As it is now I never bother any more because everything is basically old news by the time it comes on the air (especially when it's more than 24 hours delayed for Saturday night Cup races).<BR/><BR/>I sure would like to have an extended immediate post-race show to go with the 3+ hours of immediate pre-race coverage we get every week. If Fox, TNT, and ESPN/ABC aren't going to set aside room for immediate post-race shows themselves, a live Victory Lane immediately upon the race network's sign-off would be the perfect substitute in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>The current 'norm' of 3+ hours of immediate pre-race and only 5 minutes of immediate post-race followed by NASCAR darkness all across TV for the next several hours leaves much to be desired, from my perspective.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-1681327610361974032008-10-11T15:03:00.000-04:002008-10-11T15:03:00.000-04:00The key is that it is not electric, but a charged ...The key is that it is not electric, but a charged battery that just starts a normal engine when it gets to a certain low point.<BR/><BR/>I get all kinds of email stuff as a result of my site, and some of it is wild.<BR/><BR/>Whoever gets a lightweight battery that can run a mid-sized car 40 miles a day is going to be the next Bill Gates.<BR/><BR/>The percentage of drivers who commute less than 40 miles a day is staggering. <BR/><BR/>Chevy better get in gear, there is a group waaaaaay out east that is working very hard on this challenge.<BR/><BR/>They already dominate NASCAR.<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-61805453765767107062008-10-11T14:56:00.000-04:002008-10-11T14:56:00.000-04:00JD i know all good things must come to an end, I w...JD i know all good things must come to an end, I was fasinated by the interal combustion engine since about the age of 5 or 6 stated building lawn mower engines around 8 or 9 and was well into cars by about 10 years old,now I have a shop for about the last 20 years. Technolgy has benn changing since i started in a shop in the mid to late seventy's. The Chevy Volt although I'm not big on change I know it's a comin, and I know that is where we are headed, I guess at this point if we can keep our auto industry going that is what wil need to be done.

GM went on record as saying that as long as they build the first generation Volt, they will never make a dime selling the car even while selling it for between $30,000 and $40,000. Further,GM said it plans to build no more than 60,000 per year.Probably only a 1000 will be available in late 2010 if they can stay on schedule.Prius sales have maxed out at roughly 250,000 per year as a point of reference.The Prius has just broken even financially even though it was introduced in Japan in 1997 and here in either 2000 or 2002. They had been losing $2000 per car. The Prius battery used to cost $4200.Don't know what it costs today.It is NMH (Nickel Metal Hydride). This is a bad year for cars,but we'll still sell 15 million this year.Gas hybrids represent roughly 2% of new car sales.The lithium ion battery in the Volt is $10,000, weighs 400 pounds and will probably require replacement during the vehicle's life. At least one Company is exploring leasing the batteries.I agree with JD.An affordable, mass produced electric car WOULD change the world, but there are still many challenges ahead,too many to cover here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-75370875872924823412008-10-11T14:51:00.000-04:002008-10-11T14:51:00.000-04:00Some guys started making kits you could by online ...Some guys started making kits you could by online to allow hybrid cars to be plugged in at home.<BR/><BR/>Chevy is just moving the rock one more notch up the hill.
