Chili Bowl is generally considered to be the start of the US racing season. Ahh, so this thread really is just about F1 and not car racing in general? And, "as well as" means "in addition to", not "including". Maybe you should read instead of mocking things you know nothing about. I'm sure glad I didn't bring up Danica Patrick running a partial ARCA and Nationwide series this year in addition to the full IRL schedule. I will now leave you all to your F1 fantasy and no longer try to educate in other forms of racing. Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

I dont think its meant to Labbie. We´ve talked about other series as well. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Hold your horses Labbie. Just trying to bring out a smile or two. We have talked about other races. In fact I never raced F1. The best I ever did was a 3rd in the Baja 1000. That's a long way from Monza. And as for the play on words, I'm a lawyer. I know how to twist words for fun and profit. |

Has anyone heard more info on dana kirkpatrick going to NASCAR this season. Suppose you mean Danica Patrick....and yes she'll be running a partial schedule. I read it at least a month ago...just can't remember where |
