Doug : Yes, I  did, over a week ago ..... The Foot is in the Door in '06  ~
 
     I wonder how many more racing seasons  before the fans will be looking 
up and down 
the track( or pits )to see if there are any American cars left in the races  ?
     Big Ford layoffs / plant closings already  announced ......looks like 
the global economy 
deal will bring about many many changes, whether we like them or not  .......
      A whole lotta room in China for Nascar  to build tracks and peddle 
merchandise.......
 
Since the early Fifties I seem to remember most of the oval  track 
associations' rulebooks stating something like this: "open to  AMERICAN made 
cars only, 
between the years of
( various years given, depending on class ....... ).   NO  Convertibles, 
station wagons, or pickup trucks allowed .    I  guess that is all going out 
the 
window now.  Time Marches On  ~
BTW : Is the term 'station wagon' used anymore these days, or has it joined  
hand-
cranked engines, carbide lamps, and dimmer switches on the floorboard  ?
