Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 5:30 pmHey, Marlboro spent and continues to spend quite a bit of money on that team (Mclaren). He was only pleasing his sponsor. Ironically, he died of cancer. Anyone know if it was lung cancer?

I remember seeing him up close and personal in the pits at Silverstone at the British Grand Prix in 1975, when he was driving for Hesketh, in the 308C. He was just starting to go out with Suzy, who became his first wife - I remember her well too!
Sadly missed.

Hunt came to the Long Beach GP in a leg cast (skiing) as part of broadcast team, there was a crash right at the start, the guy in the booth says, "James, did you see what happened down there?" Hunt says, "Someone had their cock out, didn't they?" That pretty much ended his career at CBS.

Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2007 3:42 am......yes it can be but the cars are the most sophisticated....next year should be spin-OH-rama without the traction control... wind is a big problem also at 210mph with an 1100 pound 800 HP car, too bad Colin isn't around to solve the problem. He could've found a way to pass (if he had to.... )
The IRL provides the best racing for me on American TV (by far) but...what the heck is Michael Andretti trying to say???
