Our Russian one-race substitute seemed to do a credible job last race. He seemed to put his car in the most competitive spot possible. Don't recall any of his moves being unsportsmanlike, nor particularly damaging to his team/cars.

He might be a keeper ( sorry, I already forgot his name ).

Also, Dart size might be a wee-bit of a handicap against these other models. I'm sure there are some benefits to the footprint, but it seems the other Hatch config, smaller footprint cars just give the impression of being a smidge more nimble - which is needed in this series.

We'll see. As far as the dude who subbed for travis last race; he actually did a pretty good job. Every time he was racing, he was in the front of the pack; until, as i mentioned before, red light restart & then he was hit at some point, I think.

I agree. He did what a good driver is supposed to do. He tried to 'legally' block into a turn, but with more than one to block that leaves others open to attempt a pass. I believe he got tagged right before the apex of the turn. That put him behind two cars with no momentum.

Here is some food for thought, IF the Dart were to eventually come in a Hatchback style as reported this week, this might become the advantage against Ford, that Chrysler might be seeking to move toward. Put to the fact that GM may be entering the race with the Chevrolet Sonic this week, this could help GM get of the ground faster than Chrysler to compete against Ford for wins on the track.

Time will tell.

A Dart Hatch will be interesting. It will give Dart another shot at putting a better spin on the Model .
