I was gonna say stock car, but Mr4Speed one upped me. I'm with him. There would be nothin' like tossing an early Shelby or Cobra around the twisties. Mmmm. That's a dream world I could live in for a little while.Originally posted by Mr4SpeedBakersfield, CA.Comment

Re: POLL: If You Could Be One....
Brian, you forgot those of us who'd rather have been racing the factory hot rods of the 60's. That's the era I wish I'd been in.Comment

Re: POLL: If You Could Be One....
Without a single doubt in my mind:
Pro motocrosser in the 80's mixing it up with the likes of Johnny O'Mara, Broc Glover, David Bailey, Ron Lechien, Jeff Ward, Rick Johnson, Damon Bradshaw, etal.
Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

Re: POLL: If You Could Be One....
Man this is a tough one!!!
At first I said '60 funny car driver...
Then I remembered that Mickey Thompson did funny cars, rails, Bonneville, Baha... Basically did it all. That was major cool.
But wait a minute, Mark Donohue did the Original Trans Am, Can Am, Indy and F1. That might have been cooler still.
And then the is Roger Penske. He may not have driven it all, but he certainly was at the center of it all.
I think I'll go with Mark Donohue and the 60's to 70's road racer. It was the coolest times. very dangerous, but cool.
