Hello all. I'm up here in Northern MN and right now snowmobiles and ice skates are the order of the day. 20 BELOW zero F.
I've been an F1 fan since the mid '70's. Niki Lauda in Ferrari, James Hunt, Ronnie Peterson, Rene Arnoux in the turbo Renault, and most thrilling of all Ayrton Senna in the McLaren MP4/4 turbo, and in the slow MP4/8 in the rain at Donington Park in '93. Senna, the rain master!
I still love reading Rob Walker's F1 reports in my dad's old issues of Road&Track from the mid '60's to the '90's. His reports and annual driver reviews remain unsurpassed to this day. The coverage of F1 in America is pathetic nowadays.
You folks all know here in the States most people are enamored of roundy round racing in archaic pushrod and carburetor equipped cars that weigh at least 3400 pounds(1545 kilos)! I've always despised NASCAR. It's often hard to find true F1 fans in America.
I am trying fantasy F1 for the first time this year and I've got a team on the McLaren website as well as 5 teams on the Fantasyracers website. Speaking of the Fantasyracers site, I've set up a private league on there called AllAmerican F1. I'm having no luck finding people to join this league here and I would like to invite any Americans who'd like to join this free private league to sign up. Once again the league name is AllAmerican F1 and the password is melonhead. Join up all you Yanks!
Thanks for the forum and I look forward to the F1 season.
