Sorry for taking this too seriously
On mature reflection I have realised I'm taking this all too personally and I would like to apologize. Also to invite anyone to remind me that I'm taking things too seriously the next time I do it.
I have a terrible backache and I've been up late watching Rally so I can do race reports for my website, and it has made me cranky. |

What are you talking about Liz?
You've been nothing of the sort!

I hope you are feeling better soon Liz. Lift too many boxes of books during your move, did you?
It seems like MANY people are taking the IRL vs CART issue too seriously, if that's what you mean. A few anxious words and sharp retorts are nothing when you consider Dario Franchitti is getting death threats. THAT'S taking it too seriously. |

Death threats!.....Thats crazy!
Its funny but at one time I thought TG was the anti-christ himself for doing what he has been doing to my fav. racing series. Now I feel that he may be doing CART a favour by streamlining their organization so that they can use the leadership provided by Pook as opposed to constantly infighting amongst the teams. Is it possible that by having top drivers race in the IRL with 10 to 20 percent attendance caps. they will see that CART really isn't so bad? Hope you feel better soon Liz. |

Thanks -- someone has recommended something that sounds like Robots (robax?) and I'm going to get it on the way home. I suspect NeilC is correct and it was too much heavy lifting over the last week.
 If anyone is making death threats to any driver, he has completely lost his mind. Unless he is Jean Alesi chasing Trulli through the infield at Montreal or something. I just asked him if he was really that hard up for money -- was Ms. Judd not getting the good roles after all? |

I miss hearing Alesi shouting "I WEEL KEEL YOOOOOOOOOU!" Can't help thinking that it has made Trulli the "marathon man" he is today.
Robaxacel and aspirin patches have helped me feel better, and I hope to be able to approach life more calmly by tomorrow. |

Jay, thanks for calling my attention to it; I went back and checked my source which refered to "threatening messages" sent to Dario. It was bad journalism on my part to make it into "death threats". Sorry for the hyperbole.
A threatening message could be anything from a death threat to a threat to return Ashley Judd movies to Blockbuster without rewinding them, which in some states, carries a heavier penalty than a death threat.  Liz, try a heating pad too. If it doesn't ease the pain and stiffness, it is at least very comforting. |

Thank Neil, threats of any kind are quite serious and should stop. I know this upcoming weekend won't be pretty for those three, but I really hope people can show respect at least. There's nothing wrong with letting them know what you think, but it can be done politely.

Yes, politely boo them in the drivers' parade, just like everyone did to TGF in Montreal!
