If you ask some dude named Plape, it stands for you and kidc are the worst posters ever and should stop posting.

Random things read in Cytube chat, which conveniently stores conversations that happen when you're not in channel!*

So we're all like "we should do this, we should do that" but very little doing! So this weekend I'm gonna spend some time and find some good poo poo, and next Weds. at around 7pm EST I'll light it off. The theme is going to be "The Days of Big Horsepower".

Figure some 80's turbo F1 if possible, Can-Am, maybe pre-88 NASCAR at a superspeedway, stuff like that. 1,000hp+ cars going 200mph+

So mark your calenders!

It should make for a good night. Back then aero, tires and brakes were kinda there, but they were too stupid to understand that what they were doing was completely idiotic.

That always makes for great racing.

I'm all for it, if I have free time and I'm not playing video games, I'm watching old car races and auto related videos on YouTube. Be much more fun to do it in a chat room with other likeminded Real Cool Dudes.

Just a reminder that at 7pm EST I'll be in here running some cool poo poo. The big horsepower thing is a wash, but you'll like it. Not even all ovals!

We're taking a trip to 1992. Trans-Am, IROC and USAC

I guess he was a 3 time class winner at the 24 hours of Daytona.

And won some titles in IMSA/Trans Am.

I'd like to call him up some time and ask him what the hell he did, because his accomplishments sound amazing. My dad's only met him once, (sadly at a funeral).

Tried asking Varsha and all I got was "Look him up on google". Which well..hasn't provided me much.

Dude, you post in racing threads and you're related to him by marriage, but you don't know who Pete Halsmer is?

I'm slapping you so hard in my mind right now.

My netbook was low on battery last night and the AC adapter decided to not work. Then I gave up and went to bed. I'll have to look the old TNN video up to get all sentimental about old commercials.

Just a reminder that at 8pm EST I'm kicking off some 80's turbo love. Be there or get cancer or something. About 6 hours of racing, come on in, have a few drinks and laugh with us while your girl slaves over the stove secretly hating you.

There's a lack of anything of quality regarding Can-Am, so anything you upload would be worth it.

I'm in the channel again watching some BMB5150 stuff if anyone wants in.

Well, since we got like 18" of snow since Sunday, the sale at the auction tomorrow is gonna suck rear end. As such I might not do my usual, so I'm gonna watch some stuff tonight.

8pm EST I'll start screening, thinking of an old IROC race to start off.

OK, I had to bail early on you guys last night and today was easier than expected at work, so tonight at 8pm EST I'll be picking it back up.

Oval races naturally, hopefully some mods or supermods, or maybe an 80's superspeedway race of some sort.
