New to the place. I grew up around being around racing quite a bit, as my grandfather was a fairly successful drag racer in the States in the quickrod division. He had a lot of friends that did other types of racing besides drag, and I was often around his shop where he was constantly working to improve his car, and he also followed Le Mans and NASCAR. I've always had a fascination with F1 and IndyCars but never really followed F1 until this season, outside of keeping up with Andretti highlights back in the day. I have a lot to learn, but I actually rather enjoy being in that spot since it's still fresh for me. Been watching a lot of the previous season's races as well, and just find the F1 cars of today unbelievably remarkable. Always had a soft spot for the Ferrari F1's and I support their team, though ATM I don't tend to favor one particular driver. Alonso and Massa certainly get a bit of bias though. :-o

Anyway cheers, hope to have interesting discussion. :wavey:

Welcome to the forum, we've not had a new member that supports Ferrari for a while, makes a change from all the McLaren and Red Bull fans influx!

Welcome to the forum, despite supporting the team from the dark side and Fernando (I no have idea how that got there/it wasn't me/I can't help it if trouble follows me) Alonso.

Enjoy your time here. :wavey:

Hey, welcome aboard. I kind of got sidetracked while reading your post. Well everything past the word "quickrod" :hehe:

I'd actually never heard the term before... so what's the difference between a quickrod and a hotrod? Or is it like a hero, sub, grinder, or po' boy kind of thing?

"I don't want to be part of a forum where everyone has differing opinions." Boom...

Here you go M8, about half way down they get to the Quick Rod description.
