You must have been soaked tea lol. I also remember the mass exodus after Villeneuve crashed lol. He really still has a lot of fans. He got a lot of Canadians into CASCAR

Yeh him and Carpentier had a lot of fans there that race. And no I wasn't soaked. We got there really early to watch the Canadian NASCAR race (which was a lot more interesting then the NASCAR race since it was more sprint-like and the leader crash right in front of me (litterally, I was at the fence and he hit the tire barriers in front of me
) on the last lap) so we had a good spot under a tree which was on a little hill too so it was a really good spot. Not soaked, good spot to watch the cars pass and well get it wrong. A couple of spins there and that crash was epic .I like NASCAR at montreal. I wish sprint cup would go there. But hey, let's have montreal rain again 
That rain race was funny, most Nascar drivers can't handle the rain..... hahahha funny.
Like the Brazilians. In mid-90's we just had Barrichello (on F1, of course) and we had to had some faith on him. The problem is the brazilian media is very mean sometimes, and bad, for losers. Today Barrichello in Brazil, is infortunately, a joke.
I'm a NASCAR fan, by the way you might have realised that I'm kinda a newbie on motorsport, I guess you have to agree with me that a ALMS would fit better than Sprint Cup. That's atleast racional.
The only outcome of a JV comeback will be nothing by proving his critics wrong to be honest, although I do like him as a personality.
He is simply not good enough to be given so many opportunities in F1.

Maybe if he stayed on Williams on 98... Dunno what was happening that time, I was too child that age.
Wtf you talking about?
Throughout that entire green flag session not a single NASCAR driver spun out.
In fact, the only car to crash out was Max Papis...PAPIS, a ChampCar/Rolex star. The only major incident was at the end when NASCAR should have called the race cause the entire track was a massive puddle (look at videos of the race. Not even F1 could have raced in that condition).
After a few laps, all, and I mean all of the NASCAR drivers kept their cool, raced cleanly and impressively. Also keep in mind that with a stock car....yes a 100000 ton stock car, in the rain is not easy to drive and most of the drivers there have never even seen a race in the rain.
The NASCAR drivers performed admirably imho. Sure, they got owned by Ambrose, Pruett, Villeneuve, Fellows and Carpentier. But these drivers have raced in the rain before and some of these guys are even better in the rain (JV, Pruett, Fellows).
Lol JV rammed someone in the back IIRC because his team didn't have wipers ready xD so he couldnt see a thing... :P
Scott Pruett and Joey Logano had the same problem
NASCAR's inexperience with the rain showed that day, hopefully the same mistake wont occur again....BUT I'll be doing the rain dance at Montreal this year
with the amount of rain we are getting over here this summer you won't even need to dance lol there's like a 80% chance of rain
you guys took the rain that is supposed to be here on the west coast....
but one question, why does nascar send that truck with a jet engine everytime that the track is a little bit damp ?
Because they dont race in the rain... Now they do in some NASCAR series' on road courses so they have rain tires, they didn't before so it was all slicks... On oval it would be way too dangerous to race in the rain... Rain tires would get shredded in 2 secondes...
Yeah, due to some flak that NASCAR has gotten for shortening or delaying races because of rain, NASCAR has opted to add in the option of using rain tires/wipers/rain lights on road courses.
This first got put into motion in Montreal last year.
Ovals? Forget it...it's dangerous enough without the rain...anyone remember the indy 500 rain fail? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T95GgQJnOdM
Yeah...i'd rather have a race delayed than watch that...
thats why ovals are not fun.... racing + rain = awesome to watch.... but its lame when they have to stop because of a little shower...
are you stupid, oval with rain is not smart.
Did you even watch that video I posted?....
How can anyone say THAT was fun....
Thats cuz they were on slicks though, if they had rain tires it would've been cool. Problem is, rain tires would get destroyed in abouttttttttttttt 5 laps if they're lucky imo :P
They were on slicks instead of real actual rain tires for a reason
